AimThe aim of this course is to understand how digital fabrication techniques transform architectural design processes and how they play an effective role in the formation of a design as mutually influential steps. The logic of uzanan digital fabrication geliştir, which is one of the current digital design approaches, will be applied experimentally in the studio environment from concept development stage to prototype development. Students will develop their projects in accordance with the logic and capacities of the use of laser cutting tools, CNC machines and 3d printers, which are digital production tools.
Course ContentThis course contains; ,content of the course and definition of fabrication,discussion of the operations of digital design on rhino program,creating patterns in digital media using operational methods,thinking of two-dimensional patterns to third dimension lifting algorithms,Setting up a network system through the tessellation definition,giving the criterias of the applications brought,preparation of studies,midterm,examination of geometric forms 5 modeling of platonic solids,Creating 3D modules on the surfaces of platonic solids,preparation of the modules on the surface and preparation for fabrication,folding the plates from the fabrication to the 3rd dimension,preparation of products,student presentations.
