AimThe course objective shows that computation can be done by visual rather than numerical or textual methods. Design analysis, synthesis and design solutions will be obtained by using these conceptual approaches known as "form finding", "form making" and "form calculation" from current digital design approaches. The form calculation studies will be carried out experimentally while the other side will be produced in the digital environment to observe the differences between the two production environments (analogue and digital). Computer programs will be used extensively. This course aims to enable students to systematically use rule-based systems. To understand the figure grammars and transfer them to the architectural design form the course during the semester. Comprehension relations between shapes, objects and different elements are grasped.
Course ContentThis course contains; Parametric design description,Introduction to Rhinoceros,Introduction to Grasshopper,Generative systems,Material system,self-organization system,Computable functions,midterm exam,Design and fabrication,Material Performance,final project sketches,final project design development,final project fabrication strategies,Finishing the final project.
