| Course Objectives | The digital and physical making course will focus on practical industrial applications, problem solving and professional approach within a contemporary theoretical framework. This course presents a theoretical and practical view of new and alternative technologies on architectural design and related fields. The aim is to embrace inventive application of material and digital technologies in design. Through readings and case-studies the course will conduct a projective survey of contemporary thinking and practices. Through digital coding, material investigations and contemporary making methods, students will design and manufacture a design system. |

|
| Course Description | Computational and computerized strategies are used to develop the geometry and assemblies of material systems. Digital modelling platforms are used to support the construction of physical models. These are analysed in terms of their material qualities and making processes. |
