    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.
    Learning Outcomes

    The students who succeeded in this course;

    • will be able to comprehend the theoretical and practical views of new and alternative making techniques in architectural and other design fields.
    • will be able to describe and evaluate alternative practice structures and design processes in contemporary design and production.
    • will be able to analyze and infer computational and computerized strategies to develop the geometry and assemblies of material and digital systems.
    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.
