Poster [x]

Digital fabrication processes and digitally controlled machines have a growing influence on building and thus also on the creative possibilities of architects in design. The principles of mass customization mean that the batch size of one, i.e. the unique specimen, which was common in pre-industrial construction, can once again be produced economically. In this advanced module, the theory and methods of parametric and generative design methods are studied in depth and their linkage with current rapid prototyping methods is tested.

The students work on a project to design tableware. We will use traditional and edge cutting manufacturing techniqzes and incorporate them into creative process of designing new tools. Using an ABB robotic arm, we will do transform our dishes into bespoken artwork.

Digital fabrication processes and digitally controlled machines have a growing influence on building and thus also on the creative possibilities of architects in design. The principles of mass customization mean that the batch size of one, i.e. the unique specimen, which was common in pre-industrial construction, can once again be produced economically. In this advanced module, the theory and methods of parametric and generative design methods are studied in depth and their linkage with current rapid prototyping methods is tested.
The students work on projects in which parametric and generative design methods are applied with regard to selected digital fabrication processes.

After successful completion of the course, students have an in-depth theoretical and technical understanding of the possibilities of generative and parametric methods in architecture and advanced knowledge and skills in the application of current digital fabrication methods. In particular, you will understand their potential for the development of novel design and construction processes.

This course is part of the Elective Module C30 and can only be completed together with the following courses:
161.793 Generative Methods and Digital Fabrication 2
