This course operates at the intersection of design and production, introducing students to digital tools critical to contemporary architecture and design. Throughout the semester, students will develop a series of projects which fluidly transition between design, representation, and fabrication with an emphasis on understanding how conceptual design interfaces with material properties. The course will offer a platform for students to research, experiment, and ultimately leverage the potential of digital tools towards a wide array of fields and disciplines. Students will be expected to utilize the Digital Design Studio's resources, including 3D Printers, Laser Cutter, and 4-Axis CNC Mill, as well a selection of fabrication equipment housed in the school's metal and wood shops in order to represent, model, and realize a series of design projects. |
