ARCH10-140: Subtractive Fabrication Lab

Description

This subject introduces you to subtractive digital fabrication methods using NURBS modelling software and physical making using the FSD Fablab and Workshop. You will be introduced to digital design thinking, geometric modelling, and computer numeric controlled (CNC) fabrication techniques using “file to fabrication” workflows. In addition, you will develop critical skills in graphic layout and photography to visually communicate spatial and design quality through physical artefacts and other media.
