Description
This subject introduces students to digital fabrication techniques. Students will develop basic parametric modelling skills and work through design workflow and protocol to create models using digital fabrication techniques. Workshop-based tutorials will develop practical skills with classroom-based instruction to develop the software skills required to design. Students will be introduced to the state-of-the-art in the global application of robotics in architecture and reflect upon emerging technologies and their impact on design.
Subject details
Learning outcomes
- Apply advanced NURBS modelling and parametric software to produce design outcomes.
