Aims |
|
|
• Provides the students with the knowledge, skills and competences to incorporate computational design thinking in an Architectural design project |
|
Learning Outcomes |
|
|
Demonstrate a novel understanding of embedding computational design thinking in an Architectural design project. |
|
|
Demonstrate a critical understanding of how to select and apply appropriate design strategies and techniques to generate, represent and communicate innovative architectural design solutions. |
|
|
Critically appraise the limitations and opportunities in embedding generative design thinking in response to spatial, social, environmental and material investigations in Architecture. |

Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
|
Tutorial - Students will receive customised tutorials and feedback aligned with their domains, and will receive further insight and practical advice from experts in the field. Tutorials will aim to provide formative feedback to the students on their individual design work. |
|
|
Workshop - The workshops will provide guidance to the students to further develop their newly gained technical skills in a practical context through small exercises which will be linked to their final assignment. |

The submission for the design project should include (minimum) various 2D/3D representations of the final design including physical and digital models, drawings, and any other form of representations necessary to communicate the design information and design experience developed throughout the semester. The student is also required to create a very brief text (in addition to the design drawings and models) as a personal reflection on the design project and explaining the conceptual, technical and practical implementation of computational design thinking in the project. | |
