Hi all, this week we are exploring parametric design. A prominent approach in computational design. If you are curious on how this concept is related to other prominent concepts such as generative design, I have uploaded a paper on taxonomy of these concept as supporting materials.
This week materials:
W5 Parametric Design Part 1 and 2 low
Supporting materials:
Computational design in architecture- definiting parametric generative and algorithmic design
Essential precursors to the Parametricism Manifesto
Parametric computation- history and future

Hi all, on this Week 4 we will be reflecting our learning experience for the last three weeks. Firstly I will collect your thoughts which you have kindly submitted every week and provide week-by-week summary. From here we draw a common understanding of what we understand about digital architecture. Subsequently we will be looking at theories, concepts and models of digital in architecture. I think it is really important to pause and reflect on what we have learnt so far to bring us up on the same level of understanding.
Note: If you don’t agree with the summary, feel free to leave your thoughts at the bottom of this page.

How does dialectics between academia and industry exhibited in this project?
How did the conversation between academia and industry in design stages contribute to advancement of the project (and design field)?

Hi all, welcome to week 3 of the module. This week we are exploring digital design practice and research. What I would like you to consider is that how dialectics between academia and practitioners have shaped the way we now think-draw-make. Here are the materials, please spend more reading time this week through the downloadable FABRICATE 2017 book and the input text for discussion.

D1. Putting your utopian thinking hat, how do you envisage your own version of futuristic built environment? You can also upload a quick sketch.
Hi all, here is our Week 2 materials. This week we look at historical background of digital architecture to be able to scrutinise the proliferation of digital design tools. I have compiled decade-by-decade key events and influential figures. It is hoped that once we looked backward we will understand how designer can tap into potentials of technology in the past, to be able to critically inform the future.

Hi all, here are the materials for this Week 1. First part explains about this module (aims and objectives, learning outcomes etc). The second part gives a brief introduction through my writing in terms of digital design pedagogy, click here to download the paper. There are audio embedded on the files so please click of the “play button” icon.
Attached is the Harvard referencing guide for academic writing, for the essay submission. If you have a different existing referencing guide you have been using during your study, let me know and we can discuss.

Week 1 Discussion:
What are major changes in terms of the way architects think, make and design?
