The course comprises of various topics that enhances the theoretical knowledge related with the developing technologies and new design thinking. Design theories in digital age, shift in design thinking, design and production continuum, production technologies, design cognition, algorithmic and parametric design, performance-based design, fabrication technologies, modeling and simulation, digital design tools and devices, design and decision support systems, shape and form studies, human-computer interaction, collaborative design, artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality are some of the topics that will be mentioned and discussed throughout the semester. The effects of possible developments in electronic media and information technologies on the physical world and future manifestos, utopias / dystopias are also to be mentioned and discussed during the class.
