| Course Objectives: | The experience of digital technologies in architecture introduced and required a variety of digital skills as a new type of architectural knowledge. This course aims to inform these digital skills and knowledge with a theoretical framework. Computability concepts and techniques are to be evaluated as a possibility to open up channels in translating ideas and transferring concepts from other disciplines to develop architectural interpretations. Through theory, critical study and research, contemporary digital design methods are to be understood in a relationship beyond techniques only. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. To construe different concepts in computing terms theoretically. 2. To make use of basic techniques to transfer concepts in computing terms. 3. To evaluate the theoretical framework for digital techniques. 4. To write an academic paper. |
| The course is taught in a lecture and seminar format and requires attendance at workshops. Along with the study of weekly reading lists and seminar sessions in the class, a concept outside of the field of architecture is proposed by the student at the beginning of the course to be studied for and during the workshops. As for the completion of the requirements of the class, workshop studies are to be presented in an academic research paper proposing the architectural implications and possibilities,and relevance of techniques used within a theoretical framework. |
