Course Objectives: | Architectural design being a mediated activity carried on with design tools and technologies, identity and practice of the architect changes along with the changes in the domain and structure of available information and “possibilities and new dimensions” revealed through new technologies. The aim of this course is to research into questions of how and what might be the effects of design tools and technologies on the domain of architecture and architectural design product. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. To relate changes in technology to changes in culture and architecture. 2. To debate the effects of technologies on architectural design product. 3. To consider and reorganise the architectural design technology literature through recurrent themes. 4. To evaluate theoretical and practical implications of tools and technologies in the culture of architecture. |
This course structures the basic issues and discussions on the architectural design tools and technologies throughly along with selected readings. The course is taught in a lecture and discussion format. The assigned reader list for the week is expected to be read before the class and all class members are expected to attend and take part in the discussion sessions. The research topic to be selected by the student and the instructor is to be presented in the class hour in any chosen medium and to be submitted in a structured academic research paper at the end of the semester to fulfill the requirements of the class. |
