Course Objectives: In this studio, students will experiment the advanced techniques of model making with the usage of new technologies, through and after design process. At the end of semester, students will be expected to develop a parametric design model which may be manufactured by 3d printer.

Learning Outputs

The students who have succeeded in this course;
- Ability to use appropriate representational media, such as traditional graphic and digital technology skills, to convey essential formal elements at each stage of the programming and design process.
- Ability to produce a comprehensive architectural project that demonstrates each student’s capacity to make design decisions across scales

Course Content

Recently, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies including computer numerically controlled (CNC) milling, laser cutting and 3D printing are becoming cheaper and globally more accessible. Many design professionals, academics and students have been able to experience the benefits and challenges of using digital fabrication in their designs. The use of digital fabrication has become popular in many schools of architecture, and experimenting with this new technology both professionally and academically, an opportunity to redefine the relationship of architecture to production may occur.
