Arch2211 Hesaplamalı Tasarıma Giriş

The course consists of fundamentals of computational design media forassociating algorithms and parameters of architectural design tasks. The course aims to introduce students to the fundamentals of computational design techniques, algorithmic principles of existing objects and spaces, associate algorithmic way of thinking for fundamental elements of spaces such as slabs, walls, structure, skin, and to explain how to model a space from beginning until the end of digital manufacturing process using the computational tools.

For midterm, participants of ARCH 2211 [Introduction to Computational Design] are required to submit a novel computational design project. Submissions are not limited to any scale or function, but should be understood as an architectural project or representation, this excludes projects in the field of furniture and industrial design. Submission projects can be abstract or realistic, completely novel, or a further development of a lecture, or any other parametric project. Only parametric tower projects will not be accepted for midterm. Your parametric project must consist of a minimum of 20 components, as a requirement.

The final project of ARCH 2211 is to design a high-rise tower project by using computational design tools and to produce a base model, based on a parametric model. Both models need to be submitted as a physical model in the scale of 1:330. Therefore, the digital fabrication method of laser cutting is required.

Midterm: Design a wall that can be controlled parametrically by using grasshopper. Create Groups and relative labels in grasshopper for specific correlated processes.

Final: For the final assignment, students of ARCH 2211 [Introduction to Computational Design] are asked to design a novel computational design project. You can choose between a funicular grid shell structure or a tensile system project. In addition to designing the exact form of the shell or tensile system you need to modify its surface – mesh in order to create a unique structure. This can be a metal structure with glazing and shading devices, a structure that is reacting to attractor with its elements, a waffle structure, a membrane – grid structure combination, et cetera, the possibilities are endless. Please note, that university policies prohibit students plagiarizing any material under any circumstances. The grid shell, respectively the tensile system must cover a minimum projected area of at least 64m2 (64.000cm2).
