Arch4324 Mimarlıkta Karmaşık Üretim Modelleri

The course aims to develop; a basic understanding of generative systems, at the same time developing fundamental computational knowledge and skills that helps in generative design applications; the ability to integrate generative design approaches in architectural design project by algorithmic methods and tools; the ability to develop an generative system which response to the external inputs. This course presents generative systems and how to apply them in architectural design problems. The students are to develop generative model that response external inputs.

The process of the course is as follows:

Assignment 1| Design Rule – Build your own design rule, apply it to 2 different initial geometries and represent them by using Rhinoceros.

Assignment 2 | Flowchart Development: Develop a Grasshopper Definition by using the flowchart that you created.

Assignment 3 | Parametric Furniture Design: Create your own parametric furniture design by using Grasshopper. You are free to select the type of furniture. (You may create a bench, a table, a chair etc.)

Assignment 4 | Twisting Tower: Create a Twisting Tower design that can be controlled parametrically by using grasshopper.

MIDTERM SUBMISSION: Create your own Wall Designs by using Grasshopper.

Assignment 5 | Create a simple single-story building and analyze its daylight performance by using DIVA 4 for Grasshopper.

Assignment 6 | Physics Simulation: Create your own Structural Shell Design by using Grasshopper.

Assignment 7 | Evolutionary Optimization: Create an optimization process in Grasshopper by Using Octopus.

FINAL SUBMISSION: Develop a generative workflow to create multiple design alternatives for a design problem that is defined by you.

The process of the course is as follows:

Assignment 1 | Shape Grammar: Create two sets of rules in relation to a basic grammar and a ND basic grammar.

Assignment 2 | Data + Data Structures: Create a pavilion by developing an algorithm that allows the control of relevant design parameters. Include Move, Rotate and Scale operations to your algorithm. Create Data List structures to control multiple elements simultaneously.

Assignment 3 | Advanced Data Structures: Create a tower by developing an algorithm that allows the control of relevant design parameters. You may also redefine the parameters of your Assignment 2 submission to generate a tower proposal. Include Move, Rotate and Scale operations to your algorithm. Create Data List and Tree structures to control multiple elements simultaneously.

Assignment 4 | Topology Optimization: Define a problem that can be subjected to a topology optimization process. You are free to define the content and the context of the problem. The resultant product can be a building, a structural system proposal, a building element, a furniture, clothing, etc. You may use tOpos plug-in to define the optimization problem in Grasshopper.

Assignment 5 | Environmental Analysis: Define a problem that can be subjected to environmental analysis processes. Create 3 environmental analysis processes considering different objectives (radiation, shadow path, wind, view, glare, energy, etc.). You are free to define the content and the context of the problem. You may create the building and context of your architectural studio projects or they can be imaginary. You may use Ladybug-Honeybee or ClimateStudio plug-ins to define the environmental analysis problem in Grasshopper.

Midterm Submission: Design a pavilion by developing an algorithm that allows the control of relevant design parameters. Define a design problem that includes a client, a building program, a context. In relation to the design problem, develop an architectural design idea by defining the decision variables (parameters) and design objectives.

Final Submission: Define an architectural design problem that can be subjected to a generative design process. The design problem can be characterized as a new project or an improvement of an existing case. Develop an architectural design idea considering the design objectives and decision variables. Utilize generative design approaches such as Cellular Automata, L-Systems, Fractals, Agent-based Modeling, etc.
