Arch 326C - Advanced Concepts in Architectural Computing: Dynamic Materialism

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

The current developments in digital technology allow mathematical expressions to transform complex dynamic systems that have shifted the formal discourse of architecture. The new digitally based techniques are being invented to inform creative processes in architecture through the manipulations of complex geometrical and topological forms. This course focuses on developing new techniques that translate these mathematical developments into diagrammatic design strategies. The animation and modeling software MAYA is deployed by the students for the investigation. Students are taught MAYA with a conceptual development for defining and inventing dynamic-based architectural proposals with multiple perceptions in spatial formations.
