Introduction

Robotic Computational technology in Architectural Design and Fabrication is rapidly developed. It ‎provides strong capabilities to create what designers think, communicate and build in real life. The ‎goal of this workshop is to provide the participants with a new digital paradigm in design and ‎fabrication, and make them able to gain practical experience on future trends of computational ‎manufacturing using robotic control system. They merge the fields of art, design, engineering, ‎communications, manufacturing and digital technology. Participants will learn how prototypes can ‎be controlled by Robot and driven by digital parameters. This workshop allows the participants to ‎develop skills on computational design under digital parametric software environment with special ‎focus on Robotic digital software.

Module 01

Digital design and Parametric Architecture

Date: ‎30 August – 02 September 2021‎

Tools: Rhino3D – Grasshopper 3D– Lunch Box Tool- Mesh Edit tool - Weaver Bird Tool

In the beginning of the program, digital and parametric modelling will be introduced to build the ‎necessary skills of parametric generative form methods to students. Students will focus on the idea ‎of creating algorithmic architectural form driven by initial parameters and inspired by nature. This ‎module will be supported by a series of lectures and tutorials on digital modeling software ‎
