Introduction

Algorithm Rome summer school has an advanced computational approach that enables designers and architects to overcome the imposition of prefixed architectural forms in order to enhance performance-driven design and responsive kinetic solutions that interact with humans and environment. Lectures on parametric design simulation, generative and form finding as well as Kinetic responsive design, analyzing and digital fabrication prototyping, are integrated together in 3 main modules (TRIALOGUE) . Students from the beginning of the school will be divided into groups to compete on a case project increasing their ability to define project parameters, design factors, solving problems, understanding factors relationships, involving environmental and human sensors, and optimizing their projects solutions in smart and inelegance way.

Module 01

Digital design Algorithms and Parametric Architecture

Date: 19 – 23 July 2021

Tools: Rhino3D – Grasshopper – Lunch Box Tool- Kangaroo plugin - Weaver Bird Tool
