Performance-Aided Design: Form, Material, Structure, Acoustics and Fabrication
2020/2021
Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module
The module adds to knowledge obtained in 1. semester of the Master’s program in ArchitectureContent, progress and pedagogy of the module
The aim of the course is to enable students with the parametric design tools and the understanding required to develop integrated design with respect to form, material, structure and fabrication. Parametric design tools support the definition of advanced geometry, and the interaction between geometry and structural and/or acoustics analysis. Issues of fabrication are considered in the context of parametric modeling and rapid prototyping.
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Must have knowledge of complex spatial structures, including an understanding of the structural functionality of various construction systems using shells, plates, frames, beams, etc.
- Must have knowledge of parametric design tools that enable the generation of quick feedback loops from generation of form and performance analysis (structure, acoustics)
- Must have knowledge of advanced room acoustics
Skills
- Must be able to use parametric design tools to enable quick feedback loops between geometric exploration of form and performance analysis including structural and acoustic parameters
- Must be able to make a structural analysis of complex spatial structural systems
- Must be able to use advanced numerical tools for structural and acoustics analysis of advanced structural systems or rooms
Competences
- Can create a synthesis of architectural, structural and acoustic requirements larger scale buildings, by using parametric design tools that support the definition and control of advanced geometry, digital fabrication and performance analysis
