Architectural Design Workshops: Computational Design for Housing: Course Description
The goal of this course is to teach students to build a housing project using shape computation as design methodology. The 'Architectural Design Workshops: Computational Design for Housing' OpenCourseWare covers topics including shape grammar, spatial transformation, derivations and shape rules. Projects can be completed by using interactive design software for designing and sharing applications. No previous specific software experience is necessary for this course. This free undergraduate-level OpenCourseWare from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is taught by Professor Terry Knight.
Course materials include downloadable lecture notes, several assignments with solutions and a final review guide. To learn more, visit the computational design and architecture course page.
