Computer-aided geometric design (CAGD) plays a central role in current theory and practice of architecture. This unit investigates the theoretical and practical knowledge underlying the use of parametric modelling in architecture. Candidates will undertake three assignments on selected topics in mathematical and geometric description as well as a spatial and design perspective. A major project-based assignment investigates documenting and presenting parametric modelling principles of a building. Basic mathematics, some prior 3D modelling experience and scripting experience is encouraged. Students are also taught to create parametric models and examine how this type of modelling impacts on... -- Course Website
