Introduction to Computational Design

This course introduces computational design approaches, methods and techniques to address several aspects of the design process. It is structured into a series of theoretical lectures complemented by practical workshops covering how computational design can support generating, analysing, optimising, and prototyping design options. The student will develop computational design skills by working on a design assignment. At the end of the course, the student will present their design process, alongside the final design outcome, to showcase how each computational design approach, method and technique informed the development of their project.

The course consists of the following topics:

  1. Parametric Modelling
  2. Performance-Based Design
  3. Design Optimisation
  4. Data and Information Models
