This programme focuses on the use of the computer as an aid to developing architectural designs at the conceptual level, rather than a means of generating production information. It investigates ways of generating shape and form using forward-looking technologies, and covers both evolutionary algorithms and simulation models taken from artificial life and mathematics. The underlying theme is to make a connection between the understanding of form and space in architecture and the processes needed for its creation. This is presented as a way of approaching contemporary problems of architectural design and finding creative solutions. This programme aims to provide you with advanced computer-aided design (CAD) skills and at the same time to introduce ways of thinking about the role of the computer in architectural design beyond the current practice in offices.
