Arc233, Introduction to Digital Fabrication

Project: Patterning & Contouring for Complex Model Assembly

Students: Alina Sebastian, Samrakshana Suresh, Mehiar Bitari

​

Outcomes:

These projects work with the documentation of processes and concepts of biological patterning.  Students locate and analyze biological forms, then pattern and model the critical components with ideas of a larger architectural system in mind. A large surface is constructed and then made physical with additive and subtractive manufacturing processes in digital fabrication.

​

Introduces the concepts, tools, and methods used in digital fabrication practices. Covers the fundamental skills necessary for exploring the role of digital fabrication tools in architecture. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to: 

​

1. Utilize basic fabrication methodologies to generate material assemblies.

2. Plan and implement a workflow for translating digital information into 3- dimensional physical construction. 

3. Employ fundamental techniques of computer-aided design, digital modeling, and digital fabrication to develop and communicate design ideas. 

4. Engage in critical self-reflection in order to evaluate the design process and its results.
