Course Objectives

Develop a basic understanding of generative design, the necessary computational knowledge and skills to creatively apply in design problems

   - This year will specifically focus on applications of generative design applied for CLIMATE ACTION and small-scale architectural issues that can be tackled at the ARCHITECTURAL SCALE. 

   - To this end, generative design concepts (morphogenesis, complexity science, data-driven design processes, nature-based solutions, parametric / algorithmic tools) will be directed towards problems related to climate change (global warming, sea level rising, water scarcity etc.)

The ability to appropriate and implement generative design paradigms in design projects creatively through algorithmic methods and tools

Gain a critical awareness of the inherent strengths and weaknesses of generative approaches while efficiently combining different methods
