Course Aims | ||||||||||
This course will explore specific form-finding and modularization strategies in structural design, utilizing physical and digital modeling techniques, but focusing more on the relationship between structural form and generative logic. With the continuous innovation of interactive design and simulation tools, we can study the interaction of boundary conditions, external loads, geometry, and internal forces, and better understand the laws of complex shape generation. The so-called complex form, the logical structure hidden under its appearance is the core part. This course will focus on the strategic research of generating complex forms, guide students to start from simple rules, continuously deepen the algorithm, add details, and finally complete the design and model production of parametric structures, as well as a series of design deliberation products. | ||||||||||
