The workshop is focused on the realization of a scale model prototype giving students the opportunity to learn digital manufacturing process. Students will acquire principles and skills on architectural and energy modeling using a parametric approach (BIM-BEM); they will discover new applications and materials in architecture, and eventually partecipate in the realization of an interactive multimedia system.
Focus & Organization This is a Design&Making Workshop, researching responsive envelopes through parametrical computation, digital prototyping and robotics.
Design activities will be delivered using state of the art digital technologies for architectural design, computational modeling and more specifically object – oriented 3D parametric modeling using graphical algorithm editors like Grosshopper for Rynhoceros, Dynamo for Revit and other parametric tools for energy evaluation.
Making activities will be the vibrant and exciting place to try, to test and to make corrections: to play with “physical” experiments using a “files to factory” approach: milling, cutting, molding, casting, assembly & wiring.
