Introduction _________Objectives_________ Generative Design Computing is a course in advanced computation that exposes students to parametric modeling and operates within a design/research framework that does not differentiate between concept and practice. To be more clear, this is not a software class, it is a graduate design/research seminar that happens to make use of a specific software. Students will learn about diagramming and graphically representing ideas as a means to develop complex geometric relationships and parametric associativity. ________Course_Format_______ The course has been broken into two general groups that attempt to link the research content directly to design potential raised by the software. Skills based exercises makeup the first half, then a design/research project completes the semester. Each part will include readings, discussion, in-class tutorials and presentations, and a series of exercises that will add to the discussion. __________Software__________ ARCH 591 will be using Digital Project developed by Gehry Technologies.
