Model Making and Digital Fabrication

What Will Learn?

  • Course Aims
    The aim of this course is to enable students to expand their knowledge of model development and digital fabrication techniques, emphasizing the conceptual, generative, and illustrational aspects of architectural models. Students will gain proficiency in both physical and digital forms of modeling, exploring various materials and techniques. Through hands-on experience, they will cultivate material sensitivity and develop an understanding of sophisticated digital manufacturing processes. Ultimately, the course aims to empower students to effectively communicate architectural design concepts at multiple scales through the creation of compelling physical and digital artifacts.
  • Course Goals
  • Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
  • Sustainable Cities and Communities

Description

  • English Description

    This course expands on the fundamentals of model development and exposes students to various modeling techniques and materials. Students emphasize the model's conceptual, generative, and illustrational capacity to communicate design concepts at several scales. This subject's concept of the model is expansive, and the curriculum may cover models in both their physical and digital forms, with an emphasis on the production of physical artifacts. Students cultivate a material sensitivity that reveals the tactile, visual, and structural possibilities of any selected material. The course investigates additive, subtractive, and casting modeling processes with a variety of materials. Students enhance their previous understanding of the software to include sophisticated digital manufacturing processes, such as milling, rapid prototyping, and laser cutting, where applicable.
