Digital Design Fabrication Group

4.500 - Introduction to Design Computing

4.501 - Architectural Construction and Computation

4.510 - Digital Design Fabrication

4.511 - Digital Design Fabrication Workshop

There are both graduate and undergraduate level courses in the department of architecture focused on the relationship of design and digital fabrication. Students learn various aspects of advanced computing from curved surface modeling to parametric modeling and computer programming. Advanced computational learning will lead advanced applications in digital fabrication ultimately leading to research topics and projects. Courses are focused on teaching design process in architecture using digital fabrication. Students use 3 to 7 rapid prototyping and CAD CAM machines in any given course.
