IAP 2007 Activity


Computational Design Solutions: Parametric Modeling Using Digital Project
Dennis Shelden, Sameer Kashyap
Mon Jan 29 thru Thu Feb 1, 10am-05:00pm, 9-251, 9/29 starts at 9AM - software

Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Signup by: 24-Jan-2007
Limited to 15 participants.
Prereq: Knowledge of 3D modeling required.

This is a course for designers and architects who want to learn parametric modeling. The course explores design solutions using basic concepts in parametric modeling and geometric variation tools. Objectives of this course are to investigate producing digital information for digital fabrication at the desktop level, to guide designers towards reaching possible solutions using geometric variation, relational models, and dependency processes involved in design. Topics will include basic parametric 2D, surface and solid modeling, parametric relational modeling, knowledgeware and scripting.

10:00 am – 2:00 pm, with hands on practice sessions from 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
