Second undergraduate design studio. Design within the context of structures, building technology, visual arts, computation and architectural history through several short design projects. Develop and present design solutions through the use of models, drawings, sketching and 3D computer modeling. Studio format with a combination of lectures and guided work.
What goes into the design of a building? Why do buildings look different from region to region? Who will use this building? Why is drawing not only fun, but important? The class will be exploring these questions through short design exercises.
Meets Tuesday–Thursday 10–12 and 2–5; Friday 12–5

Prereq: permisson of instructor
Level: H 4 units Standard A - F Grading Can be repeated for credit
The class will be in the form of a studio where students will be working on a design project using Rhino and visual basic for Rhino. Like any tool, it is the application to which a tool is deployed that measures its efficacy. Exercise and practice is required to gain ability and then demonstrate artistry. The scripting environment of Rhino is also a tool environment and is, therefore, also valid for architectural enquiry. Deliverables will be scaled prototype with configuration systems, logic of assembly, component schedule, plans, section and data relationships/diagrams.

Prereq: Permission of instructor PDF application required (see below)
Level: H 6 units Graded P/D/F Can be repeated for credit
Supplementary work on individual or group basis. Registration subject to prior arrangement for subject matter and supervision by staff.
Workshop reexamines issues of contemporary public space-making in the Da-zhi District of Taipei City. It will propose site-specific urban installations, which capture the public imagination, engage the community, examine art forms beyond sculpture, and become a catalyst for change. The projects will begin by understanding the site and the activities that occur in this district. Students will be encouraged to experiment with different methods, mediums and scales for intervention and spatial manipulation.
Submit application consisting of single PDF document: 1) Name, degree program and email address 2) statement of interest 3) 1-4 pg portfolio of sample design or related work.

Computer-based analysis techniques used as a basis for design decisions are introduced in this course, with a focus on lighting and energy. Participants will gain knowledge and practice in emerging metrics based on dynamic annual daylight simulations and in relevant analysis methods relying on different combinations of rendering, numerical data and dynamic visualizations. State-of-the art tools including Ecotect, Radiance and Daysim will be introduced and compared with a new interactive and highly visual approach for annual daylighting simulations called Lightsolve, developed at MIT. This workshop will be organized around a sequenced design project and include formal teaching and hands-on sessions and be open to students and practitioners.Qualified undergraduates welcomed.
