Digital Provocations (Fall 2011)

Instructor: Adam Marcus

This one-semester undergraduate design workshop focused on the techniques of parametric design.

"Parametric design tools can enable the architect to have new and unprecedented levels of control over parts of the design and fabrication process that previously were left to others. But it also requires knowledge and grounding in fields as diverse as computer programming and network theory, areas that perhaps traditionally were seen as outside the discipline but that are now central to contemporary architectural production." (A. Marcus)

Through their work students investigated how digital technologies inform design and how the practice of architecture is being transformed through these technologies.
