Unit-5

Seeking new design possibilities through both theoretical and design based speculations, the studio explores the potential that digital technologies have in re-informing the designer’s repertoire and envisioning our living environment. The unit intends to investigate, invent, re-invent and in that way innovate in the architectural production. Notions of material fabrication, production processes, self-sufficiency, infrastructures risen in/out of crisis are defined through experimentation towards a positive environmental and social impact. A series of computational workshops will support students to develop a design toolbox and communications skills based on generative and associative modelling techniques, digital fabrication and material experimentation.
