A.4 Learning outcomes Prior to this subject I had no engagement with computational architecture. I could not understand the concepts that underlaid in the visually thrusting algorithmic aided design structures. After three weeks of researching and learning, I have essential understandings of what computational design is and how powerful it could be. It was to my surprise that all those building forms I have encountered before, are not just artistic fabrications but they are generated performatively. I love the idea of passive designs. It is amazing to design spaces in ways that are constantly creating value for itself at no on-going cost. Parametric design can generate passive systems that are more accurate, innovative and not composable in conventionally ways. I look forward discovering how computation can improve passive designing.

A.5 Appendix - Algorithmic Sketches
Using a referenced curve from rhino as a base, scaled into different sized curves by a scale tool. A graph map input as a parameter is used to modify the scaled curves under different graph types. The curves are also scaled along the x-axis to create a 3 dimensional volumn after been lofted. Above are attemps to create different curve structures that would create a shell as shelter or resting structure. 23
