When is the Module? [Autumn/Spring]
ARC6811 Parametric Architectural Geometry.
Dr. Tsung-Hsien Wang
“This module aims to support a better understanding of concepts and skills for architectural geometry construction using parametric modelling processes. In particular, the course emphasizes computational schemes that can assist designers in managing geometry data and propagating designs. Students will learn contemporary parametric modelling techniques for customizing generative design systems, navigating design variations, analysing design artefacts and exploring design manifestations.”
- 6 lectures/7 workshops
- Autumn Semester
- Option for MArch/MAAD/MAUD/MAAD/SAS/AED
- 2 Parametric Modeling Assignments and one � final project
British Museum
The great court
Surface Re-construction �using Mesh Relaxation
ARC6812 Building Information Modeling, Management and Analysis.
Dr. Tsung-Hsien Wang
“This module aims to introduce Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology in practice with a focus on the technical aspects of how building data, both geometric and non-geometric, are created and integrated to support processes of designing, constructing and operating buildings. Students will learn BIM techniques to construct data-enriched virtual models and formulate critical thinking in how BIM can support innovative collaboration during various design, construction and operation phases along the building life cycle”
- 8 lectures/6 workshops/1 Seminar
- Autumn Semester
- Option for MArch/MAAD/MAUD/MAAD/SAS/AED
- 2 BIM Assignments and one term project report
