Course List
| Term | Winter 2010 |
| Class | ARCH 421 |
| Class Title | Geometric Modeling |
| Description | This course approaches three-dimensional digital modeling as a core competency in architecture. Emphasis is on measure and construction. A series of short creative exercises explores such individual methods as orthographic sweeps, constructive solids, lofted spline surfaces, proportional derivations, and embedded assemblies, as well as the projection and visualization of resulting forms. A longer documentary exercise introduces practices for managing the degree of hierarchy, precision, abstraction and organization within a more detailed model. From this general base, subsequent courses provide opportunities to advance in such specialties as digital fabrication, information design and generative algorithms. |
