Course Goal / Objective

To recognize the basic concepts of the digital design environment, to understand the general principles of object modeling, to learn the basic methods used for geometric modeling and visualization in systemic design, architectural design, and to develop learning strategies for data-oriented design and target-oriented use of digital tools.

Course Content

To introduce the basic concepts of the digital design environment, the general principles of object modeling will be conveyed by using Rhinoceros program and modeling in grasshopper.

Course Precondition

the course has no prerequisites
