Course Tutors
General
This course is an introduction to modern and innovative logics of building, prototyping and implementing building systems. It re-examines standardized mass production technologies by decomposing the central logic that governs them so that it can then analyze how they are revised through modern digital fabrication applications. At the same time, it examines modern transformational logic as linked to the possibilities offered by new technological approaches.
Cource content
The course is divided into five parts:
1. Technique and technology. The transition from traditional construction to the logic of innovation. From industrial standardization to specialized application.
2. Revising the future of production: from participatory planning to remote production. Automation. Robotic media. Developments in wood, metal and stone construction reflecting technological developments.
3. Reviewing materiality: composite and hybrid materials, ‘smart’ surfaces, changing structures.
4. Prosthetic logic: 3D printing and other technologies
5. Active structures: interaction.
