The courses “Computational Design III and IV” focus on exploring digital architectural culture. They examine the central question of how digital methods and strategies can be used creatively and purposefully, as well as consciously and critically, in the design process in order to have a sustainable impact on building culture.

The courses “Computational Design III and IV” focus on exploring the theories and cultures of the digital in architecture. They examine the central question of how digital methods and strategies can be used creatively and purposefully, as well as consciously and critically, in the design process in order to have a sustainable impact on building culture.

Focus works are executed in the fields of expertise of the institures of D-ARCH. The content can be proposed by the students; it will be set bey the professors of the institutes in consultation with the students. The content of a focus work can refer to an elective course or be freely chosen.

This course will present methods of scientific machine and deep learning (ML / DL) for applications in design and construction. After providing proper background on ML and the scientific ML (SciML) track, several applications of SciML together with their computational implementation during the design and construction process of the built environment are examined.
