"Coding Architecture I-II" is a programming class for architects with particular focus on demystifying technology - both software and hardware - and exploring the programmability of our world through powerful methods of digital, computational, and algorithmic design. This course welcomes students from all backgrounds, as no prior coding experience is required.

"Coding Architecture II" is a programming class for architects with particular focus on demystifying technology and exploring the programmability of our world through powerful methods of digital, computational, and algorithmic design and fabrication.In the spring semester, we dive into digital timber using the compas_timber library to design reciprocal frame structures and materialize them.

This PhD-level course begins with an overview of the COMPAS framework basics, and then introduces digital fabrication methods and tools based on it. Students learn fundamentals of robotics, robot kinematics and planning, and basics of robot control applied in the domain of architecture and digital fabrication using the COMPAS and COMPAS FAB framework and open source tools.
