Content
The aim of this course is to apply caad tools to design problem solving. By creating solutions to a given task, the course explores the use of the computer in different phases of the design, from analysis to presentation. Even at the stage of the analysis, network and the multimedia possibilities are important. Interactive design evolves from interactive 2d sketching, scanning, image processing, and 3d Modeling. Plotting, rendering, animation, and rapid prototyping are the main focus in the area of presentation. This course does not overlap with the diploma elective caad computer-aided architectural design, but instead, it demonstrates a deepened application of the principles involved in design. The students do need knowledge of the basic principles, which they can acquire during the winter semester course, caad computer-aided architectural design.
