EPIC231 Translations: Digital Fabrication in Design (Credits:3)

The course aims to partake in the ongoing discourse about the role of fabrication for the production of design and manufacture.  More specifically it aspires to draw a connection between the advancement of design ideas and the use of techniques specific to the digital fabrication pipeline, and to posit how this coupling may further inform other areas of disciplinary research. As such, the course aims to be a research laboratory for the analysis, development and localized deployment of strategies for digital fabrication.   Topics of study include:  design/fabrication typologies, technical performance, sustainable strategies, prefabrication methodology, current and future developments in design/fabrication, among others.

Corequisites:

Prerequisite: At least 30 credits completed
