Design Computing and Digital Fabrication
Wentworth Institute of Technology
Department of Architecture
Spring 2010
This course will focus on designing and constructing algorithms, in both analogue and digital forms, to explore potential design solutions. Students will learn to use scripting as a tool: for solving specific problems, and for generating un/predictable results. Laser cutting and 3d printing will be the primary prototyping tools used for translating digital design information into physical models. Theoretical and pragmatic approaches will be interwoven throughout the course. Rhino will serve as the primary platform for free-form modeling, parametric modeling, scripting, and preparing fabrication geometry.

I found the covering to be the interesting part of this project. The varying colors it appears would create different types of shading with the yellow allowing more light then the blue panel. Along the bridge the lighting elements would be changing creating a different light, shadow and temperature.
ReplyDeleteThis bridge took an artistic approach that I really enjoy. The play of color and light is something that is never seen in bridges; rather it only portrays their structural abilities. This project offers influences on how the play of light can influence architectural spaces and exterior spaces and structures.
