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.

What is interesting about this bench is that it does not only peel away from the wall but also from the floor, joining the perpendicular plains with a smooth, flowing object. The object is then shaped into what it needs to be, a bench. Its is also interesting how a solid object looks as though its is a soft fabric. This is always interesting in architecture, where a material is treated unconventionally suggesting another material with its form, for example, a curving brick wall.
