ARC3301 · Architecture communications 3

Overview

This unit explores the principles and uses of computational workflows in architectural design and project delivery. Engaging with Building Information Modelling (BIM), Generative Systems, and Digital Fabrication, the unit introduces you to the possibilities and challenges of computational design when applied to collaborative work, information management and the development and communication of architectural ideas.
