This course is part of the practice orientated teaching trajectory ‘Contextualising’ combining Stream 3: Smart and Ubiquitous Cities and Stream 4: Responsive Environments.
This is the first of three intensive courses running for five weeks in Year 2 Semester 2.
The first course BCSD2250 – Advanced Digital Fabrication, BCSD2230 – Urban Interaction Design and BCSD2270 – Design Information Management.
The course will introduce students to advanced manufacturing by introducing further tools and software skills that enable the production of state of the art digital fabricated building components. Advanced digital fabrication investigates how digital fabrication from an often art and temporary context could be used and applied in everyday projects. Students will collaborate closely with local builders and small-scale architecture firms to deliver outcomes that address the housing and manufacturing crisis in Australia. Theories and project themes will be developed around the two stream interests Stream 5: Digital Fabrication and Construction and Stream 6: Gaming and Visual Representation, with a specific focus on the decision making process of human and computational agents within the constructed environment.
