University Expert in Advanced Computation for Environmental and Structural Design
Presentation
The University Expert program in Advanced Computation for Environmental and Structural Design phase focuses on a design paradigm that is informed by environmental analysis and strategies for structural optimization. Across this phase, students will receive the most advanced knowledge on the latest software developments and tools for environmental simulation and structural optimization at every scale of the design workflow: from building to urban scale.During this module students will receive education on the latest digital software and tools for environmental simulation at the scale of buildings, neighborhoods, and the urban scale. Special plug-ins will be introduced for Rhino and Grasshopper software, such as Ladybug as well as Computer Fluid Dynamic (CFD) software to study Building Physics and to develop context-specific environmental analysis. Additionally, the tools used will be applied for design optimization from the early stages of design. Throughout the programme, students will also be introduced to the broader theoretical and research context of digital tools for environmental design.
The programme offers a real-class virtual environment, based on a continuous, interactive and collaborative learning process. Students can choose to follow the program in Synchronous or Asynchronous format, according to their time-zone or their personal schedule, and based on tutorials and lectures + mentoring group sessions.
The University Expert program in Advanced Computation for Environmental and Structural Design is the first module of the Master in Advanced Computation for Architecture & Design.
