The class has a theoretical focus on machine use within the process of design. Each student is expected to have completed one graduate level of design computing with a full understanding of solid modeling in CAD. Students are also expected to have completed at least one graduate design studio.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Architecture/4-510Fall-2008/CourseHome/index.htmSass, Lawrence2009-06-15T03:18:34-04:004.510en-USArchitectureStructural Engineeringboston water taxiprototypingconstruction grammarsgenerative fabricationcnc manufacturingwaterjet cuttingprintingmodelingdraftingfabricationdesign geometryassemblydigital manufacturingcamcaddesigndigital fabricationMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThis course will introduce students to architectural design and computation through the use of computer modeling, rendering and digital fabrication. The course focuses on teaching architectural design with CAD drawing, 3-D modeling, rendering and rapid prototyping. Students will be required to build computer models that will lead to a full package of architectural explorations with computers. Each semester we will explore the design process of a particular building type and building material. The course also investigates a few design processes of selected architects. The course is critical of design principles and building production methods. Student assignments are graded based on the quality of design, representation and constructability. Great design input is always encouraged.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Architecture/4-500Fall-2008/CourseHome/index.htmSass, Lawrence2009-06-15T03:18:01-04:004.500en-USArchitectureComputer Graphicsplaceexploration of spacedigital fabricationrenderingcomputer modelingarchitectural design and computationMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmGovernments at every level assume a measure of responsibility for seeking good design. Some of that responsibility is exercised directly—through the design and construction of government buildings, for example. But most changes to our environments are neither designed nor built by governments. Rather, they are the result of the actions and investments of private individuals, institutions, corporations, joint ventures, or private/public collaborations. Yet, the actions of all of these actors are affected by the design policies of government and the interventions that are undertaken to implement those policies. In this advanced graduate-level seminar we will explore new ways of thinking about urban design policy in an attempt to better understand just what government does—and what it can do effectively—in the realm of design policy.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Urban-Studies-and-Planning/11-337JSpring-2007/CourseHome/index.htmSchuster, J.
