Handbook

'This course is part of the practice oriented teaching trajectory "Contextualising" and runs codependently with CODE2250 - Advanced Digital Fabrication and CODE2270 - Building Information Management. The three courses introduce students to the 'Applied Level' of the Computational Design degree through the documentation and prototyping of an interactive small-scale pavilion. The course introduces and critiques the ethical application of robotic technologies in the built environment to facilitate natural and effective models of interaction. Students will be provided with the conceptual understanding, technical skills and working methods needed to design a computer-mediated project that effectively explores a compelling interactive spatial solution, and apply principles of physical computing and interaction design. The students performance will be evaluated with respect to their progressive work developed in preparation for or during the studio activities. Students will employ a range of verbal and multimedia communication skills to represent and deliver their research approach and prototyping results with professionalism, clarity and purpose.
