DESCRIPTION:<\/strong><\/p>

This technical seminar introduces students to computational design tools that facilitate movement between physics-based simulation and material prototyping.\u00a0 Students will become familiar with the possibilities of these tools via exercises in parametric modeling, used here as a method to predetermine geometric and numeric relationships between constraints and forces as a way to discover formal variety. Skill-building exercises and in-class workshops will occur prior to research projects. Students will be asked to engage in physical prototyping and testing through both manual and digital fabrication; an essential process in understanding material properties that will ultimately inform on-screen design and production.\u00a0<\/p>

Of particular interest is Robert Le Ricolais\u2019 concept of isomorphic systems, suggesting that surface structures have a skeletal equivalent (and vice-versa) which exactly correspond in form and relations. To study this concept, we\u2019ll begin by simulating the bending of wooden sheets to harness the material\u2019s potential energy when under stress, as a strategy to produce stable and geometrically complex surface assemblies. To follow, we\u2019ll invert the forms discovered from bending sheets into linear materials only to combine the two systems in an attempt to discover a hybrid bending-active surface structure. It is expected that individual skill-building early in the term will contribute to a series of prototypes completed as a team effort.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
