Course specific prerequisites


Aim

Geometry lies at the core of the architectural design process. The course aims to It introduce geometry as a tool for the design, analysis, and manufacture of complex shapes but also to be a source of inspiration for applications of geometry processing in architecture and art.

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

- describe basic concepts of geometry and architecture - apply numerical calculation methods - plan, implement and communicate an exploratory project work in geometry and architecture - design a scientific poster

Content

Geometric primitives Coordinate systems, transformations and projections Modeling of curves and surfaces Different kinds of deformations Digitization and adaptation to physical models

Organisation

The course will be organised as a series of lectures followed by project work in small groups.
