Parametric design workshop SP10
From TTU College of Architecture
design workshop Spring 2010
following an emerging trend in contemporary architecture subsumed under the notion "algorithmic architecture" or parametricism, a rule based logic inherent in programs is the generator of space, form in concert with materials. This is programming and a kind of codification of the design intent via scripting languages or parametrics being part of 3d software packages.
"This allows to build consistency, structure, coherency, traceability and intelligence into computerized 3d form. By using scripting languages designers can go beyond the mouse, transcending the factory set limitations of current 3d software."K.Terzidis, GSD.

wanna go to Dallas for more sessions:
@texfab: with leading architects and researchers (Bell,Fornes,Issa,Payne,Vrana). Participating students will form a group travel to the TEXFAB workshop at UT Arlington feb 5-6_2010. The weekend trip will be organized by Prof. Christian R Pongratz, and might also offer a visit to the latest architecture highlights in Dallas (Koolhaas..)
go for more info to: texfab UT Arlington
please contact the program director @ Christian_Pongratz if you are interested.
