Numerical modelling and simulation. Objective of the course is also to learn how to choose at least two different softwares used in the architectural curriculum, and learn ho to force communication between the two; this is both in importing and exporting data, but most important, also at the level of the descriptive model, which generally goes undiscussed. In particular the use of Grasshopper.

Programme
Numerical modeling and simulation. In applications, learn how to choose at least two different softwares used in the architectural curriculum, and learn ho to force communication between the two; this is both in importing and exporting data, but most important, also at the level of the descriptive model, which generally goes undiscussed.Core Documentation
Pottmann, Architectural GeometryNotes and original software given in class.
Reference Bibliography
Original papers on the Nexus Network Journal: Architecture and Mathematics Online or on Advances in Architectural Geometry.Type of delivery of the course
First part: reading course +seminar course. Every student reads a research paper published on Nexus Network Journal or on Advances in Architectural Geometry. Individual seminar with every student showing to all the others the contents and methodology of the chosen article. Second part: revision of all software used in the past with open lectures on the use of some of the software and examples on their use and implementation in projects and a final composition.Attendance
The frequency is mandatory for 75% of the lessons.Type of evaluation
Discussion of a possible application of a course subject with a final written composition and an oral presentation.
