21002142-1 - PARTE I

The main subject is Labyrinths and the study of complexity.The first part consists of a "reading course" on recent research literature in architecture and the sciences, such as from journals "Nexus-Mathematics and Architecture" and "Architectural Geometry". Possible mathematical themes shared by several papers will be dealt with in frontal lectures.
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

The first part consists of a "reading course" on recent research literature in architecture and the sciences, such as from journals "Nexus-Mathematics and Architecture" and "Architectural Geometry".
Specific modelling contents will be adapted to the specific interests and curiosity of the students.
One of the aims of the course is to learn mathematical models; such models, via parameters, always allow and facilitates a flexible interaction of different softwares, when needed. Possible mathematical themes shared by several papers will be dealt with in frontal lectures.
