Aims and objectives

Students will gain proficiency with explorative and iterative design processes through advanced physical and digital prototyping techniques. Students will be guided through aspects of coding, computational modeling and fabrication. Through their own design research projects, they will further identify and explore the creative opportunities and possibilities for craft formation in manufacturing processes and material systems, and in synthesising the physical and digital ways of making and doing.

Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:
1. Analyse and evaluate digital fabrication workflows.
2. Demonstrate proficiency with coding, computational modeling and digital and manual fabrication methods and technologies.
3. Explore and develop design through creative research using iterative making processes.
4. Evaluate and apply prototyping processes, techniques, and approaches to produce iterations which address questions of performance and materiality.
