Advanced Technologies KDA716
Introduction
Advanced Technologies investigates the implications of emerging shifts within the Architecture Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry that foster the technological transformation of design workflows, computational processes, material engagement, environmental performance, fabrication tools, and construction methodologies. Through research, case studies, and hypothetical projects you will develop a series of façade-based building components and construction details that embody notions of environmental performance. Working in the context of complex medium-to-large scale buildings, you will develop capacity within digital design tools that will be employed within the conceptualisation, development, iteration and detailing of building elements.
