Advanced Technologies KDA716
Launceston
Introduction
Advanced Technologies investigates emerging modes of architecture that leverage the application of digital tools within design workflows to engage material, fabrication, construction, and sustainability criteria. Working in the context of a complex medium-to-large scale buildings, a series of small schematic prototypes will be explored at the resolutions of structure, façade, and environmental performance.
You will be introduced to the contexts in which the traditional roles of architects and consultants are being challenged by technological shifts brought about by the 4th Industrial Revolution. An understanding of emerging methods of environmentally responsive design will be gained in the context of performance-based frameworks.
