3D-Modelling, Cause and Effect

Over the past fifty years, the emergence of digital computational technologies and advancements in construction methods have equipped architects with a robust array of tools. When utilized effectively, these tools enable efficient planning and even to explore complex geometries for spatial and building problem-solving. This dynamic significantly impacts on how our modern societies shape the built environment. Therefore, expanding the skills for 3D modeling during Architecture studies is essential.

The aim of the course is to foster in the students the use of advanced 3d-Modelling as an alternative approach in the development of Architectural concepts, it provides a set of tools to understand, explore and generate complex geometries, allowing students to gain expertise not constrained it by processes of rationalization but rather by the limits of creativity and ingenuity.

Expanding the scope of geometric possibilities will provide students with valuable skills to explore innovative methods of construction and problem-solving. This approach fosters creativity and ingenuity, which are key for addressing future challenges facing architecture, such as sustainability and responsible building design.

The course will consist of lectures, one excursion (in Munich), elaboration of individual projects and elaboration of final group project.
