Option Explicit: Exhibition: Scripting Design Experiments
Generative computational design seamlessly bridges the Virtual - architectural representation - and the Physical - architectural production - with unprecedented accuracy. While recent advances in coding and scripting empower architects to write their own 3D software, digital fabrication feeds these designs to machines and robots. In lieu of a conventional approach to design techniques, Option Explicit: Scripting Design Experiments relates form-generating processes through a series of written codes to virtual models and physical objects. In the setting of the 272 graphic seminar parametric design and digital fabrication mutually reinforce each other; the first opening up a field of potentials, the second narrowing down possible solutions by real world constraints. By means numeric evaluation, vector computation and computer controlled fabrication students become editors of parameters, control complex geometries and, ultimately, work towards a non-standard understanding of des ign.
Exhibition in the KSA main gallery open daily 9am to 6pm March 10 - 29.
