Expeditions in Digital Technologies

We are living in the world of constant transformation. WHAT and HOW we design today will impact the future we are yet to see. It is important that we adapt, innovate and incorporate new materials, skills, and technologies to design for the present which impacts the future. The exploration and application of digital fabrication processes have opened new realms of possibilities for architectural expression. In recent times, Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques have gained momentum to explore and develop complex forms using different materials. The course intends to explore the potential of Additive Manufacturing technology (3D printing) and computational tools to evolve a design process and innovative construction methods, to develop a product/interior architecture element within a defined context. The course will equip the students with skills of coding and digital fabrication processes to design, develop, analyze, resolve and construct scaled prototypes of their element. The course will be divided into three modules - Exploration, Application, and Making with each module focusing on developing different digital, analytical, and hands-on learning skills.
