Computational Design and Construction

Fall 2018 | University of Virginia
ARCH 5500-003: Special Topics in Architecture
Ehsan Baharlou, Dr.-Ing.

Introduction to Computational Design and Construction “The manifest form—that which appears—is the result of a computational interaction between internal rules and external (morphogenetic) pressures that, themselves, originate in other adjacent forms (ecology). The...
