How architects see and imagine the world is largely dependent on how we describe it through visual means. In turn, visual description necessarily involves translation within some mode of representation. Inevitably some things get lost in translation. But we exchange this loss for a gain through projection. In order for architects to achieve this in a sophisticated manner, we need to employ a rigorous set of techniques as well as an active, yet disciplined, imagination. This course will expose students to the power of computation within a focused technical and theoretical framework. The goal is to provide incoming students with the level of digital
skills and visual thin
