Om emnet

The ACDL studio is a project studio placing a strong emphasis on computational tools as part of the design process and communication of ideas. The studio is research and practice based, with an experimental approach to environmentally-conscious architectural design, design processes and methodologies. 

Through exploratory research and design we will look at novel ways to develop the project assignment for the fall studio, a medium to large architectural structure. Central themes for the fall studio will be performance oriented; site specific climate analysis as part of the research and basis for design, - and various simulations to analyze and optimize your design for solar access, daylight factors, wind performance, structural efficiency and material utilization as part of the architectural design process.  

Associative computational modeling will be introduced, and used in an iterative manner incorporating design generation and analysis to refine the associative model that defines spatial organization, required building program and activity distribution. We will also look into how multi-objective optimization can be employed for design output generated by genetic and evolutionary algorithms, making it possible to negotiate complex performance requirements.  

The digital tools form the starting point for being able to handle complex issues, large amounts of data, scenario-based work methodology and ultimately to inform your architectural design decisions. 

Læringsutbytte

Knowledge: 

  • of the architectural and computational design themes pursued by the studio. 
  • of associative modelling. 
  • of tools for analysis and simulation relating to building performance. 
  • of successful built examples of equivalent projects. 
  • of advanced architectural visualization. 
  • of digital to physical fabrication process - digital to materialization

Skills: 

  • in utilizing associative modelling systems for architectural design. 
  • in utilizing analysis tools, simulations and advanced visualization as part of the design process. 
  • reflective thinking and evaluation as a tool for developing design ideas within the design process.

General competence: 

  • The ability to develop designs based on specific performative criteria in an integrated manner, from the conceptual stage to the material articulation through computational design. 
  • The ability to set up and follow through a design process that leads to the desired result. 
  • The ability to utilize design as a method of research in architecture that facilitates the conception of novel architectural designs.

VurderingsformGrupperingKarakterskalaKommentar
Prosjektoppgave-Bestått / ikke beståttThe students work on a given/selected project throughout the course and the
assessment is based on an assignment that counts for 100% of the grade.
The students present the final project work orally to the examiners and the oral presentation itself is included as part of the assessment.

The criterion for having the final project assessed is that compulsory exercises have been delivered.

Final project can consist of, among other things drawings (sections and plans), models, illustrations and text. Final submission requirements are detailed on Moodle.
