The lecture introduces the most important digital tools and methods as well as their application in design, representation, and modelmaking. Examples of effective use of digital processes and interfaces in design and creation will be discussed. A particular focus lies on learning processes: How do different tools interact? What interfaces exist between them? What impact does the tool have on the design outcome? How can contemporary digital tools and methods be placed in a historical context?
In the practical exercise, participants learn to create drawings and 3D models, derive axonometric and perspective vector graphics from 3D models and illustratively edit them, grasp the principles of parametric design, and prepare data for modelmaking using digital fabrication (3D printing and laser cutting). The module thus empowers participants to understand and effectively utilize digital processes and interfaces in their design process.
