CurriculumAutodesk Architecture Curriculum 2010This project-based curriculum teaches conceptual design using three concepts-formal exploration, iterative design, and component-based systems and reinforces how to achieve design goals and utilize various modeling techniques. The curriculum will guide students through concepts and techniques based on projects and will then be used to create various iterations through parametric modeling to enhance the control of geometry. Students will utilize intelligent elements throughout an entire design project engaging them to use controls and parameters. At the end of this conceptual course, students will have a better understanding of the applicability of the many geometry types including curves, meshes, subdivision surfaces, patch surfaces, and NURBS. With this understanding they will be able to explore the many techniques within explicit and parametric modeling. |
