Course contents :
|
| _ Mathematics and genesis of the shape, the none Euclidian geometries, the 4th dimension, the complex geometrical shapes, the fractals....
Brief history of the influence of the mathematical sciences on the Fine arts and the architecture in particular, modern and contemporary period.
_ A customized software or the " line of command" as tool of creation of the architectural forms. Approached softwares, 3DStudio and Sketchup.
_ The drawing of fractals, the creation by iteration.
_ The transfer of the forms drawn in a software specialy designed for architecture, ArchiCad in particular. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| This course will offer students the opportunity to study the mathematical theories underpinning research into the creation of architectural space and form. There will be an introduction to the specific programming language used in modelling software designed to generate and control complex 3-dimensional geometric forms. Students will learn how to use architectural software with a view to creating complex geometric forms. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
