Computational Design in Architecture

The module focuses on the exploration of digital tools for supporting the design and planning process in architecture and urban planning. The lecture provides theoretical knowledge and skills for the computer-aided design and planning process as well as data, BI & analytics strategies, evaluation methods, evaluation criteria and use cases for the implementation of key technologies, hardware and software solutions in the life cycle of constructions.

The lecture content is taught by the chair’s staff and enriched by experts from the industry. The contents include topics such as: Construction 4.0, BIM and UIM, visual representations and documentation, building survey, parametric and generative modelling systems, Big Data and AI, augmented and virtual reality, digitally supported model making, hardware and software interfaces, data, BI & analytics strategies for the use of digital technologies in planning processes.
