CAD logic III
Intro to Digital Fabrication Methods
Tutor: Karim Soliman
“Architecture continually informs and is informed by its modes of representation
and construction, perhaps never more so than now, when digital media and emerging technologies are rapidly expanding what we conceive to be formally, spatially
and materially possible. Digital fabrication, in particular, has spurred a design revolution, yielding a wealth of architecture invention and innovation”.

How Designs use digital fabrication and material techniques to calibrate between
virtual model and physical artifact is the subject of this course.
This semester, we will explore innovative fabrication techniques in architecture,
employing digital tools and technologies such as: sectioning, tessellating, folding,
contouring and forming. We will research each of these methods and find the projects that have been fabricated by these methods. We will then work in groups on
projects starting from designing and modeling up until the fabrication process.
We will use rhino + grasshopper to create these projects digitally and prepare it for
fabrication.
