FADA 211 - Digital Communication I |
||||
| Co-requisites | None | ||||
| Expected Prior Knowledge | Basic modelling, basic digital representation tool usage | ||||
| Registration Restrictions | Only Undergraduate Students | ||||
| Overall Educational Objective | To learn to bring architectural representation techniques into the computer realm | ||||
| Course Description | The course focuses on advanced 3D modeling, parametric design tools and advanced digital representation techniques in architectural and interior design. It uses previous basic 3d modelling and representation learnings from FADA 211 course as basis to improve. For this purpose, Rhinoceros 5 is used as a 3D modeling tool together with Grasshopper plugin as a parametric design tool. Different media types are introduced to enrich representation techniques and express the potential of architectural design through various programs: Adobe Premiere for video and motion editing, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for image manipulation and diagramming and Adobe Indesign for layouts are used. The application of the techniques will be explicit within a digital premise, which include image manipulation, diagrams and modeling. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) understand the powerful role of digital communication techniques for architectural representation; 2) represent the existing environment by diagrams, mappings, modeling, rendering and graphic presentation qualitatively and quantitatively; 3) express ideas by means of digital graphical methods; 4) use parametric design tools; 5) use renderings and graphic visualization in the digital medium by means of hybrid representations. |

| Teaching Methods | In-class applications, Assignments and student presentations related with different programs and skills. The methodology unfolds the use of Digital Communication to a conceptual manipulation design should engage from the earliest stages of the design process. Through the use of technical drafting and modeling techniques, digital communication also studies rendering and post-processing phase of image and graphic presentation. Across an array of visual representations that include but are not limited to modeling, drafting rendering and graphic design the methods describe the conveyance of ideas and information in forms that can be read or looked upon. | |||||||||||||||
