Fall 2025What human behaviors should guide the reorganization of structural elements?
What structural principles should govern the reorganization of structural elements?
What construction details should be employed in the reorganization of structural elements?
A design course for master's students wants to answer the question.
Fall 2025
This master elective course explores parametric design and multi-objective optimization for reusing structural components. Subsequently, using Karamba3D in Grasshopper, students analyze and optimize designs to transform obsolete concrete elements into sustainable, high-performance structures.
(This is a 13-week program open to all students within the School of Architecture.)
Fall 2024
This course integrates graphic statics with Rhino, Grasshopper, and CEM software for structural modeling and analysis. Students design reusable pavilions using parametric tools and multi-objective optimization. They finalize with a 1:1 scale structural node model, blending digital design with physical construction for circular architecture.
(This is a 13-week program open to all students within the School of Architecture.)
Fall 2023
This 15-week course consists of two parts: design lectures and exercises based on graphical statics, and design work integrated with the students' design classes.
