Course Description and Program<br />

Introduction to <strong>the</strong> course<br />

Rhino/Grasshopper (GH) tutorial<br />

In this course students analyze architectural and urban design<br />

using current computational methods. Based on <strong>the</strong>se analyses<br />

<strong>the</strong> effects <strong>of</strong> planning can be simulated and understood. An<br />

important focus <strong>of</strong> this course is <strong>the</strong> interpretation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> analysis<br />

and simulation results and <strong>the</strong> application <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se corresponding<br />

methods in early planning phases.<br />

The students learn how <strong>the</strong> design and planning <strong>of</strong> cities can<br />

be evidence based by using scientific methods. The teaching<br />

unti conveys knowledge in state-<strong>of</strong>-<strong>the</strong>-art and emerging spatial<br />

analysis and simulation methods and equip students with skills<br />

in modern s<strong>of</strong>tware systems. The course consists <strong>of</strong> lectures,<br />

associated exercises, workshops as well as <strong>of</strong> one integral project<br />

work.<br />
