Building Envelopes of the digital age, are thin yet extremely sophisticated products of design that are often overlooked and simplified to just mere attempts of aesthetic expression. Being the transitional buffer between the outside and the inside, they are the immediate elements over which the phenomena of weather are unleashed. Inferences from the climatic and contextual analysis will be used to optimize the envelopes themselves and provide appropriate comfort and sustainability responses. Contemporary Envelopes are no more restricted by bounds of manufacturing feasibility and constraints of fabrication. Novel invention in fabrication such as 3D printing, CNC, and Robotics has opened many doors for customization and adaptability.
By focusing on design, fabrication, and experiential architecture, participants can unlock their creative potential and gain valuable skills in the field. This course will provide a hands-on approach, allowing students to engage in practical projects and gain a deeper understanding of the architectural process. It’s a great opportunity for individuals interested in architecture to further their knowledge and enhance their abilities in designing and creating immersive experiences.
