COURSE INTRODUCTION: This design seminar provides a foundation for understanding and using of parametric design in architecture as well for other design practices and fields. Through learning the lexicon of “Parametric Design,” it’s history and development, and computational techniques students can expect to develop fundamental knowledge of the importance for designing with parametric tools. Students can expect to develop an expertise with parametric techniques to suit their own design intentions and practices. This in depth knowledge into the concepts and techniques for developing associative parametric designs and strategies is achieved through teaching the foundational through to advanced tools, techniques, and methods. By establishing the concepts and skills required to think, design, and prototype projects using associative parametric design technologies students will gain facility, precision and control for taking their designs from concept to implementation. By introducing students to these innovative methods of design thinking, construction, fabrication and assembly enabled by the advent of associative parametric technologies and by introducing them to the discourse surrounding the topic, students will gain an in depth understanding for how their work fits into a lineage of projects, cases, and technical developments for the practice of architecture and design. The course highlights issues pertaining to design description, design exploration, prototyping, digital fabrication and design delivery. Through a series of lectures, guest lectures, group presentations and individual assignments,


the course researches and discusses leading edge typologies of practice, technology and associative parametric design techniques. This design seminar provides the basic cognitive and technical skills required to understand the value and practice of associative parametric modeling, digital prototyping and fabrication and implementation of a Building Information Modeling processes. The course also provides a first glimpse into the basic understanding of associative parametric design and the intrinsic associations between geometry, material, costs, details, performance, fabrication, and the building processes supported by associative parametric design and the Building Information Modeling process. Most poignantly the design research seminar focuses on the associative parametric design model from the designers’ perspective and the transformation of architectural practice towards integrated and informed formal practices. Conceptualizing the architectural project as informing form through the advent of the associative parametric model is the driving theme of the course. Through lectures and hands on tutorials topics covered will include, BIM platforms, the historical development of CAD and BIM, the effects upon the phases from concept to implementation, the specific benefits and impacts, 3D, 4D, 5D, and 6D and the discussion of the paradigm shift in the nature of design through associative parametric design. By investigating a series of precedent projects students will gain the historical perspective of how and why the parametric design paradigm has become so influential to the architectural profession; this includes case studies on practices such as Gehry Partners, Zaha Hadid Architects, Morphosis, SOM, KPF, Foster and Partners and numerous others. The course will provide for a larger discussion of purpose of parametric design as means to develop their own approach across the pre to post rationalization spectrum.

The course aims to present the numerous packages and their differences as well as their links to analysis packages and performance-‐based design. In conjunction with lectures, guest lectures, students will develop hands on skills in the computer lab using multiple associative parametric design technologies. A small in scale and scope project will be developed by the students that is focused on informing form through these associative parametric technologies and techniques.


COURSE PROVOCATION: ‘Parametric Practices: Design Engines for Design Exploration’ The design seminar is taught through a set of provocations that includes developing a criticality towards the theory of ‘parametricism’ but as well through having to develop a design project of their own. The project requires students to conceive, model, design explore, and prototype a building system -‐massing, envelope, product or other system-‐ that exhibits a design exploration and informing of form. At the root of the provocation is the belief in the iterative nature of design and hence the need to design explore through relational and rational processes. Students will become adept and expert in seeing how to develop a solution space of possibilities and how and when variations or design intents require new models to be built. Students should be able to evaluate projects as being pre-‐rationalized or post rationalized via parametric techniques. Through exploring parametric design students will discover design solutions for articulating pluri-‐potent affects informed for prototyping, construction and the multiplicity of use. Students will be required to model and materialize a project, building systems or building forms that engender geometric intricacy, performance and continuous differentiation through informing locally specific formal systems and components. COURSE STRUCTURE: Students will gain a basic proficiency with associative parametric design software and basic computational design techniques and lexicon: ‘Design engines for Design Exploration.’ Examples of top down and bottom up and generative design strategies will be presented and discussed. Via incorporations of material and assembly constraints issues of architectural tectonic will be associatively modeled, tested and resolved. The course intentionally offers a direct link from the digital model to the prototyping and fabrication of a system and the challenges of tolerance, materiality, and assembly this brings.

The course is structured as a design research seminar which includes lectures, guest lectures, technology tutorials and two major assignments; (1) a Case Study, Analysis, and precedent project re-‐parameterization and a (2) Design Research and Prototype. The in class time will be shared between live tutorials, lectures, and desk crits and presentations. Students will be required to develop two assignments; one, a case based research and design exploration in the form of a post rationalization and analysis of an existing architectural or product precedent which is encoded parametrically and explored; and two, a design project which is associative and parametric and prototyped using 3D printing technologies and other digital fabrication tools. The design assignment asks students to design explore and then to build scaled mock-‐ups of their project and to illustrate and document the project as a design exploration with a high level of resolution and precision. Learning to model parametrically provides for an in depth understanding of level of detail, issues of material tolerance, fabrication and construction detailing, and


finally issues of performance i.e. aesthetics and patterning, programmatic, formal, and environmental. The mock up will be made through parametric extractions of constructible documents for manual, CNC, and or machine automated fabrication.

The grading of the course is based primarily on the two assignments and the hand in of ‘fully organized’ materials and a final portfolio. The work will be evaluated in terms of design logic, design description, design exploration, and finally design outcome; these categories are enumerated in each of the detailed assignment handouts. Criteria for the evaluation of student work: I. General

1. Willingness to generate ideas 2. Willingness to develop ideas 3. Willingness to respond to criticism 4. Degree of participation (attendance, group discussion, etc.) 5. Seriousness of purpose as demonstrated by hard work

II. Methodology 1. Ability to generate relevant architectural ideas within the parametric design context 2. Ability to develop ideas in a coherent fashion 3. Ability to express relevant ideas in a graphic format and model form 4. Ability to articulate and present ideas verbally

III. Project evaluation 1. Quality of intentions 2. Quality of ideas 3. Quality of formal resolutions 4. Demonstrated technical awareness 5. Completeness of project 6. Quality of presentation

The following grade weights will apply to the semester:

Attendance / Participation / Quiz 10% Assignment No. 1 Mid-‐term 30% Assignment No. 2 Final 40% Final Portfolio and Submission 20%

RETENTION OF STUDENT WORK

The course requires that students document in portfolio form all work completed during the semester. Final grades will not be given before all work from the course is submitted in CD or DVD format and as a printed and bound portfolio including photographs of the models and prototypes. A checklist is provided which must be filled out and signed. The check list indicates specifically the organization and type of files to be submitted. Please note this requirement is worth 20% of your grade and can adversely affect your final standing in the course.

COURSE POLICIES

1. Attendance: Class meets from XX:XX to XX:XX on XX. Students are expected to work in class during this period. Attendance is mandatory. Unexcused absences are not permitted and will adversely affect your grade. If you cannot attend class because of illness, injury, or some other unavoidable circumstance, please notify me before class if possible. Any student missing two (2) classes will receive a warning letter from the Student Advisor. A third absence will result in the student being asked to withdraw from the class or receive NC.

2. Preparation: Students are expected to arrive in studio fully prepared for each day’s work. This means that you have done the appropriate reading, research, and design development to keep your project moving in a forward direction. I expect you to be prepared for tutorials, desk crits, reviews and pin-‐ups by generating relevant drawings, models, etc. Beyond the usual visual material, you should be prepared to describe and defend the current state of your work.


3. Course Behavior: The design seminar is a place of active research and production. It is also a communal learning environment. This requires that each member of the design seminar be considerate of each other and work towards creating a setting for stimulating and productive activity.

4. Class Discussions: Students are expected to participate actively in all class discussions.

5. Plagiarism: USC policies regarding plagiarism are in effect. Plagiarism will result in an immediate NC for the course and potential dismissal from the school.

6. The design seminar work should engage the environment in a way that dramatically reduces or eliminates the need for fossil fuel.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY USC seeks to maintain an optimal learning environment. General principles of academic honesty include the concept of respect for the intellectual property of others, the expectation that individual work will be submitted unless otherwise allowed by an instructor, and the obligations both to protect one’s own academic work from misuse by others as well as to avoid using another’s work as one’s own. All students are expected to understand and abide by these principles. Scampus, the Student Guidebook, contains the Student Conduct Code in Section 11.00, while the recommended sanctions are located in Appendix A: http://www.usc.edu/dept/publications/SCAMPUS/gov/ Students will be referred to the Office of Student Judicial Affairs and Community Standards for further review, should there be any suspicion of academic dishonesty. The Review process can be found at: http://www.usc.edu/student-‐affairs/SJACS/ Statement for Students with Disabilities Any student requesting academic accommodations based on a disability is required to register with Disability Services and Programs (DSP) each semester. A letter of verification for approved accommodations can be obtained from DSP. Please be sure the letter is delivered to me (or to TA) as early in the semester as possible.
