This studio aims to familiarize students with the generative approach in the design process and allow them to explore opportunities for creating novel cyber–human systems for the design and/or fabrication of a physical space.

Outcome 1: This studio aims to familiarize students with the generative approach in the design process and allow them to explore opportunities for creating novel cyber–human systems for the design and/or fabrication of a physical space.

Outcome 2: To comprehend principles and methods in the field of generative design, and identify opportunities of generative tools for human-centered design.

Outcome 3: To develop the practical skills to design and fabricate a prototype that is not achievable by a human or a computer/machine working alone.

Outcome 4: To apply effective and accurate visual representation, clear and concise verbal presentation, and an articulate written argument in communication.

Outcome 5: To demonstrate the ability to synthesize information and ideas through written and visual communication — and to critically apply this information to creative research and practice.
