Abstract

This paper presents an experimental teaching protocol for algorithmic design and a digital fabrication, addressing the cross-disciplinary domain of creative tectonics at the intersection of art, mathematics and architecture. It will present digitally fabricated prototypes that combine an algorithmic strategy (forcefields, attractors, heightmaps) and a digital fabrication strategy (contouring, intersection, triangulation). The aim is to introduce students to a cross-disciplinary approach where mathematics enable the digital morphogenesis, as well as the seamless transfer of information from design to fabrication.
