Coding As Thought Process
Shajay Bhooshan

Intermediate - Autumn 2009

Open Room 2 [36.G06]
Mondays 2-5pm

 

As 'creative' code-writing and computational tools become an increasing part of the architectural repertoire, the seminar will provide, over two terms, a sound conceptual footing into the world of computation and design. The seminar will use proce55ing as an easy-to-use software platform to make this foray.
