The seminar focuses on computational thinking and logic to design assembly/growth processes.
The seminar will focus on the computational thinking and logic to design assembly/growth processes, investigated through iterative algorithmic strategies starting from elementary spatial building blocks. The designed building blocks will be treated as basic units of computation, able to store and compute data due to their topological and spatio-geometric qualities. Assemblages are thus seen as coherent organizations able to store and process information. Starting from an initial element and position, the growth process will be driven by internal and external conditions which limit and enhance the growth structure and system qualities. The final aggregation is then investigated through the constructability and robotic automation assembly lenses filtering some key information and data that can be used for further robotic explorations.
The seminar will explore the dual geometric/topological computing nature of spatial systems, using basic iterative logics explored through Grasshopper and the Anemone plug-in.

Computational logic in iterative processes is a fundamental concept in computer science and programming. It involves using logical reasoning and decision-making within the context of loops or repeated operations. Iterative processes are commonly used to perform tasks that require the same or similar computations to be executed multiple times. Iterative processes are at the heart … Read more

The project focuses on generative assemblies comprised of multiple identical modules. It is crucial to design the shape of the components and the connection points between each of them, as well as not to add occlusions. Components will grow randomly depending on the shape as well as the location of the connection points. The design … Read more
