Course: MAA01 25/26 After Gaudí Seminar

Deep diving into Gaudi's Algorithmic Legacy

After Gaudí: From Computation to Composition examines how Antoni Gaudí’s structurally equilibrated design strategies, developed for the Sagrada Família Basilica, anticipate contemporary computational approaches to architectural form-making. The seminar explores how geometric systems such as hyperboloids, helices, bifurcations, perforations, and perturbations enable complex yet explicable architectural compositions that balance structural logic, material efficiency, and spatial expression. Through parametric thinking and controlled variation, students investigate how small changes in geometric variables can generate rich formal, structural, and environmental outcomes, continuing Gaudí’s legacy through computation-driven design.
