Design computing has evolved beyond graphic representation to become a heuristic tool. To appreciate how scripting, parametrics, and responsive systems have reframed the relationships among the designer, complex ecological systems or urban networks, and design work, participants will explore a series of current case studies.

Learning Objective

Illustrate the application of scripting and parametric design in landscape architecture.

Identify opportunities that illustration and computation provide for landscape architecture.

Review the potentials of parametic software and building information modeling to design practice.
