Context
The DIGITAL BUILDING DESIGN Mastère Spécialisé® - Executive Master provides attendees with a cross-disciplinary culture of computational design and comprehensive knowledge of cutting-edge technologies in the fields of parametric architecture, advanced geometry, robotics and digital manufacturing for the construction industry. The program is designed for a selected group of architects, engineers, designers and digital artists and offering a variety of courses, fabrication and prototyping workshops, conferences, digital talks and networking events. It is a real opportunity to enter an international ecosystem of architectural innovation.
Innovation in a dynamic learning environment
DIGITAL BUILIDING DESIGN has three main goals:
- Provide attendees with a solid knowledge of parametric generative design and computer aided manufacturing.
- Give students a broad set of expertise to take advantage of digital manufacturing technologies (3D printing, Robotics, CNC prototyping, etc.).
- Encourage a process-oriented approach to design based on optimization approaches and the use of environmental data in architecture.
Program strengths
- INNOVATION: the digital revolution is changing our way of using and thinking about objects and spaces: enter the world of non-standard design and evolutive architecture.
- TRANS-DISCIPLINARITY: learn how to use computation and data to drive your design in architecture, urbanism and engineering.
- EXCELLENCE: an augmented learning process based on ongoing alternation between theory, design applications and prototyping, hosted in one of the most prestigious engineering schools in the world.
- NETWORKING: embrace collaborative cultures and join an international network of architectural and engineering innovation. A strong connection between research and industry.
Skills acquired
At the end of the training, graduates will:
- have the know-how to innovate their design workflow using a computational and collaborative approach towards architecture and engineering
- have a complete understanding of tools for digital design and robotic manufacturing
- design, manage and build non-standard objects and complex geometries
