Integrating Computational Design and Research Could Stimulate New Digital Craftmanship
The Advanced Master[1] “Design by Data” in Computation Design & Robotics for Architecture and Construction was launched in 2016 and is one of the latest programs in innovative professional education at l'École des Ponts ParisTech. The program was designed to meet the increasing need of the professional sectors of architecture and engineering for combining architectural awareness and skills in creative engineering. Design by Data trains professionals to master advanced design tools (coding, generative design, machine learning) as well as digital manufacturing and design processes (robotics, 3D printing, and mechatronics) applied to architectural and construction projects. Attendees develop their knowledge of digital culture, especially advanced mathematics and computational strategies, as well as a scientific mastery of digital tools and innovative structural design, and modeling and managing complex geometries. In addition to the core curriculum, students are also trained in parametric design and participate in two week-long seminars (the first on imaging and machine learning, the second on an agent-based design approach).
