Bachelor of Computational Design (Honours)


Course Details

Computational Design combines architecture and design, and computer science and engineering to the way design content are imagined, created, fabricated, delivered and displayed. Advancements in 3D modelling, material science and digital fabrication have created a demand for designers who can use these technologies and unleash the power of computers to produce and present technical and aesthetic solutions to the challenges in the built environment. During this degree you'll be empowered with a new understanding of digital technologies and their application within the built environment, spanning architecture, construction, industrial design and urban planning. You'll learn cutting-edge computer design skills and digital technologies including: 3D modelling through the use of gaming and graphics technology, digital geometry and parametric design, responsive environments, as well as form making and fabrication using 3D printers and laser cutters.
