ARCH 1610 Design Making: Introduction to Digital Fabrication
Course description
The use of digitally driven fabrication tools constitutes an important skill set for future designers, engineers, artists, and architects. Rooted in the emergence of fab-labs and maker culture, this three-week course introduces students to the fundamentals of digital fabrication. Students will become familiar with 3D modeling, parametric design, and fabrication software through a series of hands-on workshops and tutorials. Students will fabricate their design explorations using laser cutters, 3D printers, and robotic CNC machines in Cornell AAP’s state-of-the-art fabrication shop.
This course may be counted as a free department elective toward the B.Arch degree. It may also be used to satisfy a requirement for the architecture minor.
