    Course Lecturer Tomor Elezkurtaj, Dr.techn.
    Course Assistant
    Course Tutor

    This course is a general introduction to advanced design methods and will cover the following:
     - formalization of architectural structures / shape grammars,
     - transformation of the architectural design task into optimization problem
     - analysis of various optimization problems and combinatorial problems
    Aims and Objectives  - application of heuristics for problem solving

     The aim is:


     to be able to apply or to programme algorithmic methods in the architectural design process
     to be able to understand and divide complex geometric problems in elementary sub problems

    From this subject the students must achieve:

    Learning Outcomes 1. to use innovative contemporary methods / tools in architectural design


    2. Use the computer to support the creative design process
