Designing Material Microstructures for Performance-Driven Architecture.
This course explores performance-based computational design with a focus on material microstructure and its impact on architectural performance. Students will delve into the Interscalable Material Microstructure Organization in Performance-based Computational Design (I2MO_PCD) methodology, learning how to integrate material properties with architectural geometry, performance criteria, and fabrication processes. Through stages of material identification, computational design, and performance simulation, learners gain expertise in creating materials with optimized properties for structural, thermal, acoustic, and solar performance. Ideal for architects, designers, and material scientists, this course enables participants to leverage microstructural organization to develop sustainable, high-performance materials.
