SYLLABUS
CATALOG DESCRIPTION
This course will explore computer modeling in architecture and landscape architecture.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, students will have a comprehension of digitalmodeling techniques in architecture. Covering both compositional and generativemodeling techniques, this course will give students the tools to use computermodeling for both compositional representations and design development.
Laptops are required for this course.Required text:Maya 2008 at a Glance, AutoDesk Press (this can be found on Amazon for approximately $20).

Class Participation (attendance/completion of assigned tutorials): 40%
House Project 15%
Surface Project 15%
Final 30%
CLASS STANDARDS
