Lehrveranstaltungsinhalte:

Generative Design is a rule-based process in which mechanical devices, biological processes, computer programs, or other systems are used to generate designs. Algorithmic processes replace manual intervention. The creative effort lies in designing and implementing the rule sets, as well as evaluating the results. The historical background and pi-oneers of generative form creation (Buckminster Fuller, Otto Frei, and others) will be introduced in the introductory lecture block, followed by a brainstorming session where a shared vision is defined. The central part of the course is a multi-day workshop: over two or three intensive days, we will focus on the collaborative exploration of generative forms. Analog experiments will be conducted and translated into digital reproductions. Programming languages opti-mized for generative design in a live performance context will also be used, allowing new approaches even for those without prior programming experience. All participants contribute their unique skills to a multidisciplinary exploration of the subject. The intensive interpersonal collaboration during the workshop leads to new ideas and approaches, which will manifest in finished generative designs that will also be translated into sound forms. In the final part of the course, the results will be documented and presented.

Lernergebnis:

Students are able to: * acquire historical knowledge about programmed art and programmed design. * recreate significant milestones of generative form development using analog generative mechanisms (pendulums, soap bubble frames, etc.). * learn how to design such mechanisms themselves and build prototypes of them. * understand that there are IDEs and programming languages optimized for the specific requirements of generative design. * improve their ability to work in interdisciplinary teams.
