| Abstract |
This study starts from a critical thinking that the meaning of digital chain may or should be redefined in order for the research in computer aided architectural design(CAAD) to situate itself within the realm of education for architecture. The meaning of digital fabrication has confused with the characteristics of the model manufacture only in a sense. Thus, we criticize the nature of digital fabrication revealed in digital chain for design education, then move to its definitions, and finally suggest a framework of education in CAAD. We analyze the example, course of ETH CAAD lab, and finally formulate the ideal and actual mythology of expansive digital chain curriculum for education. In order to the digital chain to become a new paradigm of CAAD education, we propose the optimized process for the digital chain. The means optimized is that it has high degree of freedom of design procedure in boundary digital chain accordingly it induces expansive and creative design issue for constant evolution. |
