| Abstract |
As a lot of programs specialized for various purposes come out, digital models are replacing the role of physical models as design media. Digital model plays a central role in the building design process, so the education of digital modeling needs to be designed considering its potential and features. Still, however, in a lot of educational environments, students are provided with focused on acquiring functions of a particular software, which makes them imitating a way of traditional modeling. As a result, students waste time and effort producing digital models of only-once nature, rigidity, and integration, which are opposed to the main features of the digital model including multi-purpose, dynamic, and reusability. Therefore, the systematic methodology is needed to help students understand the principles and utilities of digital modeling and apply them to their design. This research aims at proposing a pedagogic process of digital modeling for performance-oriented design. The research introduces the continuity model of basic design coursework to form a pedagogic model for digital modeling. While experiencing a series of projects including Lampshade, Waffle-structured chair, and Voronoi mass, students understand the concept of form-finding, performance-oriented design, and digital fabrication. |
