Digital Design + Production : Data Design
Increasingly digital data is being used to represent much of the world that surrounds us.
Digital simulation and analysis tools are becoming increasingly accessible to designers, and can provide massive amounts of data for such issues as:
- Structure,
- Lighting,
- Shading,
- Acoustics,
- Thermal properties,
- Energy use,
- Wind and airflow,
- Circulation
- View |

Data:Design will examine how this data can be accessed by designers, how it can assist in design, and how it can be used in to drive fabrication machines for architecture. The goal of this UE course is for students to develop digital skills in CAD and CAM and to build mock-ups of designs that have been generated from data.
The flow of data progresses through every stage of a design, and does not stop in the studio. Once a design is ready for production the data is transformed into the production instruction for fabrication. New digital production machines use modified design data to automatically output the final physical product.
The contiguous use of the design data for analysis, design development, refinement, prototyping, and final production is often referred to as the “digital chain”. Data:Design as a course will follow digital chain from idea though to production, by investigating the underlying data sets, and by understanding the relationships between the processes of design and production.
