  3. Class 17 A: Lecture - CAD System Application & Development for Design Research and Project

    6月20日

    Class 17 A: Lecture - CAD System Application & Development for Design Research and Project

    The sources discuss the development of CAD software, emphasizing its role as a "software revolution" that transforms theoretical knowledge into executable and distributable systems for design and research. They highlight the fundamental differences between traditional design iteration and the methodical, step-by-step approach of software development, stressing the importance of structured architecture using concepts like front-end/back-end distinctions and the MVC (Model-View-Controller) design pattern. The lectures also explore object-oriented programming (OOP) for building hierarchical geometric data, the significance of rendering engines and performance optimization (including GPU-based parallel processing), and the crucial role of UI/UX principles in creating effective and user-friendly software. Ultimately, the material frames software development as a process of defining states, relationships, and rules to codify complex design processes, with a concluding motivational message about problem-solving and persistence. https://namjulee.github.io/njs-lab-public/work?id=2025-introductionToDesignComputation

  4. Class 16 A: Lecture - Design visualization

    6月18日

    Class 16 A: Lecture - Design visualization

    These sources provide an extensive overview of design visualization, encompassing its broad definition and practical applications in fields like architectural and product design. The lectures and accompanying document emphasize the technical principles behind creating visuals, including rendering processes, camera techniques, lighting, and post-production. Significant attention is given to animation and simulation methods for depicting movement and processes, alongside numerous real-world examples of commercial, artistic, and research-based visualization projects. Ultimately, the materials highlight that effective design visualization goes beyond mere presentation, focusing on conveying meaning and facilitating understanding through various visual strategies and a blend of technical skill and artistic vision. https://namjulee.github.io/njs-lab-public/work?id=2025-introductionToDesignComputation

  5. Class 15 A: Lecture - Digital Mapping & GIS for visualization

    6月16日

    Class 15 A: Lecture - Digital Mapping & GIS for visualization

    This lecture is about digital mapping and GIS for visualization, discussing how these tools are crucial for various design fields like architecture and urban planning. The lecture covers data types like vector and raster data, file formats such as GeoJSON and Shapefiles, and common GIS operations like buffering and dissolving. It emphasizes how mapping helps to uncover insights from data and explores different projection methods and visualization techniques, including animation and interactive maps, using various libraries and tools. The material also provides code examples and resources for practical application of these concepts. https://namjulee.github.io/njs-lab-public/work?id=2025-introductionToDesignComputation

  6. Class 14 A: Lecture - Data visualization

    6月13日

    Class 14 A: Lecture - Data visualization

    This lecture consists of excerpts from two video lectures and a related briefing document focusing on the topic of data visualization within a design context. The lectures emphasize that data requires visualization to be understood by humans, serving both for analysis to uncover patterns and for communication to convey insights effectively. They outline a three-stage process: recording, analyzing, and communicating data visually, highlighting the distinct strengths of human visual perception and computer calculation in this process. The materials also discuss principles for creating effective visualizations, including maintaining graphical integrity and considering human cognitive limitations through techniques like chunking and appropriate scaling, while also addressing the potential for bias and the importance of interaction with data in modern visualization. https://namjulee.github.io/njs-lab-public/work?id=2025-introductionToDesignComputation

  7. Class 13 A: Lecture - Dynamics & Agent System

    6月11日

    Class 13 A: Lecture - Dynamics & Agent System

    These sources, a lecture series and accompanying briefing documents, provide an overview of Dynamics and Agent Systems within the context of Data in Design, building on foundational concepts like geometry and algorithms. They explain how dynamic systems, which account for time-dependent states, and agent systems, which model the behaviors and interactions of individual components within an environment, offer powerful approaches for tackling complex design challenges. Spring models and particle systems are highlighted as core examples of dynamic simulation, while the Flocking/Boids algorithm illustrates collective agent behavior. The lectures strongly emphasize the necessity of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) for structuring these systems and the importance of hands-on coding for practical understanding, concluding that formulating design problems in a computationally solvable way is key to leveraging these methods for generating emergent and interactive designs. https://namjulee.github.io/njs-lab-public/work?id=2025-introductionToDesignComputation

  8. Class 12 B: Lecture - Design Algorithm & Optimization

    6月8日

    Class 12 B: Lecture - Design Algorithm & Optimization

    These sources, primarily drawn from a lecture on design algorithms and optimization, introduce algorithmic thinking as a method for tackling design challenges. They discuss bottom-up approaches that build from foundational data structures and algorithms, contrasting them with top-down approaches that start with the design problem itself. The lecture explains both deterministic algorithms, which yield consistent results, and stochastic methods, which incorporate randomness, as valuable tools for finding optimal or best solutions. Crucially, the sources emphasize the need for quantifiable metrics and objective functions to evaluate and optimize designs, illustrating these concepts through real-world examples and the notion of the Pareto front, which defines the boundary of optimal design parameters. https://namjulee.github.io/njs-lab-public/work?id=2025-introductionToDesignComputation
