Architectural Machines

Seminar - BSc./MSc.


Class

Physical Computing is the art of programming electronic hardware such as motors, sensors and lights to build programmable machines and contraptions.

For architects this offers a way to creatively engage with technology to design, build and alter space.

The seminar is oriented towards physical computing beginners with small or zero experience. It aims at building small programmable machines that can draw or build.

Participants will learn how to build such machines, including skills such as programming, tinkering with mechanisms, generating beautiful drawings and building stunning structures.
