The design studio 'Flying Bricks' was held during the summer semester 2015. Its main objective was to redesign an existing building with the use of facing bricks algorithmically, utilizing algorithmic thinking and programming as a means for form generation. The purpose of having students express their designs in terms of code was to emphasize probl...

In this short report we describe some of the challenges faced in the delivery stage of the content-focused language curriculum we have jointly developed with colleagues at Konan University and the Hirao School of Management (CUBE), and we outline strategies for addressing those challenges. Specifically, we explore how the balance between language a...

... The position of a voxel (grid point) implicitly results from its relation to the other voxels. The process of voxelization is based on the decomposition of the geometry (stored in the "source" data format) into individual, continuously smaller triangles (Lorenz et al. 2015, Lorenz et al. 2016. A division algorithm decomposes each triangle until no cell of the world can be placed within the area of the remaining triangle. ...
The rezoning process primarily deals with proposed changes on land-use and zoning plans. More and more often, the public is asked for its opinion and feedback. However, there are two main obstacles in today's practice: On the one hand land-use and zoning plans, in general, only define the potential of areas and so do proposed draft plans; they usually say nothing about the implementation of land-use in the built space. On the other hand, the untrained majority can hardly grasp the current form of representation as two dimensional plans with accompanying written information. In order to enable a wider public participation (and understanding), the authors present FLÄVIZ, a 3D visualization of potentials on land-use and zoning plans.

... (cf Kepczynska-Walczak 2013). In this regard, the author would agree with Lorenz and Wurzer (2016) who observed that from the very beginning of the design process students tend to have an almost finished picture -or at least a sketch -of their design ready in mind. Even this picture may change during the process of analysis and/or design, an interim result is present. ...
The city of Lodz is bidding for hosting International EXPO in 2022. The proposed theme is "City Re:Invented''. The paper presents the EXPO project experiment conducted at Lodz University of Technology in cooperation with Lodz City Council. The idea was to prepare design proposals for promotional purposes, first in the form of computer visualisations, then as physical scale mock-ups produced in a digital fabrication laboratory. It is planned that the best solutions would be adopted and built in 1:1 scale if Lodz received a nomination. The results of the project are illustrated in the paper by selected examples. The main aim of this study is to examine computational thinking as a design medium. The paper presents background studies in this regard. It also looks into the approach to articulate digital fabrication and robotics as not merely the methods of delivery of a final product but their role in a design process. It deliberates pros and cons of computational design and its influence on creativity. It concludes with a statement that computation may help to construct, reveal, enhance and develop logic in a creation process.
