- This program is for students who are interested in exploring the ways in
- which advances in science, technology, theory and criticism are
- extending the range of the possible in the conception, production,
- execution and inhabitation of architecture. Emphasis is on pure rather
- than applied research, but this is advanced primarily through empirical
- and production-oriented methods, that is, through the experimentation
- with, the simulation, production, and testing of works such as drawings,
- models, prototypes, environments, performances, computer programs,
- etc., as well as their documentation. The aim of the program in
- Advanced Design Research is to anticipate and encourage developments
- in architectural theory and practice, to advance the body of
- architectural knowledge, and to produce researchers, artists, and
- practitioners capable of facing the challenges of an information era.
-
- Topics of study that students may pursue include:
-
- Computation and Composition;
- Music and Architecture;
- Shape Grammars and Other Formal Systems;
- Algorithmic Aesthetics;
- Art, Architecture and Technology;
- The Architecture of Cyberspace and Virtual Worlds;
- Embodied Virtuality;
- Intelligent Agents and Systems;
- Multi-Media(ted) Spaces;
- Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems in Design;
- Architecture and Artificial Life (Generative Methods);
- Architecture and Complexity;
- Advances in Architectural Visualization;
- Implications of Advances in Science and Technology;
- The Poetics of New Technologies.
