Communication models in architecture. Theoretical and historical aspects of digital design. Rethinking architectural representation and communication models in relation to digital design theories and practices. Different modes and techniques of communication in digital design.

Course Objectives

This course enable students to understand is to understand and explore the relationship between communication models, and theoretical and technological developments specifically focusing on digital design. The course aims to map the current limits of architectural representation considering the transformations in communication models. Examining the theories and techniques of communication through the experimentation of different media also enable the students to restage the fundamentals of representation in architecture.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 

1. Explain the theoretical and historical aspects of digital design,

2. Describe the prominent concepts, approaches, and practices of communication and representation, 

3. Recognize different techniques and media of architectural representation, 

4. Analyze different communication models to comment on their transformation,

5. Develop a project that incorporates the relationship between communication, visualization, and representation in digital design.
