ARC2023H: Design Technology 2

This course introduces students to computational design methods rooted in the notion of environmental performance and learning from data. ARC2023 expands on ARC1022 by introducing new methods of computational analysis, data management, and visualization for architectural decision making. As contemporary architects manage more of their environmental (and structural, signage, emergency, HVAC, etc.) portfolio, these skills are complimentary to the creation of holistically performing works of architecture.Students will use geospatial information system (GIS) software, daylighting, and thermal environmental simulations to computationally assess the performance of designs, using these tools to develop new geometries and systems for architectural design.

Traditional Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
