4.173 Design Fabrication Workshop

Discover the significance of design systems in architecture through the lenses of Pre-Rational and Post-Rational methods. Learn how Computational Design Kit aids in shaping Atomic and Fixed Shape Systems. Dive deep into the evolution of systems within architecture, exploring specific versus general parts. Join Prof. Larry Sass from MIT's Department of Architecture and Planning for this enlightening workshop on creating comprehensive design systems that streamline the construction process resulting in feasible and innovative architectural solutions.

  1. 4.173 Design Fabrication Workshop Design Systems Prof. Larry Sass Department of Architecture and Planning MIT

  2. Systems of Design, Computation& Fabrication Create a build-able system Design System – Construction System

  3. Why are design systems important? Work Flow Design is process of explorations (Multiple Representations) Can be a Computational Program Parametric Modeling Generative Algorithms Shape Grammars

  4. Can systematic a approach be used in design? Designers create representations of an idea one idea at a time with slight differences between systems? Each statement leads to another statement or will each statement lead to a conclusion in the design process?

  5. Pre Rational Norman Foster Andrea Palladio A pre-rational system in design is a design system mapped to a shape or an organized plan.

  6. Post RationalGehry GaudiA post rational system is a shape that has been chopped into build-able sections. Each section is its own element in a larger whole.
