The second module in the CAAD introduces a pragmatic approach to architectural design, bringing into play materiality, computation and fabrication. The day started with three lectures by Manuel Kretzer, Mathias Bernhard and Tom Pawlofsky, who gave the fundamental concepts and the main guidelines for the following four weeks. The design competition was handed over and a preliminary index of concepts was promptly composed on the floor. Basic introduction to McNeel Rhino, Rhinoscript and Grasshopper will take place the following days to provide the necessary technical background in the design process.
