Vorwort

The main objectives of this course are to provide an introduction to:

Keeping in mind the constraints of time, this course aims for breadth in the topics included and thereby provides a broad overview of the CAAD area in the shortest possible time. It should be noted that this course is not a substitute for an intensive programming course or a specialised course in CAAD; but it does provide a good basic training which will make subsequent intensive courses much easier.

Konventionen

This script is organised by lecture topics listed in the course schedule. In each Kapitel, you will find major topics described under relevant headings. Whenever you find some text that is in courier font, for example - this text is in courier font, it refers to either a programming concept or a command in AutoCAD or UNIX. Whenever you are asked to type in such text, you should type it exactly as shown. Due to a variety of factors, including the fact that UNIX is case sensitive and AutoCAD is not, no capital letters should be used for any directory or file names. Some of the lectures and exercises may be presented in English.

Aufgabenverteilung und Verdankung

Several members of the Professur for CAAD will be involved in the lectures and exercises for this course.

Ms. Sharon Refvem is responsible for the first lectures and exercises until Seminarwoche. She will help you to make the step from using a CAD program to programming it. This includes the introduction of AutoLISP and the structuring of a program. Sharon Refvem has a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Oregon, is a licensed architect in California and presently a PhD student at the Professur for CAAD.

Mr. David Kurmann will continue the course with programming concepts like iteration, recursion, and fractals, the AutoCAD datastructure, and the programming of the user interface. David Kurmann has an engineering degree in Software Development from the ETH Zürich and is currently working on an interactive design modelling software.

Ms. Maia Engeli will lead you from AutoCAD to Inventor and introduce you to programming graphics with the object oriented language C++. Maia Engeli has a Dipl.-Arch. degree from the ETH Zürich, a Masters degree in Design Studies from Harvard University and experience with graphics programming from the MIT Media Lab. Rasmus Jörgensen, a second year student, prepared all the exercises for this part of the course.

I want to thank Dr. Bharat Dave for his seminal role in the design of this course. It is the result of his knowledge and our experiences since the Wintersemester 1990/91.

Einschreibung

You can sign up for the course starting October 24th 1995 outside of room E67. In case of questions, please contact Maia Engeli, David Kurmann or Sharon Refvem at the chair for CAAD, HIL D74.3.

Testatbedingungen

There are twelve exercises. Students will receive a Testat once they have successfully completed nine exercises and the final presentation. Nachdiplom students are required to complete all twelve exercises on time for the final presentation. The final presentation will be a summary of student's course work and experiences. We encourage you to complete all assignments in the time frame given in the schedule. The latest date to hand in exercises necessary for the Testat is March 8, 1996.

PROF. DR-ING. GERHARD SCHMITT, Professur für CAAD
