FS2015 | Information Architecture of Cities

The elective course ‘Information Architecture of Cities’ opens a holistic view on existing and new cities, with focus on Asia. The goal is to better understand the city by going beyond the physical appearance and by focusing on different representations, properties and impact factors of the urban system. As course requirement, there will be three short exercises.

      FS2015 | Creative Data Mining

      It is increasingly important to know how to work with big amounts of data - especially in such highly complex fields like architecture and urban planning. Thus participants will learn how to to create whole landscapes of designs in a semi-automatic manner.

          HS2014 | Digital Urban Visualization. Understanding Dynamics

          At what extent do we need to know the instrument called computer in order to not be ruled by it? The goal of this course is to learn the "language" of the computer, a programming language to better understand urban dynamics by plausibly visualize publicly available data.

                          FS2013 | Visualize ComplexCity

                          starts on February 11th ! The students will learn how to visualize big data bulks in a meaningful way using Blender and Python. The goal is to make raw data visible by the generic means of program code (Python). The resulting visualizations will be incorporated into urban video footage by using animation and rendering tools of Blender.

                                For one week we will learn the basics of 3D animation during daytime and project the outcome of our exercises in the evening - here at Hönggerberg onto the facade of the Bistro. Have a look at our latest projections at "Stadtfest Baden" and at those shown last December here at Hönggerberg. PDF | Subscribe
