Provides foundational skills in designing, prototyping, and programming interactive physical computing systems. Emphasis is on critical thinking and tradeoffs between technical complexity, end goals, design decisions, functionality, and quality of craft, when humans are part of the loop.
Introduces data-driven modeling, simulation, and visualization of urban mobility systems for computational scenario analysis. Provides foundational skills in data visualization and in modeling and simulation of complex systems using System Dynamics (SD) and Agent-Based (AB) methodologies.
Investigates design, engineering, and empirical assessment of participatory cyberphysical systems of common pool resources. The course envisions a future in which coordination emerges collectively from how humans interact with data, with and through the physical environment.
Explores the design, modeling, and analysis, of intelligent architectural or urban ecosystems as well as their cyclic transitions in time, asking the question: how do we design intelligent architectures across technologies and scales?
Graduate seminar between Architecture, Software Information Systems, and Computer Science that critically reviews the evolution and design principles of systems of urban and territorial intelligence, from the ancient networks of optical telegraphy to today’s internet of things.
