Description: GENETIC SCREENING: TECHNOLOGY SEMINAR ***** It is the intent of the class to research and explore the potentials of computer-software and fabrication in a focused semester long design exercise. The class will explore 3-D computer software (specifically MEL scripting) for its variability and adaptability, working on specified performative requirements scripted through if/then scenarios. In groups of 3 the class will investigate these potentials focusing on the design of a screen (privacy screen/curtain wall) before fabricating physical models of these investigations. (Basic understanding of Maya encouraged but no previous requisites required). ***** Instructor(s): Lally
