課程宗旨 Objective of The Course	Architectural design increasingly relies on computational workflows to explore, evaluate, and communicate design decisions. This course introduces design simulation and computation as an integrated approach for developing multi-objective architectural systems, with an emphasis on building envelopes and structural systems. Students will use Blender with Bonsai (IFC/BIM) and Geometry Nodes to build information-rich models, develop parametric/procedural design systems, and run digital simulations to compare alternatives in terms of aesthetics, constructability, cost, and energy performance. Throughout the semester, students will engage in hands-on exercises and project-based learning, combining parametric modeling, digital twin concepts, and AI-assisted workflows to support iterative design refinement and evidence-based decision making. By the end of the course, students will be able to: 1. Create and manage IFC-based building information models in Blender/Bonsai (e.g., LOD 100–200). 2. Develop parametric/procedural design systems using Geometry Nodes. 3. Apply basic physical and performance simulations to evaluate design alternatives and produce clear visualizations/animations. 4. Use AI tools responsibly to support ideation, iteration, and multi-objective refinement (aesthetics, cost, energy). 5. Communicate design intent and performance results through an analysis report and final presentation.
