Computational Design Thinking takes place twice a week. Each session is 2.5 hours long, split into two circa one hour segments. The first segment is typically theory oriented while the second aims towards practice and applications. The content is organised thematically into 3 parts: Generative Design, Parametric Design and Simulation. The table below captures the overall organization content in further details.
