Course Description

Architecture students will learn the fundamentals of coding and computation. During the course, students will understand concepts such as variables, conditions, loops, algorithms, and libraries. The students will then implement these concepts in design exercises to create hands-on projects using coding to solve design problems. This course will fulfill university requirements to be categorized as "AI
