20 Feb PARAMETRIC DESIGN & COMPUTER-CONTROLLED CUTTING
Parametric modeling is a design method in which a group of settings and algorithms are used to define the fundamentals of a 2D or 3D model. The
key advantage of parametric design is, when setting up a geometric model, the shape of model can be changed as soon as the parameters that constraint its dimensions or characteristics are modified; therefore there is no need to redraw the model whenever it needs a change. In this seminar, we will explore the possibilities of parametric design and modeling while encouraging the research and discovery of new ways of making models or objects by using computer-controlled cutting processes, such as laser and vinyl cutting, applying the philosophy “learning by doing”.

Elena Cardiel is the Manager of the Fab Lab IE University of the A&D School where she specializes in digital fabrication. Since she earned her Architecture degree from IE University in 2013, graduating as valedictorian, she has worked in several architectural offices and completed different courses in modelmaking, crafting, robotics, and digital fabrication including the Fab Academy “How to make almost anything” Diploma in 2019.
Skills
Students will gain an understanding of basic aspects of parametric 2D design and modeling and how the technologies of computer-controlled cutting work. Students will learn how to envision, prototype and document their ideas through many hours of hands-on experience with digital fabrication tools.
