Master of Computational Design and Fabrication at CEPT University, Ahmedabad Offline Course

The Master’s in computational design and Fabrication is a two-year program focused to train professionals to conceptualize form, material, and fabrication processes to develop cutting-edge design solutions. Today’s design world requires professionals to develop a design process which integrates computational thinking, tools, techniques, and digital fabrication. These computational design processes will be adopted within different domains of design [from products to building envelop systems] and at varying scales [from seating element to façade systems]. Various mathematical constructs, biological principle, material science and environmental parameters will be explored and applied to achieve high performing, efficient and optimized designs. Overall the program will encourage students to explore an integrative pedagogy to demonstrate the interdependency between design, material, and construction technology.

The program responds to the needs of contemporary practices and equip student with fluency in integrating computational workflows and fabrication processes within different domains of design. At the end of the program each student will achieve competency in effective application of:

• Computational thinking: analytical and algorithmic thinking.
• Computational tools and programming languages for form development and optimization.
• Emerging technologies like AR, VR, MR & XR within design process.
• Fabrication processes like additive, subtractive manufacturing and robotic fabrication.
• Integrative design and fabrication processes to build scaled interventions.
