After successful completion of the course, students are able to implement algorithms and to think algorithmically.

Students are able to analyse the planning process in order to realize if the use of algorithms make sense. They are able to develop and describe an algorithm so that it can be implemented by a programmer (common language is necessary).

• Using a given planning task, a basic knowledge of programming is tought. Our language of choice is three.js.
• In the course of the lecture, algorithmic thinking is fostered. This entails the possibility for implementing own ideas using scripting, and is a basic knowledge that is highly valuable beyond the actual scripting language used.
• We will be programming tools for automizing recurring tasks of the daily architectural work routine.

• Introduction to Python programming language (in Rhino)
• Writing of program examples

Changes due to the coronavirus pandemic (03/21/2020): 

Students have access to a well worked out script. Therefore, the lecture part will be changed to homework (chapter by chapter) and self-tests.

Changes due to the coronavirus pandemic (04/03/2020): 

There is now homework to be done. We will organise live programming on April, 7th.
