Abstract :
[en] In this paper, we present a learning-by-doing experiment in the last Master Degree that overall aims at having students discovering and exploring design issues and physical modeling but also at exploring and practicing tectonic matter.
We focus on new curriculum skills as using parametric design tools as a specific way of thinking that can extend design possibilities in digital design experimentation: the ‘design-to-fabrication continuum’.
By means of a « design framework » we discuss what accurate knowledges are needed to perform a usable and relevant modelling associated to an appropriate production method, resulting in new materiality considerations.
A specific part of our teaching is to present to students a novel and useful method for architectural design. We demonstrate how it can incorporate the complexity into the design space, and be an accurate help for creative thinking, especially to manage self-adaptive architectural objects.
This paper exposes a « design framing” method illustrated by a multipurpose tool, discuss its limits and benefits on design and fabrication issues. We can also observe and define specific and decisive methodological design emergences.
