Introducing a Workshop to Build an Affordable 3D-Scanner: Presenting a Variety of Computational Concepts to Novice Students of Architecture

In the current computer-aided architectural design education, students do not necessarily need to be taught to use more digital tools, but need to be introduced to the possibilities of designing their own digital tools. Designing the original tools with the assistance of educational-use environment for computational fluid dynamics programming improves the capability of the students to estimate the flows around architectures based on the mathematical background and the actual program. The authors have developed Educational Library for Fluid as an educational-use environment for computational fluid dynamics programming and ran the workshop where the students majoring in computer-aided architectural design tried to design computational fluid dynamics tools with Educational Library for Fluid. In this article, the details of Educational Library for Fluid and the results of the workshop are being reported. In addition, the key points of computational fluid dynamics education that the authors learned through the experience of the workshop are shared.

Smart architecture has become a widespread term. In general it relates to computational components in buildings interacting with either the environment or the inhabitants. The term 'smart' itself leads to irritations, because objects can neither be smart by itself nor can a somehow applied smartness make a whole building smart. The presentation of some projects created by means of the Makers' culture shows an alternate pass to handle computational and interactive elements in buildings as part of the concept of empathic architecture.
