SDC 100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Built Environment
Document Summary
The growing desire to live in urban centers: spurred from recognizing sustainable living opportunities, in the last 20 years, more people have been inclined to sell their cars and move. The growing desire to travel: translated to the desire to become a part of a global world, globalization is the interaction and integration among different nations. A process fueled by the collaboration of international trade, investment and tech. Design happens through an iterative process demanding thinking forward and back: an iterative process is made up of doodling, living outside of the mind and letting go. Translating the vision: once a productive conclusion provides a workable solution, 3d realization is used, models are used to test design merit. For example, drawing sketch perspectives to test the three dimensions. Allow us to study light, scale and spatial effects. Built environment designers use digital models to test environmental effects: digital models trace minuscule effects of the sun on a building across the year.
