This website is intended to be used as a companion to Georgia Tech's Design Scripting class (ARCH 3844/7030/8833), taught by Russell Newton in Spring 2025. Much of the content and learning material of the course will be posted and distributed via this website. This way, it can be used as a reference when completing assignments, developing the final project, and any time in the future.
All other course material such as the syllabus, schedule, and announcements will be distributed through Teams.
Computer programming is nearly ubiquitous as a tool for problem solving and automation across many disciplines, from engineering to analytics, even to design. For architects and designers, computer programming can be used to create, explore, and evaluate design ideas.
Students in this course will progress from the basics of programming to advanced approaches in algorithmic design. By the end of the semester, students are expected to establish the fundamentals of computer programming and demonstrate control of computer programming as a facilitator of design.
