Welcome to the course materials for the IIT Institute of Design Generative Design Workshop introductory course to computational design approaches, algorithmic design tools, and experimental data visualization and physicalization.
Like all courses affected by the ongoing pandemic, we will use a combination of online platforms alongside (hopefully soon) in-person facilities through the semester.
- Zoom for unrecorded class discussions (check your email for the link)
- This Github page for resource collection, presentations, and formal assignment documentation
- Miro for collaborative class sessions and file exchange (We may also occasionally need Google Drive for large file distribution)
