This course offers a foundation in the practice of computational designing with a focus on botanical simulations. Explore the methods, poetics, and politics of designing for and with plants. Cultivate a command of basic technical skills in computational designing while developing projects that expand how we might imagine sustainability and livability in the wake of climate change.

Components AI - A new way to explore generative design systems
For full participation points, be present and active presence in class. Also, at the end of every class, you’ll turn in sketchnotes (a picture is fine) in the class’ Google Drive (link on Canvas). (33% of your grade)
(sketchnotes are visually driven notes, done on paper)
Each week, we’ll explore one botanical algorithm. You’ll build that algorithm with javascript. Instructions and due dates for each code assignment are in the table below. You’ll build these code examples in Glitch, and post the link in a spreadsheet hosted in Google Drive (link on Canvas) (33% of your grade)
