DESCRIPTION
CITAstudio: Computation in Architecture is a two year International Master's Programme at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture. With a focus on digital design and material fabrication the programme questions how computation is changing our spatial, representational and material cultures. Through hands-on experimentation and production the programme emphasises learning-through-doing as a principle method for exploring computation as a means to pursue speculative design, experimental fabrication, material actuation and complex modelling.

A Changing Practice…
Over the last 30 years the introduction of digital design tools has exerted a profound impact on architectural design practice, fundamentally changing the ways in which the built environment is designed, communicated and realised. Today, architecture is almost entirely produced using digital tools. The development of programmed information models has created a new generation of dynamic representations in which complex environmental and material simulations, structural analyses and fabrication data can be directly interfaced with the architectural design space. In these models the act of drawing has become entangled with the ability to calculate. Creating a new site between tool and representation, architects are given a new opportunity to design for, and with, a higher degree of complexity. By devising new environmental, material and structural solutions we can radically challenge the way we design our built surroundings.
It is this context and potential which ‘CITA Studio: Computation in Architecture’ investigates. Our ambition is to understand Information Technology as a fundamental shift in architecture’s representational and conceptual traditions. In architecture our representations; drawings and models are not only systems of notation but also speculative sites of design investigation and discovery. As our representations develop, the possibility for architectural expression changes - not only with respect to its formal or structural thinking but also with respect to its spatial, social and experiential potential.
CITAstudio: Computation in Architecture CITAstudio provides a Masters level architectural design programme that places special focus on examining architectural issues
through critically situating computation and digital technologies in the processes of thinking, forming and producing architecture. The programme fosters a dynamic, creative, experimental and rich intellectual environment supported through direct contact with the research centre CITA (Centre for Information Technology and Architecture). The CITAstudio programme equips students with core knowledge and understandings for addressing site, complex building programme and related architectural issues through computational design methods. Our goal is to provide a creative framework for the active and critical thinking of the spatial, theoretical and technological consequences of digital design practice. We encourage students towards their own critical reflections on how these tools are used, how they are developed and how they interface with the knowledge fields of other disciplines.
Relation to Research
The changes to the profession and practice outlined above are also eroding many of the traditional boundaries of the profession, altering its scope, values and mixing disciplinary demarcations – all of which drives a need for the conceptualisation and invention of alternatives to traditional practice. A principle location for such alternatives to be investigated is within research. CITA is a research body with an international presence that is investigating the implications and potentials of digital technologies in Architecture. Over the last ten years it has established itself as a leading international research environment, disseminating its work through numerous exhibitions, publications, conference presentations and scholarly papers. The study programme continuously develops insight into key concepts of research, providing students with the conceptual tools
to understand and develop their own research practice. Students are placed into direct contact with the expertise of CITA’s research environment and extensive international network of collaborators and industrial partners. The teaching focus is tightly linked to CITA’s core research practice, which is established upon the internationally recognised Research-by-Design methodology. Through ongoing interaction with and tracking of CITA research projects, students are introduced to core aspects of this methodology, through which they develop the critical capacities, advanced skills and new creative frameworks relevant to a contemporary practice that is in a state of continual transformation. In 2015, CITAstudio has extended its engagement with research practice by further developing three themes: collaborations with academic research groups (both internal and external), collaborations with research groups embedded within architectural practices,
and the making of research with practice and industrial partners. CITAstudio students have attended the Design Modeling Symposium 2015, drawing insight, inspiration and networks from state of the art academic and practice-based modeling and simulation approaches. CITAstudio has hosted workshops with external research groups including Bau Kunst Erfinden (Universität Kassel) examining force based strategies for material organisation within thin concrete shells, as well as with Philip Beesley and Living Systems Architecture Group (University of Waterloo) implementing emerging technologies for responsive architectures. Through the Velux Guest Professorship programme, Billie Faircloth -leader of the transdisciplinary research group at Kieran Timberlake Architects – is currently leading a series of workshops into the multiscale design and registration of thermodynamic systems. The semester culminates in a permanent built work, a research pavilion undertaken with Søren Jenson engineers and EHLERT GmbH steel fabricators.
Structure and Content of the Course
The CITAstudio masters programme is organised across 2 years (4 semesters), and is based around project-based experimentation and inquiry in order to stimulate and sharpen creative and critical abilities. Year 1 and 2 run in parallel to encourage mutual exchange and peer support through the experiences, knowledge and skills developed by each student. The 2014-15 Autumn semester thematic is Material Energies. The studio has explored and developed expanded models for thinking about associations between material and energy within architecture. This book documents some of those explorations. At present, energies such as thermal variation, air velocity, and magnetic fields remain a largely untapped source of innovation and inspiration for architects. We have sought to go beyond standardisations, and to use material energies as a formative and transformative process
throughout design, and across scales. By interrogating the notion of material energies at different scales, through design, simulation and empirical testing, projects have developed specific contexts, refined understandings and explore architectural implications. In the Spring semester students are given the freedom to unpack and explore their programme of study through a personally directed project. While these explorations take point of departure in, and motivation from, the year’s thematic and the skills, tools and personal interests developed in the previous semester(s), the opportunity is to focus more fully on identifying and pursuing personal agendas and methods of study within the field. Resources
The CITAstudio programme provides students with resources that complement the concerns of the programme. Courses such as
Design-led Coding, which run over the two years, introduce a fundamental basis of programming theory, concepts and techniques in both abstract and applied contexts. Students move through basic to advanced knowledge of python coding and parametric modeling, developing skills in problem decomposition, awareness of suitable computational models, and investigate the productive application of programming to aspects of speculation, making, representational practice and design. Operational knowledge of digital fabrication machinery is provided continuously, as these techniques offer a key means to readdress the way we understand, use and make systems and materials. CITAstudio’s fabrication resources include a robot laboratory, as well as 3D printing, laser cutting and milling facilities.

Resources Experiments
Aggregations are exploratory modular systems made from discrete elements. Digital techniques offer a means to extend the way we understand, design, use and make these systems.
The introduction of precision and controlled variability through digital design and fabrication challenges any assumption of an average or repeated condition by supporting the modulation of components within an aggregation to steer local and global behaviours.
The complexities arising from module variation and assembly methods are explored in both rigid and indeterminate, non-stationary systems. This introduces a parallel concern of structural properties and performance, which are investigated alongside spatial and architectural interests.
Aggregation strategies can be aligned to a variety of digital design methods. For example, parametric and scripted tools allow the exploration of nested and recursive structures; rigid-body simulation permits the study of indeterminate assemblies that are ‘poured’ and settle by gravity; physical structures explore questions of tectonic and junction and lead to an appreciation of the architectural qualities that can arise from aggregated systems.

Resources Experiments
disContinuities describe experiments that seek out opportunities for steering towards specificity and heterogeneity by means of design interventions that operate across scales and system boundaries. Directed towards both material and immaterial systems, these experiments are critically aware that geometry is often not representative of the boundaries under consideration, nor is geometry able to capture the dynamics of temporally sensitive conditions. This demands appropriate methods of registration, representation and interpretation as a precursor to developing attitudes towards intervention and steering. Methods of registration supporting these interests include thermal and electrical sensing of designed graded materials, data gathering from sensing arrays at urban scale and physical simulation of dynamic systems. These registrations feed into experiments aimed towards making other kinds of boundary observable, malleable and controllable.
These experiments cultivate territories beyond notions of efficiency and optimisation and include the use of magnetic fields to spatially distribute material constituents and open up possibilities for anisotropy, functionalisation and tailored thermal and electrical conductivity. Through the highly specified control of toolpaths, further experiments steer continuous material depositions as a means to create graded structures that aim towards modulation and participation within dynamic environments.

Resources Experiments
Interrogations explore physical and data-based operations that produce experimental transforms, reconstructions and manipulations, in ways that introduce new spatial and dynamic narratives.
Digital modelling tools can be used to extract and encode measured material behaviour, allowing deformation to be studied, varied and specified as part of the design process. State of the art 3D laser scanning and data processing offers the ability to capture large scale environments with millimetre accuracy. The ability to search these digital resources opens up new possibilities for combinatoric operations, more informed resource use, and the specification of material, light and acoustic performance.

Resources Experiments
Led by Philip Beesley, this research workshop implements emerging technologies for responsive architecture. Capable of sensing, actuation and learning, emerging technologies make it possible to rethink architecture not as something static, but rather as entities and environments able to respond and adapt to changing conditions, and capable of mutual exchange with their occupants. This shift poses new considerations and opportunities for architectural design - how can these ‘living’ systems function, and how can they be designed and adapted within architecture?
The research workshop develops an installation that includes LED lighting, infra-red sensors, acoustic and physical actuators and shape-memory alloys. It pursues three lines of exploration: the aggregation and distribution of kinetic mechanisms and assemblies into interactive networks; the clarification of new possibilities for acoustic response, which emerge from a temporal sampling of the environment; and the use of machine learning algorithms – specifically Curiosity Based Learning Algorithms – to allow for constantly evolving responses to occupants exploring the environment.

Resources Experiments
Reciprocities explore how productive interdependencies between material, fabrication process and environment can be sites for design. These experiments develop strategies that distribute the location of design parameters and behavioural intelligence across these boundaries. They investigate how the precision of robotics can provide new means to engage with imprecise materials, and how control mechanisms for form or movement might be placed into either environments or material ecosystems.

scalarHierachies collects digital and physical experimental approaches to the programming of a substrate so as to activate desired behaviours at larger scales of material, element or building.
Digital tools provide new opportunities to explore specification at a small scale and to extrapolate specific ranges of behaviour at a larger scale. Materials with programmed porosity, found through the use of simulation and search algorithms, can be designed to exhibit desired deformations or resistances under loading. Localised control of positioning can be linked to global refractive effects, while the designed aggregation of units determines degrees of freedom for physical and digital form finding processes.

Resources Experiments
Investigating the possibilities of an architecture that incorporates time as a fundamental forming element, these experiments look to the productive engagement of temporalities associated with material behaviour, thermal conductivity and biological growth processes.
Simulation provides a means for design to escape the static and engage with dynamic, temporal requirements. The experiments collected here speculate about seasonal accommodations designed through an intimate knowledge of bending behaviour, as well as structural skins programmed to optimally diffuse daylight for Nordic environments. Temporal simulation allows them to also probe the limits of what we make architecture with, by predicting the growth processes of urban façade farming, and the processes of thermal energy transfer by which multi-material structures can condition public spaces.

CITAstudio: Computation in Architecture is a two year International Master’s Programme at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture. With a focus on digital design and material fabrication the programme questions how computation is changing our spatial, representational and material cultures. Through hands-on experimentation and production the programme emphasises learning-through-doing as a principle method for exploring computation as a means to pursue speculative design, experimental fabrication, material actuation and complex modelling.
