The Design Knowledge in Computing concentration addresses computer-aided design methods and techniques and their application to problem-solving issues in the built environment. The goal of the program is to provide a fundamental understanding of computational issues and methods in architectural design and to explore crtitically the application and potential of these techniques in practice. Topics studied include computer graphics and geometric modeling, simulation and analysis, WEB development and programming, knowledge-based and object-oriented systems, databases, and comprehensive computer-aided design and information management systems.
