School assertion:

“The Master of Science in Architecture, Computational Technologies programme is a two-semester, 30-credit, post-professional grasp’s diploma programme on the New York Institute of Technology.

“It explores the intersection of structure, know-how and innovation, empowering college students to form the way forward for design and building by cutting-edge analysis and sensible software, thereby maximising their employability expertise.

“At New York Tech, architectural training is just not merely about buying data; it is about honing expertise by tackling more and more complicated design challenges that can outline the architectural design subject, taking up a extra interdisciplinary and technologically oriented method.

“Essential expertise acquired within the programme within the first semester embody coding, massive information evaluation, simulations, augmented actuality, computational modelling, machine studying and synthetic intelligence as they relate to structure and sustainability.

“In the second semester, college students take part in design studio actions, together with digital fabrication, robotic building techniques, and the simulation and optimisation of supplies.

“These expertise culminate within the creation of 1:1 prototypes and installations, in addition to real-world subject experiences {and professional} settings, which can embody worldwide exhibitions such because the Venice Biennale and the Salone del Mobile in Milan.

“Nestled within the coronary heart of New York City, alongside Broadway, and simply steps away from Central Park and Columbus Circle, the New York Tech School of Architecture and Design is the one faculty of structure and design within the New York space with totally accredited programmes in each structure and inside design.

“As a end result, the situation of the programme offers college students with a rare alternative to expertise New York City as a dynamic city dwelling lab.

“New York Tech graduates form the largest network of licensed architects in New York State, offering an invaluable source of mentorship, guidance and abundant employment opportunities.”

Image 3D Fabrication by Tharoonaskar Baskaran and Arathi Chilla

“Each Foam CNC milled high-density panel exhibits an unorthodox workflow that paperwork and creates a three-dimensional moveable, adaptable and sustainable facade screening gadget from a two-dimensional AI-generated picture.

“The mission explores a doable situation of superior computational design and fabrication methods unravelling the probabilities that emerge from a purely two-dimensional AI-generated picture.

“The model shows the same AI-generated image realised through two different digital modelling and fabrication techniques. The pieces are made from high-density foam.”

Fragmented City by Mahima Kulkarn

“The product resembles a hypothetical metropolis that’s designed by the negotiation of hand sketches, portray, AI photographs and multimedia fabrication course of.

“The city fragments are expressed through the lines, the masses and strings. The piece is made from PLA 3D printing, milled MDF, laser cut museum board, metal pins and string.”

Resolution Through Fabrication by Mike Saad

“CNC milled high-density foam panels discover the thought of ‘decision by fabrication’ as the first matter inside the course of robotics and fabrication.

“The course of transforms related geometries or kinds into totally fabricated objects with completely different texture resolutions primarily based on a number of fabrication variables akin to toolpath densities, mill bits sorts and gear sizes.

“The mission explores the idea of 3D decision by CNC milling emphasising the fabrication variables showcased by geometry, instrument paths and gear bits.

“Different combinations of these variables unpack variations of surface finishes while maintaining the autonomy of the original geometry input.”

Robotic Clay Stamping by Amisha Bavadiya

“This prototype explores the idea of 3D robotic stamping. In this case, clay is used because the reduction materials that receives the stamp whereas being contained inside a wood mould.

“The patterns used to stamp the clay are fabricated on a high-density foam material using 2D CNC profiling operation.”

Student: Amisha Bavadiya
Course: Fabrication and Robotics
Tutor: Fadhil Fadhil

Shadow Reflection by Yashraj Chauhan

“This mission resulted in photographs displaying variations of sunshine and shadow reflections on an aluminium sheet. The course of underwent rigorous testing on a number of gentle situations as they work together with steel sheets from a number of angles responding to explicit steel folds.

“Prototype showing early exploration for a light installation that combines both light and shadow interactions with the folded aluminium sheets.”

Muqarnas by Robotic Wire Cutting by Arefin Chisty

“This mission culminated in a collection of prototypes displaying a reenvisioned course of of manufacturing the standard elements of Muqarnas structure utilizing CNC milling and robotic wire chopping.

“The mission explores prototypes which can be produced utilizing minimal floor scorching wire chopping operations producing a number of variations of comparable Muqarnas geometries.

“It is an attempt to revive the lost historical craftsmanship through utilising the current highly advanced computational design and robotics fabrication tools.”

Urban Densities by CNC milling by Alejandro Romero

“The end result of this mission is a high-density foam mannequin showcasing completely different city densities of a hypothetical metropolis. The design course of utilises fabrication strategies akin to CNC milling to reimagine the digital mannequin by completely different CNC instruments and gear path densities.

“The mission is an try and merge city design with digital design and robotics fabrication.

“The mission intently examines city variables akin to city densities, circulation paths and volumes to redefine them as fabrication variables that may successfully contribute to the design evolution of city situations.

“Such an approach challenges the conventional urban design strategies while introducing digital fabrication as an urban design methodology rather than a final production tool.”
