Design Studies Technology and Design - Harvard University

Design Studies Technology and Design from Harvard University is a Campus Master Architecture And Related Services degree that prepares you for a Architecture career. This study area positions technology as an enabler of design and as a tool to broaden design inquiry, and highlights emerging fields and innovations impacting design research and the practice of design . Five specific areas of design technology and innovation are covered in these courses. -Advanced Materials and Systems courses study smart materials and environments, high performance materials and advanced structural materials. -The Design Computation course covers Java programming, CAD/CAM design , algorithm design and technique, kinetic design , database design , parametric modeling and other dimensionally-driven modeling, and interactive spaces (those between the built and computational environments). -Environmental Technology courses focus on design technologies at the building, rather than the land planning scale (which is addressed in the Urbanization and Housing area): topics covered include green roofs; light analysis, design and simulation; and sustainable energy. -Product Development is the study of the processes that lead to product development, rather than the design of products themselves. Students examine the different stages of product design as distinguished from the building design process. -Digital Design and Manufacturing—an historic strength of the GSD—leverages technology transfer in the investigation of digital design of architectural components. The GSD offers students exceptionally well-equipped workshop space for this area of study, and students learn to print three-dimensional components and use laser cutting machinery.
