THE LEGEND OF VOLTRON
For this assignment, each student was assigned a secret piece that he/she is asked to fabricate using contours and lasercutting. The pieces, when put together, generated a meaningful whole that the students did not know what it was until every piece eventually came together. The time-lapse video below shows the process of putting together the pieces in class.
The assignment sheet can be found here.
The timelapse video is created by Sadra Tehrani.

WEEK #02
This week, we will focus on Euclidean Constructions using compass and straightedge drawings. Geometry education for architects today reflects the need for referential systems derived from pure geometric (formal) relations, not arithmetic ones.
MATH OPEN REFERENCE -
Constructions: The drawing of various shapes using only a pair of compasses and straightedge or ruler. No measurement of lengths or angles. It is solving problems graphically, by drawing shapes instead of using arithmetic.
This website has many animations of compass and straightedge drawings. (link)
DESIGNCODING.NET -
This website is developed by a colleague of Benay Gürsoy Toykoç from Istanbul Bilgi University, Tuğrul Yazar. The sections on Architectural Geometry and Design Computing courses include tutorials, examples of student works and relevant information from these courses that they used to instruct in different sections.
