Graduate Certificate in Digitally Augmented Architecture

New Jersey Institute of Technology

The integration of Information Technology in architecture changed the way we experience the build and natural environment. Interactive maps and other smartphone apps are the beginning of new ways to interact with our physical environment through new interfaces. A rapid development of new augmented reality technologies will define new characteristics of work environments, public and private spaces. This certificate will introduce you to the history and politics and economic forces that are starting to define this new space. The 12 credit Graduate Certificate in Digitally Augmented Architecture is comprised of 4 courses for those who wish to gain the foundational skills and knowledge required to design of a digitally augmented spaces for a wide range of programs. This certificate will provide an inside in how information technology is used to influence and support social structures and an inside in how ICS are used as a catalytic tool for expanding and augmenting public and private space. This certificate program covers: The recent progress in data science allows us to understand the correlations between artistic expressions and their implicit qualities in more quantifiable formats and leads us to explore creativity through a symbiotic relationship between human and machine intelligence. This course will introduce various analytical means to assess the performance and quality of spatial designs. Using various computational design tools, students will use environmental to aesthetic parameters to explore the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Virtual Reality (VR). Digital technology disrupted city life.
