Abstract
Technology and computational processes are enabling a brave new world of design procedures to emerge. Students of architecture use scripting and modeling packages to explore new methods of producing innovative design solutions. In the effort to embrace computational design methods, students neglect to question the reason and need for applying such technologies. In this paper, we discuss the pedagogical merits of computational methods as a process for generating formal solutions for design. We address why and in what ways computational procedures are utilized toward solving design problems by observing and analyzing undergraduate architecture students in three digital design workshops.
