4.550/4.570 Computation Design Lab

Learning from Design Heritage
Research Workshop on Data-driven Methods


Examples of projects from the past classes
  • Mobile application: augmented reality on site or in museum for visualization of demolished, incomplete or hidden state of the building
  • Construction and interface design of multi-disciplinary database of text, artifact, texture, drawing, photography, and video
  • Use of photogrammetry/RGBd tools on-site for digitally capturing built forms, texture, as well as movement of people
  • Interactive educational tool that uses game engine and helps museum visitors to learn the history and architecture of the heritage
  • 3D panoramic/stereographic narrative of immersive, VR experience in built/un-built spatial environment
  • Mining big data for analysis and visualization of the heritage as it exists in the mind of people
