| Lecture date | 2-Nov-2023 |
| Lecture topic | Parametric curves and surfaces |
| Hello House | https://moodle-app2.let.ethz.ch/mod/resource/view.php?id=974092 |
| Assignment 3 | Fantacity — This assignment is about parametric design. In it, you develop a parametric massing model of a building (e.g., a tower) and arrange various states of it to create a fantasy microcity. You learn techniques to construct curves and curved surfaces in a controlled way, using parameters to define their shape. |

| Lecture topic | Data and Machine Learning |
| Hello House | https://moodle-app2.let.ethz.ch/mod/folder/view.php?id=979851 |
| Assignment 4 | Data Spaces – This assignment is about structuring and spatially curating geometric data. You are challenged to create a striking visualization that arranges many building outlines using their associated data attributes, revealing an engaging aspect or story. You learn techniques to curate a collection of buildings with filter, sort, search by shape, and spatially distribute them into grids or gradient fields. |
