Introduction

Algorithm Rome Summer School has an advanced computational approach that enables designers ‎and architects to overcome the imposition of prefixed architectural forms in order to enhance ‎performance-driven design and responsive kinetic solutions that interact with humans and ‎environment. Lectures on parametric design simulation, generative forms as well as kinetic ‎responsive design, analyzing and digital fabrication prototyping, are integrated together in 2 main ‎parallel modules. Students from the beginning of the school will be divided into groups to compete ‎on a case project increasing their ability to define project parameters, design factors, solving ‎problems, understanding factors relationships, involving environmental and human sensors, and ‎optimizing their projects solutions in smart and inelegance way.‎
