Welcome to Computational Form, I’m looking forward to meeting you all (and seeing some of you again). I want us to hit the ground running, so I'm asking you to do a few things to prepare.
I’ll be in NYC for the first week of classes, and I’d like to hold our first class in person if possible. This will largely depend on if everyone can attend in person. Please let me know if YOU can join in person by 1) joining the discord and 2) responding to the poll in #compform-s23
Join the discord with this invite link (expires Jan 13!)
Feel free to start using the #compform-s23 channel right away. We’ll use it for class communication, sharing inspiration, sharing work in progress, and finding teams for group challenges.
Please read this email fully and do everything listed here before the first class to be fully prepared.
The general course website and textbook is http://compform.net
This site evolved from my Computational Form lecture notes over the years. Feel free to poke around to see what kinds of things we'll be talking about.
The section-specific website is here on notion.
This site hosts the section-specific calendar, syllabus, assignments, and daily agendas. We will also use Notion for collaborative note-taking during class meetings.
→ Please visit the class notion main page now to make sure you have read access.
→ Then visit the test page to make sure you can edit too.
We will share our work on the class sketch site.
This is a custom-built site we will use for sharing the sketches you make this semester. I designed and built it with a Comp From alumna specifically for the needs of this class. You can see what students made last semester here. ALL past work from the class can be found on compform.net!
→ Please create an account on the class sketch site using your New School email address.
→ Please upload a profile picture and add a little description. If you have a portfolio site, consider adding a link to your description.
If access to any of these resources is blocked for you, let me know.
The Syllabus is on the class website.
→ Read the Syllabus
→ Then add a question related to the syllabus to the Class Notion > Week 1 > Syllabus Questions
