The outcomes of the Responsive Analogue and Digital Prototyping (RAD-P) elective, which was run in Semester 2, 2010 in RMIT University by Flora Salim, Jane Burry, and Daniel Davis, were reported in our paper published in April 2011 in CAADRIA 2011, Newcastle, Australia.
The students used various modelling techniques and technology including parametric modelling (with Grasshopper), scripting (with Processing), hands-on modelling, digital fabrication, and Arduino.
Nearly all the students joined the class without any experience in parametric modelling, scripting, and Arduino. Within the 12-weeks elective (which has less contact hours than a studio), they produced an interesting array of responsive architectural models and prototypes:
