This paper documents the activities and outcomes of an advanced architectural computing class that was modified to introduce NURBS (Non uniform rational b-spline) based design tools along with 2-D and 3-D fabrication and rapid prototyping techniques. Two class assignments were used to introduce this content. Project outcomes are documented along with recommendations for faculty considering introducing similar content into their courses or curriculums.
