DBN Courseware

The Design By Numbers Courseware is a web-based environment built to facilitate the use of DBN as an educational tool for teaching computational design. It provides educators with an interface for inputing/editing problem statements and students with the ability to work in DBN and save their work directly to the server. Most importantly, it presents a unique viewing environment where students can critique their work within the context of the entire class.

Examples of Courseware installations and projects:
Musashino Art University - Japan
Designskolen Kolding - Denmark
Massachusetts Institiute of Technology - Cambridge, USA
Parsons School of Design - New York, USA
AIGA National Headquarters - New York, USA
Fabrica - Novara, Italy
Icograda - Seoul, Korea
