These video excerpts discuss fundamental concepts of mesh geometry in computer graphics and architectural design, emphasizing the importance of data structures like vertices and faces to define 3D forms. The speaker illustrates how to programmatically create and manipulate meshes using various software libraries and languages, explaining topics like vertex and face normals, calculating centroids and areas, and applying transformations like offsets and twists. Key data concepts like serialization and different file formats for transferring mesh data are also introduced, alongside broader discussions on developing computational design thinking, creating evaluation metrics for design solutions, and the importance of consistent practice in mastering these skills. https://namjulee.github.io/njs-lab-public/work?id=2025-introductionToDesignComputation 686k2r
