Colloquium -- Computational Mathematics
Speaker: David Correa, Assistant Professor, School of Architecture, University of Waterloo
Title: "Material Informed Computational Design in Architecture"
Remarks: Refreshments at 3:45pm
Abstract: No longer bound by the production line, designers, engineers and computer scientists have moved to the development of adaptive construction processes capable of autonomous sensing, simulation and response. The integration of computational design and simulation tools, in the form of customized software and hardware, has provided designers with new access to material properties resulting on unprecedented levels of performance complexity. This talk will present an overview of robotically enabled and digital fabrication projects developed at the Institute of Computational Design and Construction (ICD) in Germany.
