Computational Design

Más información sobre el libro

Computational design is an emergent discipline that operates at the intersection of computer science, engineering, and design knowledge to develop new strategies, tools, methods and workflows in and for the conceptualisation and construction of the built environment. While computational design thinking and methods are widely argued to be troubling and transforming long-standing ways of working in the architecture, engineering and construction industries, the shift from promise to practice remains a challenge.This book documents the unique nexus of research and practice collaborations that form the basis of the Computational Design Education and Research programme at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. The diversity of projects and positions outlined in this publication contributes to advancing computational design as an interdisciplinary pursuit that is capable of innovatively addressing real-world built environment problems and opportunities through collaborative human-machine thought and action.
