SOM + SCI-Arc on CF: Living Green & Easy (Performance Design)

Informing Form Through Design Computation in Practice

Too often, the problem of environmentally responsive design is seen solely through the lens of technological innovation. The high-tech solutions brought about by this approach, while progressive and inventive, are often overly optimistic about the pace at which new technologies can be developed and deployed as real-world construction systems. This issue becomes increasingly pressing as a majority of construction projects (and a majority of the greenhouse gas emissions) shifts to the developing world. How can we use our high-tech design methods to develop designs that respond to the environment and function in a low-tech way? read more

som + sci-arc on core.form-ula

The Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) proposes a unique partnership with SOM to support the educational mission of the school to educate architects to engage, speculate and innovate. The following is a proposal for a collaborative SOM design computation research program with faculty and students from the Southern California Institute of Architecture, Los Angeles, California. The proposal seeks to build a repeatable structure for design research with SOM that is extensible within the SCI-Arc curricular constraints. SCI-Arc will undertake a research seminar to be lead by faculty Dr. David Jason Gerber.
