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
