Creative Computation – new material practices for architecture
As questions of sustainability and material depletion put new pressures on our societies it is important to ask how can architecture be reimagined through new material practices.
In this talk, Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen will present work from the CITA research group re-considering computational design and its links to fabrication. Discussing key questions such as adaptive parametrisation, integrated simulation and information rich/data heavy design, the talk asks how new computational methods can be combined with creative design thinking to challenge how we think, design and make architecture. The talk presents work from multiple material systems; textiles, timber, metals, ceramics and bioplastics. Through this, it discusses how computation and the link to advanced digital fabrication allows us to challenge the paradigms of homogenous standardisation and mass production and work with complex heterogeneous material systems.
The talk will present an overview of research undertaken at CITA including key projects such as Complex Modelling and the research network Innochain. Here, the breadth of interdisciplinary collaboration with engineering, robotics, textiles design, glass and ceramics will be discussed as a particular opportunity of computation.
