DESCRIPTION:Dimitry Demin\, Chair for Computer Aided Architectural Design
  (CAAD)\, ETH Zurich\, Co-Founder Algotecture (www.algotecture.com)\nThe 
 lecture “towards a new form of building envelopes” outlined an interdi
 sciplinary approach to engineering and construction in the design of compl
 ex free-form geometry building envelopes\, an approach which necessitates 
 the design of customized tools. To achieve time-efficient design and energ
 y-sustainable fabrication methods the focus is shifted\, on an explicit in
 formational level\, to the idea of merging the aesthetic design idea and k
 now-how of facade designing techniques and technologies. This erosion of b
 oundaries results in an increase of data and a consequent growth of comple
 xity of design and manufacturing computational tasks. In large projects th
 e effect of this growth of complexity is to limit computational resources 
 to the establishment of an interactive work-flow between design and fabric
 ation processes\, including parameters for quality\, flexibility\, speed o
 f structural engineering and topological models. One major aspect of the i
 nfluence of this type of interactive work-flow on architectural and struct
 ural design is to search\, predict\, or model specific information in a gi
 ven data-set in order to generate new knowledge and cause manifold possibl
 e solutions. Computer science offers methods such as evolutionary computat
 ion\, machine learning\, and data mining and all of these have a great dea
 l to offer in the field of presenting a knowledge-base for design work-flo
 w. These methods also advance the interaction between structural\, mechani
 cal and architectural systems and in this new form of building envelopes r
 epresent significant key factors for innovation and digital technology.
