DESCRIPTION:Prof. M. Thomsen\n13:30 – 14:30 – Prof. Mette Thomsen\nFul
 l professor\, Schools of Architecture\, Design and Conservation\, The Roya
 l Danish Academy of Fine Arts\n\nCreative Computation – new material pra
 ctices for architecture    \n\nAs questions of sustainability and material
  depletion put new pressures on our societies it is important to ask how c
 an architecture be reimagined through new material practices.\n \nIn this
  talk\, Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen will present work from the CITA research g
 roup re-considering computational design and its links to fabrication. Dis
 cussing key questions such as adaptive parametrisation\, integrated simula
 tion and information rich/data heavy design\, the talk asks how new comput
 ational 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 biop
 lastics. Through this\, it discusses how computation and the link to advan
 ced digital fabrication allows us to challenge the paradigms of homogenous
  standardisation and mass production and work with complex heterogeneous m
 aterial systems.\n \nThe talk will present an overview of research undert
 aken at CITA including key projects such as Complex Modelling and the rese
 arch network Innochain. Here\, the breadth of interdisciplinary collaborat
 ion with engineering\, robotics\, textiles design\, glass and ceramics wil
 l be discussed as a particular opportunity of computation.
