Instead of the city

The Robots and the Nature

Computational Design of UMPRUM Studio AIII
Shota Tsikoliya, David Kovařík

The lecture will present contemporary trends in the development of architectural design in the architecture of the fourth industrial revolution. 

The development of computational technologies and the digitization of architectural tools radically influenced architectural practice and architectural research.

Computational design allows for the creation of variable geometry records, cooperation with other disciplines and direct connection to the manufacturing process. Concentrating the process from design to implementation to a shared digital platform offers the potential for stronger feedback, more efficient collaboration, and therefore a better, more innovative and creative architectural solution. Academic platforms of computational design (also the name of the exhibition in the UM Gallery) have become a place of transferring the necessary professional knowledge and know-how, but also a unique environment for research and innovation. New design and manufacturing technologies require more space for experiment, development, testing and prototyping. Therefore, the possibilities of computational design and new technologies are increasingly used in cooperation with other scientific fields and technological research.
