Designing the Process to Deliver Zero-Carbon Construction – Computational Design in Practice
Computational Design is generating increasing interest in the construction industry as well as a certain amount of confusion. It is not parametric design; instead it takes parametric design to the next level. It is a set of methods that will define how we design structures over the next decades. With Computational Design, you don’t design…

Beyond Automation – Change How You Think With Computational Design
Through the ever-increasing speed and capacity of computers, computation enables dealing with tasks that were traditionally either too time-consuming or too challenging to be accomplished sustainably by humans alone. However, computation is not just about automating traditional processes or tedious activities; it’s about shifting the way we think and design. To learn more about computational…

Computational Design and Digital Fabrication
In this podcast interview with Shajay Bhooshan, Senior Associate at Zaha Hadid Architects, we discuss computational design, digital fabrication, and AI. The topics include: Parametric, algorithmic, and generative design –are these all the same? How much computational design have Zaha Hadid Architects used in their most recent projects How computational/parametric design differs from a more…
