Smart Geometry 2012 - Material Intensities

"Material Intensities

Imagine the design space of architecture was no longer at the scale of rooms, walls and atria, but that of cells, grains and vapour droplets. Rather than the flow of people, services, or construction schedules, the focus becomes the flow of light, vapour, molecular vibrations and growth schedules: design from the inside out.

The sg2012 challenge, Material Intensities, is intended to dissolve our notion of the built environment as inert constructions enclosing physically sealed spaces. Spaces and boundaries are abundant with vibration, fluctuating intensities, shifting gradients and flows. The materials that define them are in a continual state of becoming: a dance of energy and information."

Appunti di architettura digitale ed altro

"Il mio intento, come dice il nome del blog, è di "taggare" o meglio linkare ciò che vedo intorno a me nel campo della ricerca architettonica digitale senza voler classificare o dare indicazioni di merito. Voglio solo fornire spunti a chi non conosce l'argomento e stimoli per una ricerca personale a chi è già interessato. Questo blog vuole essere un contenitore di notizie "democraticamente random"."

new smart geometry website

Starting today, SmartGeometry.org has a new home with a host of new features.

You will find frequent articles and blog postings by SG members and friends, reviews of recent conferences and software (with photos/video), and an open forum on a variety of topics for your participation.

This new site also contains content from the previous conferences and workshops as well as information about future events. It will be the gathering place prior to the next SG International Conference for workshop attendees and speakers.

Become a member, and come back often and take part in the future development of architectural design computation!

SmartGeometry Workshop 2008 in Munich

"What was it? »

This centerpiece of the event featured a day long agenda filled with inspiring sessions where tutors shared the work from this year’s Workshop, and they were joined by presentations from industry leaders and SmartGeometry Directors. Focusing on advanced computational and parametric design, these sessions included presentations on design, technology, methodology and through case studies."
