SUMMARY:Computational Design – Are we missing an opportunity? - Paul She
 perd\, University of Bath\, UK
DTSTART:20210507T140000Z
DTEND:20210507T150000Z
UID:TALK160738@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Maria Marques de Carvalho
DESCRIPTION:Buildings were traditionally designed on a large\, flat piece 
 of paper.  Then computers came along\, and buildings began to be designed 
 on a large\, flat monitor screen.  But very little else changed.  The comp
 lexity of modern buildings is such that it is no longer sufficient to desi
 gn in 2D where change is relatively time-consuming to implement.  Luckily\
 , modern computers are so powerful that it is no longer necessary to do so
  either.\nIn this talk\, Paul will use case-studies of the real-world buil
 ding projects he has worked on to explain the context in which computation
 al design and optimisation sit in the modern building design process.  He 
 will then share three of his current research-council funded projects\, wh
 ich are developing the next generation of computational tools to help opti
 mise building designs in response to sustainability and productivity drive
 rs.  To finish\, he will give a broad overview of where he thinks the oppo
 rtunities are for future research and development in this area.\n
