About Computational Design: NEXT
THE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE: An Online Interactive Conference with global frontiers. Two-Day Online Conference with Live Presentations, Tutorials, Interactive Sessions, Live Mentorship & Panel Discussions. A collaborative initiative by ParametricArchitecture (PA) with rat[LAB]EDUCATION, DesignMorphine, A>T. Computational Design: NEXT 4.0 brings together pioneers and professionals from all industries to meet and discuss new emerging technologies in art, architecture, design, and manufacturing.
Computational Design: NEXT is a collaborative initiative by some of the global frontiers of Computational Design to open up an Online Learning platform as a comprehensive ONLINE CONFERENCE comprising of discussions, dialogues, tutorials, and mentorship to a global audience through thought-provoking and meaningful dialogues curated by ParametricArchitecture (PA), one of the leading media platforms focussing on Computational Design and its various subsets.
Day 1
Day 1 of Computational Design: NEXT 4.0 was an immersive and engaging experience with exclusive interviews, interactive workshops, keynote addresses by stalwarts in the field of computational design.
- The session started with the introduction of the themes for the CD Next 4.0 Online Conference series with Hamid Hassanzadeh, Founder & Editor in Chief, Parametric Architecture along with Sushant Verma, Co-founder & Design Head, rat[LAB] Studio, Michael Pryor, Design Director & Computational Designer, DesignMorphine, and amazing interview session of Arturo Tedeschi with Mauro Porcini.
- The panel presented a 15-minute session each introducing the various nuances in the computational world and their contributions in it like the importance of Grasshopper 3d, the impetus of the educational system on computational software, and the growth of media publications for global outreach.
- It was followed by an engaging interview with Mauro Porcini, Chief Design Officer at PepsiCo moderated by Arturo Tedeschi, Founder Architect & Computational Designer, A>T. Porcini discussed the dynamic approach towards his design language.
- Kristýna Uhrová from Subdigital introduced Monoceros, a discrete assembly plugin for Grasshopper powered by Wave Function Collapse.
- One of the great moments of day 1 which created footprints in the future was followed by an exclusive interview with Fulvio Wirz from Wirz Architects which was moderated by Arturo Tedeschi.
- Mollie Claypool, Automated Architecture (AUAR) Ltd, AUAR Labs presented her astounding works that took the audience through her journey of integrating technology in her designs.
- This was followed by Edwin Hernández who showcased a demonstrative workshop on Grasshopper plugin (ShapeDiver) to create intriguing geometries. ShapeDiver is a platform for building any type of online application based on Grasshopper files.
- Suyansh Chandra, Co-founder and co-CEO of British desktop robot arm manufacturer Automata presented a super inspiring take on robotic automation which is both simple yet affordable and creating uniqu footprints in the future. He highlighted his vision of ‘democratising robotics to automate the world.
