Day 2
The second day of the conference was as immersive as the first day with a more engaging experience with exclusive presentations, interactive workshops, keynote addresses by the pioneers in the field of computational design.
- Cameron Newnham, presented about Fologram, a design research practise and technology startup building a platform for designing and making in mixed reality.
- This session was followed by the legendary architect Nathan Miller, founder and CEO of PROVING GROUND presenting his works related to building new tools and the evolution of the toolkit at Proving Ground – from free tools, to open source contributions, to commercial plugins.
- Ayoub Ahmad later curated an engaging workshop on Grasshopper 3D (Plug-ins) + Cinema 4D. He intricately narrated the design process to achieve a conceptual skyscraper design by using Cinema4D polygonal and volume modelling techniques, like Rhino3D, and Grasshopper “Pufferfish” & “lunchbox” Plugins.
- Vincenzo Reale, Architect and Structural Engineer later explained a detailed overview of his works at Arup. The presentation provided insights into the nuances of computational design from the eyes of a structural engineer.
- Brian Ringley, construction technologist at Boston Dynamics presented his works that are focused on promoting new value-add autonomous capabilities for construction project delivery and works to expand the construction application ecosystem with the Spot SDK.
- Soomeen Hahm, founder of the SoomeenHahm Design Ltd, a design researcher, educator and architectural designer presented her works on a generative and algorithmic design using computer coding and her latest research is centred around AR/VR, wearable machines, and human-computer interaction.
Enjoy watching the second day of the conference!
