Designing with Parameters – What’s Next?
Thursday 27 February 2014, 7pm
Parametric software has enabled architects and designers to create structures, buildings and environments that were impossible to imagine twenty years ago. But what is the future of such digitally based design and what are going to be the defining parameters of design in the future?
Join us for an evening exploring the evolution, future possibilities and pros and cons of parameter control in creating architecture. The expert panel will include Michael Pawlyn, founder and director, Exploration Architecture; Patrik Schumacher, director, Zaha Hadid Architects; and Nerea Calvillo, director, C+ arquitectos. The debate will be chaired by Dr Marcos Cruz, director of the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL.
