“High performance geometry for AEC” with ZAHA HADID Architects, UK

A round table discussion conducted by ZAHA HADID Architects, UK

“High performance geometry for AEC”, a note on the importance of a common language of geometry to empower a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach to meet the challenges facing the AEC., entitles the round table panel held by SHAJAY BHOOSHAN, Head of Computation and Design research (ZHACODE), Zaha Hadid Architects, UK, on the 23rd of November at Palazzo Badoer,Università Iuav di Venezia, from 1.45 – 3.45 P.M. during the SHARE X: Conference for Advanced Architecture.

He is an alumnus and a studio-master at the post-graduate course of Design Research Laboratory at the Architectural Association, London (AADRL, 2006). Shajay pursued his scientific interests in digital design and robotic fabrication during his Doctoral studies at the Block Research Group (BRG, 2022) at the ETH, Zurich and previously as a M.Phil. graduate from University of Bath (2016).

“High performance geometry for AEC” will develop during a presentation of 45 minutes the role of high performance geometry for the AEC industry.

The round table will highlight:

• Importance of a common language of geometry to empower a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach to meet the challenges facing the AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) industry.
• The effectiveness of masonry construction with 3D concrete printed ‘stone’ to achieve sustainable and circular construction goals is unreasonable.
• The surprising relevance of video game technologies is to attract new talent to the profession and to democratise digital design and robotic manufacturing advances.

This exceptional meeting between professionals will present real-world applications of both ongoing and completed research and it aims to not only showcase successful integrations of these innovative techniques into project design and construction, but also to stimulate dialogue through a 45-minutes open discussion with the audience members moderated by ETAN KIMMEL, Founder Kimmel Eshkolot Architects, Israel 

Part of a series of 6 round tables, you can reserve your place here if you are an international professional architect (outside Italy) or on the website of L’Ordine degli Architetti PPC di Venezia here if you are from Italy.
