Design & Research Lecture Series Fall 2013
KTH School of Architecture - Architectural Technology Lectures Series Fall 2013
What is research in the realm of architectural design?
Novel technologies, materials and fabrication methods constantly enter the field of architecture. However, these innovations can only contribute to the discipline if they are integrated into a coherent process from design to production. In recent years many architects conducted extensive research and significantly contributed to technological innovations. The development of parametric design and simulation tools through a global open source community or a novel interpretation of the use of industrial robots exemplifies the power of design thinking. This lecture series features PhD students and researchers from practice and international leading research groups. They will present and discuss their view on research within the field of design and talk about projects, research tools and methodologies.
Location: KTH School of Architecture, Östermalmagatan 26, 10044 Stocholm, Room A3

Using hyperboloid geometry the FabPod is constructed of hundreds of digitally fabricated cells. An acoustically new concept for a meeting space, the FabPod proposes that irregular form, complex surface geometry, and multiple material properties will create good acoustic performance ©Brady Peters |
