Modelling complexity: how the digital expands the material
11.03.2015
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
Computation challenges our material traditions. Rather than understanding materials as categorised and static – the computation and calibration of material behaviour allows us to understand and design for the performative aspects of materials.
In this lecture Mette will show recent work from CITA's (Centre for Information Technology and Architecture) portfolio. She will present research into computational design with focus on material performance questioning how computational strategies such as learning algorithms and multi-scalar material modelling can provide new models for thinking our design space.
Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen is an architect working with digital technologies. Her research centres on the relationship between crafts and technology framed through 'Digital Crafting' as way of questioning how computation, code and fabrication challenge architectural thinking and material practices. Her work is practice lead and through projects such as The Rise, Shadow Play, Thicket, Strange Metabolisms and Vivisection she investigates the design and realisation of a behavioural space.
Mette is professor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, where she heads CITA.
