Workshop on Geometry in Architecture and Building Design

Wednesday, 21 April 2010

10:00 —16:00
Building 1, Level 4, Room 4212
Organized by: GMSV

Geometry lies at the core of the architectural design process. It is omnipresent, from the initial form-finding stages to the final construction. Modern geometric computing provides a variety of tools for the efficient design, analysis, and manufacturing of complex shapes.

This workshop will bring together researchers from the field of architecture geometry ,  leading sustainability professionals and stakeholders to discuss, debate and share best practice on design, construction and the built environment.
Attendance will provide you with the most recent advances in research & practice and to get the chance to identify and address the most challenging problems. We aim at connecting researchers from architectural and engineering practices, academia and industry.

Talks:

		Advances in Architectural Geometry Prof. Dr. Helmut Pottmann, KAUST
		Recent Projects at Evolute, Advances in Architectural Geometry in Practice Dipl. Ing. Alexander Schiftner, Evolute, Vienna University of Technology
		Exploring Emergent Designs: Creating Simple Animate and Evolutionary Form Using Existing Software Prof. Dr. Khaled Nassar, AUC
		Geometric Potentials of Traditional Architecture of Saudi Arabia Prof. Dr. Hisham Mortada, Dept of Architecture, College of Environmental Design, KAU
		Building with the Bees: An observation of a beehive construction Arch. Ahmad Angawi, Al-Makkiyah al-Madaniyah Institute, Jeddah
