Evolution In Architectural Design: Form Follows Function 2.0 Futuristic Sci-Fi (printed) buildings are just around the corner. Sculptural projects like Frank Gehry's Disney Concert Hall in LA are just the beginning, and in just a few decades cityscapes will look entirely different. An explosion in powerful 3D modeling software and fabrication is enabling the realization of alien looking architectural forms which until now have been restricted to the digital realm. This talk will explore the architectural design process and now real possibility of buildings whose form and design are the result of a symbiotic relationship with their context and the environment. You will see how new technology and software enable the application of genetic fitness tests and simulated evolution to the design process has opened the door to a monumental shift in architecture.
