KISDtalk by Eva Papaspyrou

Recent advancements in computational design and artificial intelligence have opened up a realm of innovative possibilities in architecture. This lecture will delve into the nature of computational tools, examining their conventional applications alongside their transformative potential. We will discuss how designers can harness the dynamic capabilities of these tools to create new frameworks for creativity.

The session will showcase a variety of computational tools and workflows, including BIM, AI applications in architectural design, building performance analysis, and alternative uses for creative media. From simulations and complex structures to animations, our tools act as catalysts for pushing boundaries, challenging conventions, and creating spaces where new ideas can grow.
