Dimensionality reduction for parametric design exploration (2016)
Book Chapter

In architectural design, parametric models often include numeric parameters that can be adjusted to explore different design options. The resulting design space can be easily displayed to the user if the number of parameters is low, for example using... Read More about Dimensionality reduction for parametric design exploration.

The Ongreening Pavilion (2015)
Book Chapter

This paper describes the work of Ramboll Computational Design during the design and construction of the Ongreening Pavilion timber gridshell. The structural approach involved form-finding bending-active timber laths, connected at intersections to form... Read More about The Ongreening Pavilion.

Thinking Topologically at Early Stage Parametric Design (2013)
Book Chapter

Parametric modelling tools have allowed architects and engineers to explore complex geometries with relative ease at the early stage of the design process. Building designs are commonly created by authoring an abstract graph representation that gener... Read More about Thinking Topologically at Early Stage Parametric Design.

The Generator 2.0 (2013)
Book Chapter

It has been over 30 years since the original conception of the 'Generator' by Cedric Price. A project that in his own words was ?little to do with problem solving, rather creating the desirable conditions and opportunities hitherto thought impossible... Read More about The Generator 2.0.

The TRADA pavilion: A timber plate funicular shell (2013)
Book Chapter

This paper describes the design and construction of the TRADA (Timber Research and Development Association) Pavilion by Ramboll Computational Design. The design process combined a zero-length spring funicular form-finding approach with a planar polyg... Read More about The TRADA pavilion: A timber plate funicular shell.

Associative spatial networks in architectural design: Artificial cognition of space using neural networks with spectral graph theory (2011)
Book Chapter

This paper looks at a new way of incorporating unsupervised neural networks in the design of an architectural system. The approach involves looking the whole lifecycle of a building and its coupling with its environment. It is argued that techniques...
