Thanks a lot for this concise video about computational design. I will share it with my students at CTU in Prague :) To answer your question: for me computational design is a strategy of thinking that looks at the built environment in terms of processes, agency, and communication, applying algorithms and principles from computer science.
There’s a big debate if parametric design should be considered Computational Design. In parametric design is working with parameters in a defined range, thus you are not computing anything. Also you can do parametric design even with AutoCAD using dynamic blocks, but we all agree that CAD is not CD.
Parametric design isn't the best term for this subject but that's the term that's stuck. The main thing is that the design is generated using a procedure and a nice feature of this procedure is that it can be tweaked with parameters. I prefer the term procedural modeling.
My son is bachelor of architect and want to do Masters degree in Computational design and Architectural and Building Sciences/Technology from Newyork institute of technology. Can anybody help me whether he is going to take right decision or wrong decision ?
I congratulate you on your effort, but I am not sure I can watch the whole thing. You are complicating too much. And it looks like you are seeing (or showing) from an architects angle. Why? BIM? Who needs to even mention BIM? "Strategies"? Computers and data to "inform" thoughtful design decisions? Why do architects often like to use buzzwords or use literary gymnastics to showcase their work? To feel more important than they are? Keep it simple guys! Ok back to CD. Do you know what it is? Computational design is...ready? It's algorithmic design. Ta-da!!! Two words definition. If you need more words....it's geometry generated by algorithms (by "software logic", if algorithms its too hard to understand). Done :) Next question?

What a great video! I also liked your humor. Thanks
Please also release MOOC courses
most underrated video.... amazing content kudos
Very concise and apt
Wonderful video, And explained amazingly.
Hello, thanks for very well explanation on computational designing, @ could you suggest good books ?
great videos thank you very much. Enjoy watching them all :)
Thank you. Wonderful Work.
Very informative. Thank you.
Amazing. Well very explained. Thanks for sharing.
Do you think learning cad will help with this computational design?
this was a very helpful video, thank you so much!!

Very informative video , thanks a lot.
Such a nice video. Leaning by heart. What is the question? Amazing topics. Thanks.
BIM is CAD on steroids :D
amazing
Thanks for the explanation!
I loved the technology phrase! is it yours?
on the t-shirt? Cedric Price. john frazer quoted it in "computing without computers" but i do not know when Price said / wrote it though
very helpful thank you
great content!
I am planning to do my Masters in Computational Engineering.
Thanks bruva
I was the like that went from 999 to 1k 🤗
I love your t-shirt ! cedric price ;-)
Cedric price t-shirt ❤
