Programming Architecture - What is your profession?

Create your own plug-ins - we can teach you how:

In this video we are discussing the emergence of a new profession between the fields of architecture and structural design.

Dr. Milos Dimcic, working for Knippers Helbig Advanced Engineering, single-handedly wrote the software for the largest parametrically generated facade and structure in the world (at that moment) of the new Shenzhen Airport Terminal, designed by M. Fuksas. Working at the same office, he was also responsible for the development of the EXPO Axis 6 funnel-like steel grid structures.

In 2011, he opened his own office - Programming Architecture. Since then he has been working on numerous interesting and large scale projects, introducing different methods of optimization and automated geometry generation.

Computational Design & Optimization truly brings a whole new range of possibilities.

once again, thanks for the great lecture on caad futures. very interesting work you developed, and very inspiring.

I am learning programming, from an architecture background. Which software is best for this, Dynamo or grasshopper?

By the way...your past video about apartment plan generation by software is nothing but idioty ! Because you just talked about a very specific case which is the very standard apartment shape.

What are you trying to solve or are you just adding more complexity to get paid for what you making, how does it help humanity, did you go and test in area that needs rapid solution like ppl who had to face environmental or war crises? Show us on that scale what this new thing can do instead of waiting for some billionaire to ask you to build something for them, what is your ethic as human behind this, is it self serving for architecture for humanity

so, thats what you tell a woman in a bar when she asks you what do you do for leaving?

Now i understand what you wanna say...you HATE Architects !!! All you are trying to prouve in your videos is that techcnologie overcome architects thinking and Architects are people from the past...I think you should focus on your engineering preferences and leave us, architects doing our job. Thank you ....Mr Einstein !!!

[ghassankanaan]

I suggest you modify your channel into in engineering one. And stop interfering in our archtitectural way of thinking and doing...We architects know well how to accomplish our work !
