Welcome Note & Set-up

12:00 PM – 12:15 PM GMT

Collaborative Workshop on Cross-platform techniques in Computational Design: NEXT 2.0 (Arturo Tedeschi, Michael Pryor, Sushant Verma) 12:30 PM – 4:30 PM GMT Duration –  4 Hours Arturo Tedeschi, Michael Pryor & Sushant Verma would run a collaborative cross-platform workshop that shuffles Computational Design methods from one technique to another, integrating to build a Soccer Stadium through multiple techniques of computational overlaps. Each tutor shall build upon the programme based on rational decision-making aided by computational tools, right from seating design, sightline optimization, structural skin design, environmental design integration, panelization, etc. as a part of an integrated and collaborative process on Rhino 3D. Real-time collaboration would be demonstrated between the tutors and with workshop participants to design a complex stadium using computational design methods. Taking cues from multi-scalar workshops taught in NEXT 1.0, this workshop transcends into new spatial experimentation for designers.

Track 05: Guest Lecture 03 – Refik Anadol (Lecture + Q&A) 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM GMT Duration –  1 Hour
