The 2008 SmartGeometry Conference featured a day long agenda focused on advanced computational and parametric design. Industry leaders discussed the issues of design, technology, and methodology through their presentations. Parametric design tools and consequential manufacturing technology are allowing new forms of architectural and structural expression which are changing radically the world of the built environment. Sessions also included a selection of highlights from the four day workshop that preceded the conference — providing a wonderful immediacy to the issues and concepts discussed.
The SmartGeometry Group is dedicated to educating building professionals in the application of advanced 3D design tools and computational design. The work of its members has resulted in some of the most admired buildings of the 21st century.

GenerativeComponents Workshops »
The Workshop was held February 29 – March 3, 2008 at the Arabella Sheraton and consisted of four days of hands-on activity, with tutors drawn from practicing professionals from the industry. The goals of the workshop were to explore in depth what can be done with computational design tools by the attendees. It created a critical forum based on professionals who actually practice the skill of parametric and computational geometry.
This full day event which was held March 4, 2008 at the Arabella Sheraton provided an extraordinary opportunity to learn what SmartGeometry alumnae are now achieving in practice and provided a unique networking opportunity for those directly involved in computational design.
