MPDA Open Lectures
UPCSchool Master's Degree Parametric Design in Architecture
Dr. Dragos Naicu
This lecture will attempt to show how knowledge of geometry is still the best foundation for design in the age of computing and is actually the common denominator that lies at the basis of all design. Looking at built examples as well as taking inspiration from natural forms, concepts of geometry are introduced to help in our understanding of shells, gridshells and other special structural systems that rely on their shape in order to perform.
