A *geodesic* is often confused with a “shortest path" on a surface, but in general a geodesic can be any path that locally minimizes length—or equivalently, that exhibits no tangential acceleration. Check out this video for a visual intro to geodesics: youtube.com/watch?v=uojNGb…

#Richmondsurface rationalization samples part of the #digitalfabrication course for planar strategies during the online first semester. Made with care, some singularities, and tonnes of #Kangaroo2 from Daniel Piker docs.google.com/presentation/d…

Today we start the new series of Open Lectures on Form and Structure, welcoming John Ochsendorf: Geometry and Construction in Masonry: Learning from Guastavino #lightweight #architecture #form

Next Wednesday 27th, we'll have the honour to meet Daniel Davis: Computational Design Beyond Geometry, starting the Architecture and Computation Lecture Series.

Very excited with the first professional showcase "Forward alumni presentation" Featuring our beloved alumni: Joshua Ogren/Hufft, Giacomo Gasbarri /Rimond, Adrià Marco/Bellapart, Marc Serra/Bollinger+Grohmann & Christian Dimitri/e-verse. Tomorrow wednesday 25th - 16.00 CET

Join us today at 4pm in the main Theater YATSUZASHI Akimi for an inspiring lecture by Francesc Arbós from Bellapart Group. Discover the art of engineering and crafting bespoke light structures and façades!✨ #Engineering #Architecture #Innovation

today at 4pm at Seminari2-ETSAV-UPC UPC School we'll welcome Ada Yvars, principal at MYAA Architects. She will lecture on their Parametric Design practices at their office.

On next Thursday the 10th of April we'll meet Matthew Tam from Bollinger+Grohmann lecturing about the The Art of Parametric Structures

We had the pleasure of hosting Simon Vorhammer for a lecture titled Computational Scope. From Foster + Partners to CNC-milled panels and algorithmic jewelry, Simon shared his approach to blending structure, material, and computation. Available to watch : youtube.com/watch?v=aw0P7I…
