The Design Modelling Symposium is an interdisciplinary platform of designers, developers and scientists of the disciplines architecture, design and engineering.
The fundamental technological principals of designing, planning and building have changed radically.
CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) are nowadays an integral part in concept and planning processes.
FEM (Finite Element Method) helps in analysing and optimising more and more complex structures.
It is now possible to simulate and explore complex coherences between material, structure and climate.
New materials open up the development of more effective constructions, new spatial and material experiences.
The Design Modelling Symposium encourages discussion about the target course of this development by exchanging the experiences in appliance of such new technologies.
Rather than the prospects of modelling complex geometries and structures, the main focus lies in new concepts and design strategies emerging from the application of new technologies.
Another emphasis is the discussion of the role of analogue and digital models in the design and planning process as well as questions regarding realisation of complex geometries and construction systems.
