14.03.2011, 14:00, Daniel Aliaga @ CAAD, HPZ F Chair for Information Architecture, ETH, and Associate Professor of Computer Science at Purdue University. www.ia.arch.ethz.ch/ Computational Cities: Geometrical Modeling for Urban Design and Simulation. This lecture addresses the growing desire to create geometrical models that design better, smarter, and more efficient cities. Cities are inherently very complex to model because they are simultaneously dense and large, spanning... Read More

09.02.2011, 14:00, Michael Weinstock @ HCI J 4 www.architectureofemergence.com Metabolism of the City Geometry has always been the principal mathematical means of describing the form of a city, persisting from the plans of ancient cities through to many contemporary studies. In recent decades there has been an increasing interest in the application to urban analysis of mathematical techniques that are more commonly used in biological studies of the metabolism of individual animals...
