Centre for IT & Arch

Delighted to share our 2nd volume examining the future of the information model. #CITA_ComplexModelling unfolds over 5 chapters, 12 projects & critical essays. Will post glimpses each week. #OpenAccess PDF here: researchgate.net/publication/34… #Hardback here: amazon.ca/Complex-Modell…

The book Cognitive Robotics, with our chapter on Swarm Robotics, is out today! @w9hby @SwarmDynamics @MarcoDorigo_ULB @IRIDIA_ULB @mitpress

Be sure to check out the chapter on #Swarm Robotics, by @mktheinrich, @w9hby, @MarcoDorigo_ULB, and @SwarmDynamics, in the upcoming book #Cognitive #Robotics from MIT Press @mitpress. To be released May 17th! mitpress.mit.edu/books/cognitiv… 🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖

With sections exploring communication, simulation & materialisation. Explores digital & physical prototyping & testing that challenges traditional linear construction methods of incremental refinement @BartlettArchUCL @CITAcph ow.ly/YLJx50BUaTl

#CITA_ComplexModelling – #Perspectives “Circular thinking, feedback and the emergence of a bio-based material paradigm necessitate new methods for capturing the complexity of material systems...” #OpenAccess rebrand.ly/openaccess #Hardback rebrand.ly/hardback

Deadline extension (final) : July 16! Join us virtually at SOCO 2021 🤖🏗️ @SwarmDynamics @mktheinrich

#CITA_ComplexModelling – chapter 5: #TopologicalModelling #Elephoetus - Rethinking Patterns / speculation “Elephoetus explores topological modelling and form finding for planar fabrication.” #OpenAccess rebrand.ly/openaccess #Hardback rebrand.ly/hardback

The result of recent research at @CITAcph: Earlier this week we installed this in @bildmuseet up in Umeå, Sweden for forthcoming the Architectures of Transition exhibition. RawLam develops methods of mapping material qualities against design performance demands.

Very interesting discussions this morning in @CITAcph reviews related to living in a phygital world, spatial analytics, gaming, and co-creation. Thanks for the invite @TamkeMartin @pauldotnicholas! Nice to see you @spilans @metteramsgaardT !
