Joe Brennan will share insights drawn from his extensive professional and academic background on the topic of computational design. He will be showcasing its practical applications through a series of case studies from recent KPF projects, including the iconic One Vanderbilt. These real-world examples will shed light on how computational design techniques have been effectively employed. He will also give us a glimpse of what the future might hold for this exciting field. The presentation will also discuss how computational methods can play a role in improving our urban spaces.
