Abstract

This project focuses on the role of computational geometry within computer-aided architectural design and construction workflows, i.e. computational geometry as a mediating device between architectural, engineering and construction logics. While the scale of a dining pavilion is relatively modest, the intention is to utilise this research for wider application in larger constructionscale projects. In this regard, the project operates within a tight time-bound, multiple-stakeholder, collaborative and bespoke production pipeline, as typically necessitated by architectural projects.
