Integrating Innovations in Architecture (invited lecture)

This presentation focused on innovations in architecture, new materials and design methods, advances in computational design practices and innovations in building technologies. It is based on Dr. Aksamija’s recent book, Integrating Innovation in Architecture: Design, Methods and Technology for Progressive Research and Practice. The presentation discussed why is it necessary to embrace technological changes to improve design processes, products and services, as well as the recent developments in building technologies, materials, computational design and integration of research with innovative design. Moreover, integration of research in design practices was discussed. Several research projects conducted by Dr. Aksamija were discussed to illustrate relationships between design, technology and applications of architectural research in practice
