CDFAM

Computational Design Symposium

Berlin, May 7-8 2024

AXICA Convention Center : Pariser Platz 3

CDFAM Computational Design Symposium Series brings together leaders in the fields of design, engineering and advanced manufacturing to explore emerging technologies, approaches to computational, generative and simulation driven design for at all scales.

CDFAM Berlin provides a unique opportunity to learn about cutting-edge technologies and techniques and to network with leading academics and professionals in the field including computational design experts from at an in person, two day networking event.

Where: AXICA, Berlin, Germany

When: May 7-8, 2024

Registration: Open Now

Speakers include experts from BMW, Samsung, Arup, Altair, Carbon, Zaha Hadid, BIG, nTop, McNeel, Siemens, DTU, University of Bristol, Royal Haskoning DHV, New Balance, Rafinex, Cognitive Design Systems, Spherene, Synera and more.

In 2024 the agenda for CDFAM is structured to cover the interdisciplinary nature of computational design. The event is organized around two foundational frameworks: ‘Scales of Design’ and ‘Dimensions of Execution.’

See the FUll Schedule

Scales of Design:

Micro: Focus on material-level design considerations
Meso: Exploration of metamaterials and structures
Macro: Discussion on topology optimization, surface and parts
Mega: Exploration of architectural system design methodologies

Dimensions of Execution:

Academic: Cutting-edge research in design science
Algorithm: Software tools and algorithms enabling advanced design
Application: Real-world engineering challenges addressed and explained
Automation: Scaling design to production for volume and/or diversity

Through these frameworks, attendees will gain insights into how computational design principles and methodologies traverse across different scales and various execution contexts.
