The project was born during the PhD course “Innovative Design and Construction Technologies”, held at Politecnico di Milano and based on Digital Project as design system.

This design concept was developed as brief proposal before Smart Geometry 2010, aiming at giving some suggestion for the development of a small pavilion.

This project represents a small research experiment, focused on the use of Grasshopper as instrument for the development of a parametric and generative masterplan.

Small experiment focused on generative processes applied to digital design. Specific software constitute fundamental aid aiming at exploring new formal configurations.

BUILDING COMPLEX SHAPES AND BEYOND
Milan Politecnico University, Department BEST (Building Environment Science Technology) organized an international conference entitled “Innovative design and construction technologies – Building complex shapes and beyond” at the Faculty of Architecture.

SYNTHESIS OF THE STUDY
The research project described into the previous paper, “Morpho-generative modelling systems”, reached its conclusion with the realization of a parametric software dedicated to architectural planning.

Lucca Film Festival is an important meeting dedicated to the avant-garde cinema and also opened to hybridizations with other artistic forms of communication.

PLANNING IN THE DIGITAL ERA
“Design, as defined by a few prominent theorists, is about virtuality, not actuality. In its conception it is about something vague, indefinite, and uncertain, not necessarily the sudden appearance of a form (for that would be certain) but rather about a combination of thoughts that lead to the inception of a form.”
