Lecture by Kristof Crolla
Date: 8/9, 2:30 - 3:30 pm
Location: Obuchi Lab, Room 416
Digital design techniques have
radically expanded the “design solution space” available to architects. The
speed with which the possibilities for "built" architecture expand,
however, is slowing down, in spite of continued advancements in design software
development and the dissemination of evermore user-friendly digital design
tools. The increasing dissociation between virtual and built environments lies
at the foundation of this slowdown. Using case studies from his design
practice, Kristof Crolla will discuss the digital paradigm in the realities of
“contractor space” in order to continue to expand the “buildable design
solution space”.
Kristof Crolla is a licensed
architect, Assistant Professorship in Computational Design at the Chinese
University of Hong Kong, and founding partner of the architecture practice
“Laboratory for Explorative Architecture & Design Ltd.” (LEAD). He studied
and taught at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London
and worked as Lead Architect for Zaha Hadid Architects before moving to Hong
Kong in 2010. He is the recipient of the “Perspective 2012 – 40 under 40”
award.
