Aedas R&D Awarded RIBA Commendation | Aedas | 所有消息及活动 | 7/12/2010 | 7/12/2010

Aedas R&D Computational Design and Research Group was awarded a commendation under the ‘RIBA President’s Awards for Outstanding Professional Practice-located Research’ category for their research entitled Open Framework for Spatial Simulation: the computation of design knowledge for architectural and urban spaces.

The judges commented: "This paper makes a strong case for the work of the Aedas design research lab which is experimenting with devising and using computer software to develop design work. Many other Research Units into Computational Design might exist in the world, but this one has a ‘local’ character and a particular story, which roots it in the English history of computation in architecture, and makes it both original and specific.”

Aedas R&D’s methodology focuses on new ways of working with software that has traditionally been associated with form generation and parametric design. Aedas has developed a wide range of applications that graphically interpret the computational work. These have been significant in communicating the efficiency of the new technology and enabling its assimilation by anyone on the design team as well as clients or public bodies such as planning authorities.

The winners were presented with awards at the annual RIBA President's Medals Awards ceremony held on 1 December 2010.
