Foreword
Now in its third edition, the Design Modelling Symposium Berlin constitutes a platform for dialogue on experimental practice and research within the field of computationally informed architectural design. Contemporary architectural production employs an increasing number of computational tools that undergo continuous proliferation of functions and expand their role within the design process. CAD/CAM technologies have matured into applications with increasingly user-friendly programme structures and an efficient exchange between various analytical tools. Computational geometry enables the design and manufacturing of complex surface configurations, a capacity beyond the repertoire of analog architectural practices constrained by the limitations of descriptive geometry. CAD/CAM technologies have been used successfully to achieve novel architectural expression by enabling digital geometry to drive digital fabrication processes. These innovations that have changed the work flow and design approach of a wide range of architectural practices and within academia. Yet in parallel to these advances, limitations have become apparent. In many cases the relationship between design idea and computational tool seems reversed. The resulting buildings appear as reductionist materialization of the possibili
