The chair deals with research on the development of knowledge in methods, techniques and tools for Performative Computational Design. It deals with complexity in architectural design using its soft aspects, such as perception and experience of space, form, culture, function, aesthetic, social, economic, safety, comfort and the hard aspects such as technical, structural, material, energy and cost-related, construction, sustainability, climate and energy. Both soft and hard aspects should be considered during the conceptual phase of the architectural design. Main research topics of the chair: Computational intelligence in Design and Architecture Design Configuration and Performance assessment Digital Design & Manufacturing Integral-collaborative Design (Building Information Modeling, Building Assembly Modeling, Building Optimization Modeling)
