SF Computational Design Institute

Buildings take 40% of our society's energy budget and create our scenery. Computational architectural tools have been explored and developed for decades. Still, architecture schools don’t teach them and architecture firms don’t practice end to end use of design technology. We are working to improve tools, curricula and proactive to streamline architectural practice to improve the quality of work and reduce the negative impact of buildings. We are a group of Visual Programming enthusiasts that meet once a month in San Francisco. The objective of the groups is to foster the exchange of innovative workflow, explore visual programming ideas, share case studies of Computational Design based examples applied to real world problems, and bring together a pool of local Computational Design users. In 2020, the group merged with AIASF Design Technology Committee. For more information, please visit https://aiasf.org/member-services/committees/design-technology-committee/
