Parametric Architecture’s Computational Design: NEXT 6.0 digs deep into the futrue

You’d be forgiven if, upon hearing the terminology quad-based remeshing, ngon-based meshes, open topologies, and tropisms, you wondered if you had been slipped the Zoom link to presentations of thesis dissertations at the ETH Zurich and not Parametric Architecture’s Computational Design: NEXT 6.0 conference. While we may begrudgingly add another webcast event to our calendars, the sixth iteration of CD Next brought together a number of worthwhile talks and workshops with plenty of useful discussion on the role and practice of computation in architecture today.

Taking place over October 2 and 3, CD Next featured eight speaker presentations…
