Title of presentation: Mastering the Art of 1:1 - From Design Computation to Built Forms

Synopsis

The lecture aims to explore the transformative journey from the concept stage to delivery, and from the integrated computational design process to the realization of architectural visions, emphasizing on the significance of detailing and the 1:1 scale. The presentation intends to demonstrate this journey primarily through Lusail Towers in Qatar, showcasing the evolution from concept stage to completion. Key features will encompass a focus on 1:1 mock-ups and details, the incorporation of innovative building material techniques like cold-bent façade elements, material experimentation and selection process, and the exploration of other distinctive design features through detailing.
