Imagine a future where architects can design the way they are used to today but get additional expert support from computational systems. Can an integrated digital design assistant support architects while modeling and sketching - assisting them seamlessly like an expert looking over their shoulder?
This future is the future vision of the CDP // Collaborative Design Platform research group at the Chair of Architectural Informatics in the TU Munich School of Engineering and Design focuses on the direct, seamless integration of digital tools into the creative design process.
Founded in 2010, our team conducts research in the direct field of tension between intuitive human-machine interfaces, gamification methods, and artificial intelligence in urban planning and architectural design. The core of our research is an interactive architectural and urban design platform that serves as a seamless interface between established physical tools and interactive digital tools. In this way, the CDP // Collaborative Design Platform supports decision-makers with the calculation and presentation of objective criteria at a very early stage.
This lecture will present an overview of the CDP research work and the state-of-the-art tools developed for future architecture practice.
Dr. -ing. Gerhard Schubert is the Director of Research at the Department of Architecture and Senior Researcher at the Chair for Architectural Informatics at Technische Universität München.
