In computational design, we develop and apply novel computational methods that support the generation, exploration, optimization, and fabrication of design options. We create iterative workflows with various levels of semi-automation and/or interaction that inform design decisions from building component to district scale. We apply numerical and Artificial Intelligence techniques, and (robotic) digital fabrication methods, to inform and test design decisions. Our methods enable collaborative workflows that join human and digital agencies in decisions and co-creation processes, with a (more than) human-created approach.

In geomatics, we focus on spatial data and infrastructure for geographic data modelling and dissemination, driving paradigm shifts towards various-scale geo–information and point cloud representations, and advancing the geo-information infrastructure to solve complex social, industrial and management problems in the built environment. Examples of applications include land administration information, navigation, and spatial simulations.
