Design
held at Delft University of Technology. Approximately 30 experts,
considered to be leading figures in the interdisciplinary field of
Free-Form Design, were invited to debate the direction of
technologies and practices that are deemed as influential in setting
the agenda for future research, education and practice.
This international colloquium brought together intellectuals and
practitioners in the field of
architecture, engineering, manufacturing and academics; with the aim of
establishing an international network, combining expertise and
knowledge from both practice and research carried out on Free-Form
Design in Architecture.
The goal is to provide insight into the potential of design,
engineering and development / realization processes, as well as
their limitations, and to provide guidance for the wider
practice and research
community for future development and research in Free-From
Design. Larry presented a paper entitled:
