Modernising Engineering Design Processes with Computational Tools for Architecture

from CDFAM Computational Design Symposium · host Duann Scott

Recorded at CDFAM Computational Design Symposium, NYC 2024Presentation AbstractThis presentation explores our innovative approach to converting traditional design tools and workflows into comprehensive computational systems that enable automation, optimisation, and efficient data handling. Focusing on a complex but outdated tool for designing refrigeration systems, we established robust standards and methodologies for this transformation. By analysing existing tools, spreadsheets, and workflows in collaboration with discipline experts, we derived logical frameworks and mapped every operation and data variable into a graph database. This process ensures modular function reuse and comprehensive tracking of variable usage throughout the tools. The presentation will highlight our methodologies, the resulting standards, and the significant advancements in design automation and optimisationSpeaker BioSean Turner, P.E., serves as the Director of Innovation at Henderson Engineers.

Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation. This knowledge exchange workshop was part of the four months Res Business Model Business Stories All advertisements are placed at the beginning of each episode, ensuring you experience Business Model without interruptions. No mid-episode advertising cuts, no breaks in our business coverage. Just press play, and let the business insights unfold uninterrupted.When entrepreneurs dream and business leaders execute, empires are built. Business Model is where business becomes essential conversation, where bussiness strategies transform into actionable insights, and where every concept—from canvas bussiness model frameworks to business casual attire etiquette—receives the analysis it deserves. This is where business for sale opportunities meet starting a small bussiness realities, where bussiness is bussiness philosophy converges with practical execution.We explore everything that makes business succeed. From breaking bussiness news today stories to analyzing business proposal techniques, from discussing business cards design impact to examining business casual me Ideas in Play Shareable.fm Do you have an idea inside of you, screaming to be let out? Have you ever doubted whether you have what it takes to share such a big, bold idea? Over our lives, we're told no so many times that many of us start to believe that we need permission to dream big and to believe our big idea is even possible or worth pursuing.We think it's time that changed. We decided to look at everything that makes us feel so amazing when we play. This includes things like safety, support, and fun. We crafted all of these elements to design an event called the Play Day Summit. On this podcast, Ideas in Play, we take the same ideas used at our event and discuss it tin the context of different careers. The goals is that we help people realize how to escape the trap of playing small in our lives and careers.
