| summary |
Nowadays, sustainability is in the agenda of most of the countries and international organizations. Among
the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, Goal 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities
sets specific targets for cities to adopt solutions for inclusion, safety, resource efficiency, resilience, mitigation
and adaptation to climate change. Furthermore, it is increasingly evident among designers and researchers
that design methods and solutions doing less harm or with a neutral effect on the environment are not
sufficient anymore. A holistic approach is necessary in designing for a positive effect on climate change,
resource depletion, human health and natural systems as a whole to develop sustainable architecture design
solutions as well as regenerative and resilient cities.
Computational design allows us to develop workflows considering the built environment, humans and
natural systems as a whole, by integrating simulations such as climatic, environmental, materiality, energy,
behavior and use, and performances such as energy balance, usability, structural, fabrication, comfort, health,
and costs, at multiple scales. The symposium and workshops reflected and experimented new concepts,
methods, and solutions to create a positive impact on the urban environment and the city, but also on humans
and the natural environment, taking advantage of the potential of computational design to integrate
performance-driven and simulation-based workflows.
Furthermore, the objective of the symposium was to explore the potential of computational design in
proposing a new architectural paradigm through performance and simulation. Particular emphasis has been
given to research showing innovative holistic, multi-disciplinary, multi-domain, multi-scale, and multi-
objective approaches to guide and support the scientific and design community at large to design sustainable
cities and communities. |
