The Past, Present & Future: An Online Interactive Conference With Global Frontiers. Two-Day Online Conference with Live Presentations, Tutorials, Interactive Sessions, Live Mentorship & Panel Discussions. A collaborative initiative by ParametricArchitecture (PA) with rat[LAB]EDUCATION, DesignMorphine, A>T
Computational Design: NEXT is a collaborative initiative by some of the global frontiers of Computational Design to open up an Online Learning platform as a comprehensive ONLINE CONFERENCE comprising of discussions, dialogues, tutorials and mentorship to a global audience through thought-provoking and meaningful dialogues curated by ParametricArchitecture (PA), one of the leading media platforms focusing on Computational Design and its various subsets.
The first iteration of online conference CD NEXT 1.0 took place on 13-14 June 2020 and brought forth all collaborators on a single platform in a power-packed 2-day dialogue with live tutorials and mentorship for designers for an immersive learning and knowledge-building experience.
CD NEXT 2.0 took the next step on 26-27 September 2020, taking cues from the inaugural conference and expanded to bring forth collaborative workshops, guest lectures on Advanced Computational Design, showcase of inter-disciplinary approaches by renowned experts and personal interactions through panel discussions revolving around Emerging Technologies in Design.
NEXT 3.0 takes another step to delve into new age design technologies by global advocates of technology and is scheduled to take place on 23-24 January 2021 (Saturday & Sunday) as a 2-day conference with workshops, panel discussions, tech demonstrations and discussions.
When: 23rd & 24th January 2021 (Saturday & Sunday)
Where: ClickMeeting platform, hosted by PA

Collaborative Workshop (Michael Pryor + Sushant Verma) – Bridge Design – Using Grasshopper3d + MAYA
12:15 – 13:45 GMT
Duration – 90 Minutes
Michael Pryor & Sushant Verma would run a collaborative cross-platform workshop that shuffles Computational Design methods from one technique to another, integrating to build a Bridge through multiple techniques of computational overlaps. Each tutor shall build upon the programme based on rational decision-making aided by computational tools, right from seating design, sightline optimization, structural skin design, environmental design integration, panelization, etc. as a part of an integrated and collaborative process. Real-time collaboration would be demonstrated between the tutors and with workshop participants to design a complex bridge using computational design methods. Taking cues from multi-scalar workshops taught in NEXT 1.0 and NEXT 2.0, this workshop transcends into new spatial experimentation for designers.
