A Futureperfect Talk on various approaches to computational optimization of architecture - the tools we are building, the tools we are not, what is going on out there, and what's next, powered by Last Meter®.


The fantasies of architectural optimization tools are fast running into not just the technical limits of what computers can theoretically do with the problem as complex as built design - but the needs and expectations of the clients, and the practical limits of hooking tools together.


John (BASE2), Clifton (TestFit), and André share experiences, perspectives and outlook on what's going on and what's next.


Maybe more technical than some might need, but at least: André confirms his name is Agi not AGI, Clifton says he is "the leader on computational design" and then claims he meant is "a leader", and John tells us that language translation software is not like design software.
