The workshop Digital Design and Production in Architecture (1-15 July 2016), organized by INDEXLAB – Politecnico di Milano, has the objective to offer a new vision on architecture and its manufacturing methodologies.
The workshop aims at bringing together visionary companies, advanced designers and innovation-oriented students to envision new synergies between academic research, architectural practice and industrial production.
The two-weeks long program is formulated in two complementary modules:
During the first module – Algorithmic Design for Architecture (1-6 July 2016) – participants will be introduced to the tools and methods of computational design through the Grasshopper software platform. The aim is to allow the exploration of algorithmic modeling of nonstandard forms, as well as to understand the implications of fabrication methodologies in the realization of such geometries.
The second module – Digital Construction Design and Robotic Fabrication (7-15 July 2016) – will focus on robotic fabrication methodology, with the final aim of designing and fabricating a full-scale installation integrating innovative materials and efficient “design to production” parametric routines.
Together, the presented modules aim at providing the participants with relevant skills to design complex geometries and define innovative digital production methods for architecture and the construction industry.
Each module is an independent self-contained package. In this way, the workshop offers the possibility to participants to select their attendance for only one of the modules. However, in order to achieve a complete vision over the new methods for design and production of architecture, the workshop faculty recommends the participation to both modules.

When it comes to design, I believe a professional approach is essential. It's just that a lot of people don't know what to do in these situations. And, as I previously indicated, I was able to obtain just beautiful information on these circumstances; you can examine and review in detail the information about the business presentation design company https://reprezent.us/en/presentation-design/ , which can quickly produce a superb design for any presentation. They did an amazing job on a redesign for me. This is an excellent solution for any business. I hope it was helpful to someone and that it will continue to be beneficial.
