User Defined Software – NXT BLD London, June 2019
The past has shown how the evolution of software influenced architects in their design and obviously manufacturers in their product spectrum. This talk puts an emphasis on the workflow influenced interaction design for software development, to unchain the user’s needs. Starting a journey from digital fabrication over machine control, towards user interaction it highlights principles for a general approach in software development. Examples show digitally driven roof constructions of the elephant house Zurich over exhibition booths, free software projects and custom software solutions working at Herzog & De Meuron.

NXT BLD is organised by AEC Magazine and brings next generation architecture, engineering and construction technologies to life in an exclusive conference and exhibition. These emerging technologies facilitate new ways of designing, enhancing the use of 3D models, applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) and offering new possibilities in digital fabrication and construction.
NXT BLD 2020 will take place at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre, London on 9 June, in association with Lenovo.
