"It's like the professional photographer who snaps lots of photos in seconds and selects just one. This software produces numerous design variants quickly, yielding outstanding results."

Global Financial Markets Trading Center, Willard J. Walker Hall
Join us for a hands-on exploration of computational design. Software designers and architects will show you how to use GenerativeComponentsTM, a parametric, associative design software that supports both conventional and groundbreaking architectural design.
The workshop will offer two sections: one for beginners, and one for those with some experience in computational design. Open to designers, researchers, students and faculty members; application required.
This event is modeled after the internationally successful cross-disciplinary tutorials presented by the SmartGeometry Group and has been developed by Brad Workman, who holds the Twenty-First Century Chair in Integrated Practice at the University of Arkansas.
The workshop is hosted by the University of Arkansas School of Architecture and Bentley Systems, Inc. The workshop is free of charge and is limited to 25 participants.
Application deadline is April 15, 2009.
