COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN & COMPLEX MODELLING
Computation Design & Complex Modelling studies the increasing involvement of digital tools with design related fields and attempt at developing methodologies and techniques to analyze, simulate, fabricate architecture. Sinergical links between physical and virtual environments are deepened throughout the implementation of advanced design tools and custom-built applicatives. Computational design-thinking allow for higher control over models through parametric strategies, and expand the design potential of architects towards high-performance systems.
MATERIAL SYSTEMS & EMERGENT TECHNOLOGIES
Materials Systems explores a renewed engagement with materials, traditional and innovative, able to re-merging design and making of architecture. Thanks to the implementation of computational tactics material behaviour can be meaningfully implemented in the design process, considering its performative characteristics, fabrication constraints and the implementation into novel technological systems.

DIGITAL FABRICATION
Digital Fabrication explores the ecosystem made by advanced fabrication tools, such as CNC machines, Robotics and 3d printing. The research intends to extend the role of design into the fabrication of building components and the creation of specifically taylored machining process, overcoming the traditional subdivision between representation and production, between design and construction.
BIM & INTEROPERABILITY
Building Information Modeling studies how digital models can support the integrated implementation of complex projects and provide a framework for collaborating in a multi-disciplinary environment that brings together all the services connected to Architectural, Engineering and Construction industries. The research operates either on ex-novo buildings and existing ones, seeking for going beyond the limitations of built-in-objects and improving the software interoperability.
