Join the American Institute of Architects New York's (AIANY) Emerging New York Architects Committee (ENYA), the Future of Practice Committee, and a distinguished body of global computational design leaders on Saturday, November 6, for a one-day symposium and workshop to explore how computational thinking can be used to solve design problems.
In our morning session, cutting-edge innovators will reflect on how computational thinking has influenced their work. Afterwards, workshop tables led by the speakers will conceive of computational solutions to complex, topical problems. Symposium attendees will be empowered to approach the impending future of computation in architecture with confidence.
Event format: Hybrid (both virtual and in-person). Proof of vaccination (for those 12 and over) and masking are required in order to attend in person. Food and beverages will be served. Masks are recommended when not actively consuming food and beverages.
