topostruct is a program for structural topology optimization written by sawako kaijima and michalatos panagiotis.  it’s development was influenced by the ideas and methods discussed in the book “topology optimization, theory, methods and applications” written by m.p. bendsoe and o. sigmund.

we have been asked to present at this weeks smart geometry workshop in sydney alongside sarah benton and damien butler representing the digital stream at the university of sydney.  under the title ‘composite environments’ we will be discussing our research work both in academia and practice on behalf of urban future worldwide.  the event aims to showcase work from academics and practitioners who have an interest in rule based design processes.  the rest of the event will be a series of workshops using bentley’s generative components.

the event is free BYO laptop is required and will be held on the 10th and 11th of february 2010 at level, 1 studio 1 square house, unsw built enviroment of sydney, the university of new south wales, sydney nsw, 2052

after a number of years of bentley system’s generative components dominating the parametric design circuit within schools; workshops and symposiums, the smart geometry sessions have now expanded their field of reference to include the intuitive Rhino 3d parametric add-on grasshopper.

the annual symposium / workshop week  is operating out of TU-Delft and will bring together some of the most creative and experienced tutors internationally to solve design / computational papers submitted by academic and professional designers.

sessions will run during nov 27-29 (‘09) at TU_Delft (NL).
further information can be accessed through the smart geometry site.
