Title: Proceedings of the Design Modelling Symposium Berlin 2009
Description: "The Symposium sees itself as an international interdisciplinary platform of designers, developers and scientists of the disciplines architecture, design and engineering. In all three areas the fundamental technological principals [principles] of designing, planning and building have changed radically. CAD (computer aided design) and CAM (computer aided manufacturing) are nowadays an integral part in concept and planning processes. FEM (finite element method) helps in analysing and optimising more and more complex structures. It is now possible to simulate and explore complex coherences between material, structure and climate. New materials open up the development of more effective constructions, new spatial and material experiences."--Introduction.
