Introduction of the workshop:

Generative design and the different integrated design and analysis tools oriented to architectural design offer a wide range of options for its application.

Facade design, in particular, presents us with the opportunity to articulate climatic, engineering, material, and aesthetic aspects into one of the determining elements in the habitability and the urban integration of the architectural object into the design.

In this short 2-hour workshop, we will focus on processes that allow us, through integrated generative design and analysis tools, to carry out a contextual reading and determine specific geometric and material conditions for a facade.

This workshop will explore the articulated use of tools such as climatic analysis, modular replication, and transformation, and we will review some design control processes considering future phases of design, construction, and assembly.

What You’ll Learn?

Learn how to integrate generative design tools for effective façade design.

Understand the relationship between façade design, climate, and context.

Explore modular design strategies and material transformations.

Discover design and control processes for façade development.

Roberto Arguelles

Biography

Robertos's experience comprises methodologies and techniques associated with generative design and digital fabrication for urban, architectural and industrial design, as well with media arts. His work consist on research, teaching and project collaborations in México, Spain, USA, India and the Philippines with firms like DUNN lightweight architecture, GG Architects, NUDES in the Classroom and The Bittertang Farm. He founded XenoLab in 2019 to further his research and works, focusing in the morphogenetic potential of the digital technologies applied in design, fabrication and analysis, in order to search for new means and alternatives to achieve complexity. In 2021 he becomes part of the organizing team for Digital Futures in Spanish, commited for the open and free education in the arts, architecture and design around the world, specially in the Spanish-Speaker sphere. In 2022 he joined Kinetica Group llc. computational design team, developing solutions for digital fabrication and production, through the creation of generative algorithms for optimization and automation processes. In 2024 he joins the academic and research team of the degree in architecture at the Tonalá University Center of the University of Guadalajara (U de G), as well as the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (ITESM), where he teaches architectural design and digital technologies for design and manufacturing.

Would love to see more indeph and explanation about other projects showcased in the pictures.

Nice Course, it would have been better if the presenter would have creater a some GH files that explain what he intended to explain that had a simpler visual aspect related to his work, and thus avoided the spegahetti code
