Studio Symbiosis is a Stuttgart-based architectural, master planning, and interior design firm that works on projects of all sizes and sectors. The Studio will lecture at the Computational Design: NEXT 14.0 conference about its philosophy to create integrated design solutions that incorporate amalgamated, efficient, robust, and long-lasting designs that result in performative architecture. The practice’s research and intent is to use performance as a design driver to achieve Sustainable and Smart buildings. This integration of performance-based aesthetics can be found all around us in nature. Nature has tested and evolved these systems through an iterative process to produce robust and elegant design solutions. The complexity of the various subsystems is selectively articulated to generate the final design solution. The practice believes that intelligent design solutions driven by performance are possible using computational tools.
