Philippe Block - Computational Design, AI, Compas, Digital Fabrication, 3D-Printing, BRG

We had a deep conversation with Philippe Block, professor and head of the Institute of Technology in Architecture (ITA) at ETH Zurich. He co-leads the Block Research Group (BRG) with Dr. Tom Van Mele, focusing on innovation, computational design, 3D printing, fabrication, and construction of sustainable structures and minimizing construction waste. During our conversation, we talked about BRG, the future of computational design, 3D fabrication, engineering, and teaching methodologies.
