At the conference, KPF’s Design Technology team will be delivering talks and leading workshops across urban data analysis, BIM toolmaking, and AI-driven fabrication.
Symposium Talk | How New York City Can Add 350,000 Homes
Friday, November 13, 2:10 PM EST | Cornell Tech Verizon Education Center
KPF Global Director of Design Technology Luc Wilson will demonstrate how computational analysis is reshaping housing in New York City. His presentation will explore two projects built on the same method: test-fitting new zoning rules against every tax lot in the city. The first example maps where the new City of Yes zoning code allows ancillary dwelling units and where they are physically buildable. The second applies the same approach to NYCHA campuses to help the Mayor’s Office identify underutilized zoning floor area citywide, where housing infill could be built.

Workshop | Reinforming Intent: Tracing AI Inside the Fabrication Loop
Wednesday, November 11, 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST | Cornell Tech Verizon Education Center
Senior Computational Designer Joe Brennan, Senior Digital Fabrication Specialist Darwin Diaz, and Environmental Performance Software Developer Quoc Dang will lead this workshop alongside Zahner’s Vahid Koliyaee and Ethan Kerber. The session will explore what happens when fabrication becomes a feedback loop, by giving a machine vision, computation n, and the ability to adjust its actions in real time as it fabricates.
