Following her recent interview with the organization, the KPF Computational Design Specialist will present on foundational methods in computational geometry at the New York symposium.
A core member of KPF’s computational design team, Maddy contributes cutting-edge computational problem-solving to KPF projects throughout their lifetime. “Huge projects like KPF’s require a lot of coordination, optimization, and documentation, so computational design allows us to speed up design decisions, validate them quickly, and proactively anticipate change,” said Maddy in her interview. Her upcoming presentation at the CDFAM Computational Design Symposium will focus on five foundational computation methods: data branching, point sorting, plane-based calculation, cross-referencing, and surface rebuilding. “These five core methods are instrumental to much of our computational logic and provide the underpinnings for most of the higher-order design and analytical computational tools,” she says. Committed to accelerating and streamlining KPF’s projects, Maddy believes that the more complex the relevant information is, the simpler the processing system needs to be.
The CDFAM Computational Design Symposium Series is coming to New York from October 2-3, 2024, and will offer leaders in the fields of design, engineering, and advanced manufacturing a chance to explore emerging technologies and rationale. Maddy’s session on Computational Systems Design will take place on October 2 at 10:40am ET. Register to attend here and read her full interview here.
