Following her recent interview with the organization, the KPF Computational Design Specialist presented 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 presentation at the CDFAM Computational Design Symposium focused 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 came to New York from October 2-3, 2024, and offered 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 took place on October 2 at 10:40am ET. Find out more about the conference here and read her full interview here.
