Algorithmic design with Tim Fu

Ep. 2 Bricks, mortar and hard hats: all features of the traditional building site. But construction is rapidly changing. Imagine if drones started laying bricks and buildings could self-adapt to their environment. Such developments are already emerging in modern architectural practice, proving that coding and AI will be crucial tools for the next generation of designers. 

Tim Fu - formerly of Zaha Hadid Architects and founder of Studio Tim Fu - is a pioneer of such revolutionary thinking in architecture. Tim specialises in using generative AI and coding in the design process. 

In this episode, Ross and Ila welcome Tim to discuss smart-buildings, 3D printing and algorithms in modern architecture. What does all this mean for the future of our houses, offices blocks and public spaces? Tim explains why we must embrace, and not shy away from new methods. 

Mentioned in this episode: 

• Bucky Fuller
• Damien Hirst’s spot paintings
• Yayoi Kusama
• Bjarke Ingels - the first 3D printed house
