Gregg Lynn
BD Online's great weekly news email led me to this interesting TED Talk from Greg Lynn. He discusses calculus in architecture and the use of generative components. The talk is from 2005 and Greg shows Bentley software in use. Given the direction Autodesk is heading it's worth watching for non-Bentley users too.
How calculus is changing architecture (Greg Lynn)
Greg Lynn talks about the mathematical roots of architecture -- and how calculus and digital tools allow modern designers to move beyond the traditional building forms. A glorious church in Queens (and a titanium tea set) illustrate his theory.
