<h2><strong>About Us</strong></h2>
<br />
<pcenter> <strong>Algorithmic Design for Architecture (ADA)</strong> is a research group that fuses computation with architecture, urban planning and engineering. Our research not only focuses on ways to aid architects to make virtual models of their buildings but it also helps architects find creative and more complex shapes. The objective is to guide these state-of-the-art projects through the actual constructive reality, as well as to improve their performance. Our group focuses on creatively solving architectural, urban and engineering problems, making a full integration of these disciplines with the most scientific rigor available methods can provide. This group is composed of a multidisciplinary team of architects and computer science engineers.</pcenter>

<pcenter><h2>GENERATIVE DESIGN</h2></pcenter>
</header>
<p>Generative Design allows for the modelling of highly complex geometries that would pose some challenges for manual design tools. Generative Design entails a parametric modelling philosophy, meaning the design can be manipulated through variable parameters. This allows the designer to explore a wider range of possibilities rapidly and with little effort. The degree of control over modelling systems offered by programming enables the normal tool-user to become a tool-maker.</p>

<header><h3>ARCHITECTURE</h3></header>
<p> Using algorithms as the medium to explore and develop architectural design ideas, it is possible to achieve Generative Architecture. Using a pure programming-based representation of the intended design not only speeds up the handling of changes that always occur as the design evolves, but also allows for a much larger solution space derived from the formalized representation.</p>

<header> <h3>STRUCTURES</h3> </header>
<p>Non-planar geometries are nowadays increasingly more common in architectural practices, and designing functional systems to support them is a rising challenge. Generative tools can not only help us plan complex structures, but also optimize them in various ways.</p>

<header> <h3>URBANISM</h3> </header>
<p>Generative tools can help us build models of cities faster. Regarding city planning, the advantages are also considerable, since urban centers are characterized by patterns and connection networks. Generative tools can help urban planners analyze these patterns and networks, aiding in orderly expansions of the urban fabric, improving arrangements within it, or extrapolating its organizational logic to other cities.</p>

<header> <h3>PERFORMANCE</h3> </header>
<p>Performance-based design is a design process informed by a deeper analysis within the environmental context of a project. By designing according to environmental demands, designers can transition from the traditional process of <b>form making</b> to a more contemporary process of <b>form finding</b>, where more eco-friendly energy- and cost-efficient buildings can be shaped.</p>
