Beyond Geometry | Advanced Form-Finding Frontiers for Architects With Grasshopper & Kangaroo With Arie Willem de Jongh | AB Ep 42

About this episode

This episode explores the intersection of architecture and physics through advanced form-finding techniques with Arie Willem de Jongh.

What happens when architects stop designing static forms — and start designing with forces, behavior, and physics? In this episode of Architecture Beyond, we sit down with Arie Willem de Jongh, innovative designer and Co-Founder of ThinkParametric, to explore the rapidly evolving world of Applied Design Physics and Computational Form-finding. From parametric workflows to advanced simulations in Grasshopper and Kangaroo, this conversation dives into how architects and designers can create more...
