MICHAEL HENSEL, TU Wien, Austria Embedded Architectures – En route to Data-driven Modelling for Architecture and Environment Integration Sustainability requirements are becoming rapidly more complex and pressing as climate change and related societal, economic and environmental problems unfold. Human modifications

GORAN SIBENIK, TU Wien Data Exchange between Architectural Design and Structural Analysis Models Digital exchange between domain-specific models of architecture and structural engineering is still burdened with numerous problems such as data and information losses, wrong interpretation of geometry, etc.

KATHRIN DÖRFLER, Technical Univeristy of Munich, Germany Strategies for Robotic On-site Construction The ability to fabricate digitally planned building components with robots not only extends the spectrum of construction possibilites, but it also allows for the direct implementation of material

PETER SCHRÖDER, California Institute of Technology, USA Shape from Metric Given an abstract surface and its metric what is its shape? This question does not have a unique (or even necessarily any) answer when studied in mathematics. Yet for triangle

JAN KNIPPERS, University of Stuttgart, Germany Integrative Computational Design and Construction for Architecture The detrimental environmental impact and lack of productivity coupled with the multifaceted relevance of architecture clearly indicates that we urgently need new approaches to design and construction.

MIRELA BEN-CHEN, Israel Institute of Technology, Israel Chebyshev Nets on Discrete Surfaces From gridshells to fruit packaging, quad meshes with uniform edge lengths are often needed in surface modeling. The analogous smooth mathematical structure is called a Chebyshev net. In
