Institute 4 - BIM Symposium Series 2012
Symposium 2 - Confluence - Establishing data flow from Design to Site
Venue
KADK- Auditorium 6, Danneskiold-Samsøes Allé 53, 1434 Copenhagen
Language
English.
Description
Building Information Modelling came with the promise to create a fluent building process starting in design and reaching out all along to architectural production and use. Looking at research driven developments in both academia and practice the seminar investigates the contemporary state, challenges and future potential that might emerge from an unlimited flow of information. Here it is research that emphasises the role of fabrication and material while practice develops seemingly approaches that engage directly with contractors and building site. The research seminar confluence highlights the emerging tools and processes and discusses directions for further development.
National and international guest lecturers will highlight successful strategies, pitfalls and future challenges through research induced projects that bridge BIM based planning with the digital fabrication in building construction. The seminar crossexamines projects in the full range of scales and aims to establish a platform to share experiences and move the contemporary boundaries of the use of BIM.
The symposium 2 is organised by Martin Tamke and Morten Myrup Jensen and is part of the Institute 4 - BIM symposium series. The first symposium “ARK|BIM - Kick off for network architectural BIM” takes place in Danish language on Wednesday 14. November 2012 – 13h at KADK.

Tobias Schwinn is a research associate and doctoral candidate at the Institute for Computational Design (ICD) at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. In his research he is focusing on the integration of robotic fabrication and computational design processes. Prior to joining the ICD in January 2011, he worked as a Senior Designer for Skidmore, Owings and Merrill LLP in New York and London applying computational design techniques to parametric form-finding, rationalization, complex geometry, automation and aspects of sustainability.
Tobias studied architecture at the Bauhaus-University in Weimar, Germany and at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia as part of the US-EU Joint Consortium for Higher Education. He received his diploma-engineering degree in 2005.
He has been invited studio critic at Columbia GSAPP, Harvard GSD, Pratt Institute, AA in London, and the Staedelschule Frankfurt and has internationally taught various workshops on scripting and algorithmic design.

Ulrich Pohl is educated both cabinet maker and architect. He has worked for 3XN since 2008. After graduating from Technische Universität in Braunschweig, Germany he started working in Berlin at realities:united dedicating his focus to new media and information technology were he, among other projects, worked on the development of the media facade for EACC in Spain in collaboration with Nieto&Sobejano Architects.
3XN he has been engaged with various types of assignments and involved in many of the studio’s major corporate and cultural projects. He has been working on The Blue Planet, Denmark’s new National Aquarium, beginning from competition up to now. He was responsible for its geometrical optimization and part of the façade design team that challenged the realization of the complex double curved exterior skin. A huge part of his work included implementation and feedback of 3D data into various applications.

Tobias Nolte joined Gehry Technologies in 2008 as a technical consultant. After leading consulting engagements throughout Europe, he was appointed director in Europe in 2011, where he leads a team of architects, engineers and builders in the implementation of concurrent design systems to improve design, engineering and construction performance.
He has worked with a variety of leading international design firms including Gehry Partners, Zaha Hadid, Snohetta, UNStudio, Coop Himmelb(l)au and several others. Some of the projects include the New Building of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Fondation Louis Vuitton pour la Création in Paris, Museum of Contemporary Art and Planning Exhibition in Shenzhen, Raffles City Hangzhou and several others.
His areas of interest include design computation, integrated product and process design, construction automation, concurrent design and cloud technologies. He studied in Berlin and Los Angeles and holds an Engineering Diplom in Architecture from the University of Technologies in Berlin.

Frederik Agdrup is partner and founder of eentileen.dk. Eentileen.dk was founded in Copenhagen in 2008 as an alternative to the conventional design studio.
We combine architectural practice and digital production facilities under one roof in the making the homes of the future. The building system is a semi modular and additive component based structural envelope, with embedded digital building information. We describe our work as New Nordic homes – the future of sustainable living. Our design embraces the ordinary complexities within the everyday life with an interest for the coherence between technology, environment and architecture.
Our studio originates from the vision of an architectural practice where digital and analogue world coincide – without a distinction between the architect and the builder. By reuniting manual labour and creative thinking, we utilize cutting edge technology in the end creating a creative building process.
During the summer of 2011 an international collaboration between eentileen.dk and Facit Homes resulted in the completion of the first digitally fabricated home in Denmark. This endeavour was the result of years of correspondence and exchange of knowledge which puts eentileen.dk in a unique situation. A situation, that points in the direction of a shift in the construction industry as well as common architectural practice.

Martin Tamke is Associate Professor at the Centre for Information Technology and Architecture (CITA) at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture in Copenhagen, where he pursues design led research at the interface of computational design and its materialization.
After graduating he worked at the Institute of Theory and Design in Architecture (ige) at TU Braunschweig in 2003, where he refined his focus on developing and reflecting upon new strategies for architectural design that are concerned with speculative design and the means of its realization.
He has been a key collaborator in numerous projects of varying scales including a 70m organic shaped infrastructural hub in Hamburg developed in partnership with Blunck-Morgen Architects which was awarded Building of the year in 2010.
Martin joined the newly founded research centre CITA in 2006, and has helped shape its design led research practice. He has been instrumental in developing research led projects that investigate new design and fabrication tools for wood production, curved & creased surfaces in a variety of materials and fractal systems. These projects have resulted in a series of digitally fabricated speculative probes, prototypes and 1:1 demonstrators.
Martin has taught extensively through workshops at Vienna, Berlin, Barcelona, St. Petersburg, Hamburg, Istanbul, Moscow, Copenhagen and Aarhus.
