This presentation discussed the challenges and opportunities of
developing evidence to inform creativityand to enhance innovationin design. The
opportunities to do higher performing design abound in areas demanding more
sustainable design, new building technologies and spatial configurations
influencing human behavior and response to environmental stimuli.
The research looked at the work processes of a select group who are using
evidence to inform their work. The study focused on three approaches to
generating evidence:
-
Simulation, Modeling and Data Mining
-
Socio-Psychological Scientific Methodologies
-
Natural and Physical Scientific Methodologies
The presentation will focus on a specific case study of the California Academy of Science, San Francisco designed by Renzo Piano of Renzo Piano Building Workshop in collaboration with Chong Partners Architecture (now Stantec) and ARUP.
