Abstract :
For two decades, the individual members of the SmartGeometry Group have pioneered innovative computer-aided design (cad) techniques and technologies. Now that they are situated in key positions in internationally renowned companies, the group is involved in developing a new generation of parametric design software. Here, Robert Aish (Director of Research at Bentley Systems), Lars Hesselgren (Director of Research and Development, kpf London), J Parrish (Director of ArupSport) and Hugh Whitehead (Project Director of the Specialist Modelling Group, Foster and Partners, London) discuss with Achim Menges the groupʹs instrumental approach to geometry and their unique collaboration spanning the world of practice and software development.
