Computation, in its most basic meaning, refers to the processing of information. In this way, both mechanic processes operating in the binary realm of the digital, as well as material processes operating in the complex domain of the physical can be considered computational. This lecture will introduce Achim Menges’s work on exploring the territory where machine computation and material computation potentially overlap, where they not simply co-exist but intensely interact in the design process.
