Join the AIANY Emerging New York Architects Committee (ENYA), the AIANY Future of Practice Committee, and a distinguished body of global computational design leaders on Saturday, November 6, for a one-day symposium to explore how computational thinking can be used to solve design problems. In our morning session, cutting-edge innovators will reflect on how computational thinking has influenced their work. Afterwards, workshop tables will conceive of computational solutions to complex, topical problems. Symposium attendees will be empowered to approach the impending future of computation in architecture with confidence.
