FEM (Finite Element Method) helps in analysing and optimising more and more complex structures. It is now possible to simulate and explore complex coherences between material, structure and climate. New materials open up the development of more effective construc- tions, new spatial and material experien- ces. The Design Modelling Symposium would like to encourage discussion about the target course of this develop- ment by exchanging the experiences in appliance of such new technologies. Rather than the prospects of modelling complex geometries and structures, the main focus lies in new concepts and design strategies emerging from the application of new technologies. Another emphasis is the discussion of the role of analogue and digital models in the design and planning process as well as questions regarding realisation of complex geome- tries and construction systems. This 3-day event includes four formats: Lectures, Case Studies, Workshops and Master Classes. In the Key Lectures (45 mins in length) expert speakers will pre- sent formfinding, parametric design and structure analysis, whereas participants of the Case Studies (20 mins in length) are introduced to unique projects being implemented by multidisciplinary tools or product applications. The Master Classes and Workshops (à 3 × 5 hrs) focus on deepening and developing skills in the area of designing complex geome- tries and structures.
