Join us on on August 12th, at 12:00pm PST, as we celebrate our 5th year anniversary with two fantastic speakers whose innovative work has disrupted the way we digitally conceptualize and process design solutions. Join us in celebrating our group milestone with Arturo Tedeschi and Phil Langley. Arturo Tedeschi is an architect and computational design specialist with more than ten years of experience in the avant-garde segment of architecture and industrial design (furniture, a...utomotive, installations, products, footwear). Phil Langley is an architect and computational designer, based in London and leads the ‘Creative Technologies’ team at Bryden Wood. They will be talking about Crossing Disciplines with Computational Tools and Methodologies and Automated Design for Industrialized Construction.
