Alex and David dive into how computers are transforming architecture from static sketches to self-optimizing, eco-friendly structures using parametric design, evolutionary algorithms, and digital twins. They explore kinetic facades that adapt to the sun, floor plans that evolve like living organisms, and simulations predicting building performance over decades. This episode reveals the profound beauty of algorithms crafting greener cities, making complex optimization feel like cosmic wonder.
