Transforming an Engineering Office One year ago this week, we commenced our lunchtime Computational training sessions at BuroHappold’s Hong Kong office. These lessons are one of the three main pillars of our Computational Transformation in Asia, which I am leading. …
A Habit for Novices and Experts Recall from Part 3 that the key skills of a Computational Engineer lie somewhere between the two pyramids of Engineering first-principles and Computer Science first-principles. In Part 4 and Part 5, you should have …
Algorithms In Part 4, we introduced the concept of Object Oriented Programming and stressed the importance of Objects for any Computational Engineer. In this post, we will learn how to use engineer algorithms with objects. As discussed in part 1, …
Skills of a Computational Engineer In Part 2, we discussed the definition of Computational Engineering as it relates to the built environment. In Part 3, we will explore the difference between a traditional Engineer and a Computational Engineer and the …
What is Computational Engineering? At the time of this writing, the state of the AEC industry is quite fragmented when it comes to the term of what comes after Building Information Modelling (BIM), as I discussed in a recent post. …
Introduction to Computational Engineering The goal of this series of posts will be to provide an Introduction to Computational Engineering as well as a basic, succinct resource for computational education and training for engineers of the built environment. Most people …
Introduction In Part 2, we introduced the second era in the history of AEC Data. This period spanned from the 90’s into the 2000’s. We left off here: Recall the three predominant era’s of data in the design of the …
Introduction In Part 1, we introduced the three main eras of data in the history of the built environment. This period spanned the majority of the time of our species’ existence, from the neolithic era up until roughly the 1970’s. Here’s …
Introduction I was lucky recently to represent BuroHappold at the 2019 CTBUH conference in Shenzhen. Morpheus had been nominated for a couple of categories’ worth of awards and I was along to support our team who were presenting some of …
History of AEC Data In the past few years, there’s been a lot of talk about data – whether is be the famous ‘big data’ buzz work, data privacy, or machine learning – there’s no denying we live in the …
