Towards Radical Regeneration

This book aims to answer that the many campaigners, communities, institutions, and governments all across the world that have declared a state of emergency have asked: "what are the radical measures we can take to change the way we plan, build, operate, maintain and dismantle our built environment?" "Technology is the answer, but what is the question?" famously asked Cedric Price to an audience of architects and engineers in 1966. For researchers, educators, and practitioners in the Architecture Engineering Construction (AEC) fields, the question could not be clearer, nor the answer more urgently needed. In the age of the growing inequalities, climate crisis, ecosystem collapse, the AEC sector accounts alone for almost 40% of the greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, it is responsible for eco-systemic changes and plays a central role in creating and perpetuating social injustice.  The Design Modelling Symposium 2022 aims to provide critical perspectives on current advances in computational methods in the field of AEC in this age of crisis and hope.The chapter authors of this book were invited speakers at the Design Modelling Symposium 2022 "Towards Radical Regeneration", at University of the Arts in Berlin in September 2022. The conference is structured around four thematic areas that explorer almas in which new, radical measures need to emerge, spanning from the tools that enable design, simulation, and materialization to new ways of approaching the relationship between built and unbuilt environment.
