(J08) Using Computation to Address Environmental, Health and Social Equity

Designers of the built environment are now faced with myriad challenges ranging from carbon considerations, to navigating labor exploitation risk in their building material supply chains, to selecting the healthiest materials for the building's occupants. At Buro Happold we have leveraged our open-source code (BHoM) to address these monumental challenges- striking the delicate balance of the workflows being both transdisciplinary and democratized so that they can be deployed at scale. During this session we will review our approach to computational design as well as sharing the open-source solutions that have been developed.
