Presentation content

User defined software
The past has shown how the evolution of software influenced architects in their design and obviously manufacturers in their product spectrum. The talk will put an emphasis on the workflow influenced interaction design for software development, to unchain the user’s needs. Starting a journey from digital fabrication over machine control, towards user interaction it will highlight principles for a general approach in software development. Examples show digitally driven roof constructions of the elephant house Zurich over exhibition booths, free software projects and custom software solutions working at Herzog & De Meuron.
