<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-autospace:none">Arash Adel is an architect, researcher and educator, with a master’s degree in architecture from Harvard University and a master’s degree in urban design from University of Tehran. He has taught
design studios, seminars and computational design workshops both in the United States and abroad.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">“All of these projects have been developed computationally and address the notion of social and environmental sustainability in the age of digital design. Design Computation and Digital Fabrication play important
roles in the process of design to realization for all of these projects,” says Arash.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="BasicParagraph" style="line-height:normal"><span class="Body"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="BasicParagraph" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext">Arash’s research critiques the prioritization of formal explorations over analysis and material systems; such prioritization
has carried into the development and logic of CAD. Rather than being a consumer of the CAD industry as a normative discourse related to a narrow understanding of digital design, his interest lies in the agency of digital design in integrating computation,
material systems and performance. His research aims to provide critical instruments and technical tools to promote highly articulated and performative built environments. His work has been recognized with several awards and has been published in numerous global
publications.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
