ABOUT AL FISHER
Al is a technical director and Head of Computational Development at Buro Happold. Based in London, Al helps orchestrate code development across a decentralised global network of contributors. Encouraging a diversity of skills and experience - across engineering, computer science, architecture, construction and design - the aim is to empower mass participation in tool creation through a globally accessible open coding framework.Al’s background is in structural design computation with a masters and PhD in Civil and Architectural Engineering from the University of Bath, and a particular interest in the geometry of freeform architecture, where engineering efficiency and form are so inextricably linked. Throughout his career he has focused on performance driven design and optimisation, applying these principles to projects such as the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the London Olympic Stadium Transformation. He places great importance on early stage transdisciplinary conceptual design, where the designers\' increasing need for swift pertinent feedback on their design\'s validity, is changing the way we engineer and do design.Most recently his research has focused on solving wider wicked type problems and the subjective performance of co-authored distributed systems. He has particular interest in the cultural and technological challenges of networked human-human and human-machine collaboration.
