I thought I had hit "publish" on this earlier in the week, but apparently not. I'm actually busting my but working this weekend on some stuff that just isn't cooperating, but wanted to make sure I posted this before Monday actually rolls around.

My good friend Aaron Westre will be presenting at the Emerging Digerati event/meeting this coming Monday, April 2. Aaron's working on his Master's degree in architecture and will be presenting on a topic that he and I have discussed at great length on many occasions: the intersection of computer science and architecture.

More specifically, he'll be talking about the use of code to generate and evolve architectural forms. He'll be showing some of his recent experiments in this area. I've seen some of this stuff come together as he's been working on it and it's definitely interesting stuff.

It also ties nicely into another topic that comes up a lot when we talk. There are a LOT of benefits to working, researching and experimenting in cross-disciplinary ways. When you spend all of your time in a single-disciplinary silo, you are losing out on tons of amazing ideas that you can only get when you bring in ideas from other fields.

Anyway, if you've got some time on Monday, the event is at 5:30pm at the Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota.
