>>Introduction
At the edge, between design and computation
The Design & Computation Group (DCG) is a research group committed with the exploration and understanding of new forms of design thinking that are provided by computation, algorithmic reasoning and the new possibilities of computer tools.
DCG was created by José Pinto Duarte at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Lisbon (FAULisboa) in the beginning of the 2010’s. It is an interdisciplinary group committed to create a strong contribution to the research areas at the edge between design and computation, applying computational techniques to design problems on a variety of scales: from product to urban design, from architecture to regional planning.
DCG is transversal to all knowledge areas available at FAULisboa and fosters multidisciplinary and collaborative work as a philosophical principle.
The group is presently coordinated by José Nuno Beirão and involves several researchers from the Faculty ( http://dcg.fa.ulisboa.pt/authors/ ).
