International Workshop “Grand Challenge in Non-Classical Computation”

18/04/2005 to 19/04/2005

York, U.K.

Conference, Academic Event

Christopher Alexander gave the keynote speech on “Harmony-Seeking Computations”, responding to Grand Challenge’s long-term research aspirations that seek to explore and unify the many diverse non-classical computational paradigms, to produce a fully mature and rich science of all forms of computation, that unifies the classical and non-classical computational paradigms.

Areas of focus:

Design and Building Process

Guiding idea:

Structure Preserving Transformations

In architecture, as in other things, the "right" sequence is of vital importance. It is a generative sequence of progressive differentiations, which allow space to unfold in the right order. Each differentiation acts on the product of the previous ...
