GSM4Q: Game Set and Match IV Qatar 2019 Qatar University | Main Library Building | Auditorium Doha, Qatar, February 6-7, 2019

The Game Set and Match IV Qatar conference covers a variety of specific yet strongly connected topics as Nomadic Swarms, Nomadic Cities, Robotic Buildings, Informed Materials, Monads and Nomads, Scalable Interactions, as will be targeted by the keynote speeches, the call for papers and the hands-on workshops.

We would like to invite academics, researchers, professionals, and students to address the multifaceted notions of the hyperreal in architectural practice for developing a better future.  Approaches discussing the theme from the perspective of computer-aided design, virtual reality, design processes and methods, design tool developments and novel design applications. Following approximations are referring  Nomadic Swarms, Nomadic Cities, Robotic Buildings, Cybernetics, and Biomimicry.

List of Topics

Proposed topics are, but not limited to 

• Scalable energy production, whereas the constituting components are considered to be energy producers in themselves
• Vertical [urban] farming, both in new and in existing structures
• Multimodal booking strategies, facilitating multimodal accommodations for the nomadic international citizen
• Distributed personal climatic systems, allowing users to create and take along with them their own local climates
• Robotic design, production and assembly, with a special focus design driven robotic strategies in art and architecture
• Automated transport systems, water-based, and based, and on the planetary scale Moon and Mars based, bound to reconfigure existing city infrastructure and revolutionize new settlements
• Resilient solution for building in extreme climates, both super cold and super hot climates, ranging from Siberia to Arabia
• [E]motive styling is considered a key factor in the appreciation of new settlements, whereas monadic building bodies will need a new approach to their body styling
• Parametric design to robotic production methods, enhancing the expressive potential of architects and entrepreneurs
• Real time interactions between building bodies and their constituting components will require bold new strategies
