Computational Making Workshop

at the 6th International Conference On Design Computing And Cognition (DCC ‘14), 21 June 2014, University College London, London, UK

The goal of this workshop is to articulate and circumscribe an emerging area of research we call Computational Making. Making is construed broadly here – it’s not about digital fabrication. We are interested in how our active bodies and senses participate in the making of spaces and the things in them, and the potential roles of computation in making activities. We aim in this workshop to bring together diverse perspectives on making from a range of disciplines to envision new directions and possibilities for computation in making.
