the pioneer.

Look at this guy! Pretty handsome, isn't he? 

But more interesting may be the fact, that this man is called a father of computation
for architecture! Let me introduce to you JOHN FRAZER, pioneering computer technologies
in architecture, urbanism and design.

His great achivements

John Frazer is acknowledged as a leader in the field of evolutionary digital design
and the originator of the Evolutionary Digital Design Process. His book An Evolutionary Architecture is considered the seminal work in the field. Work embraces the domains
of intelligent and interactive design systems, sustainable design, participatory
and co-operative design and computer generated design.His pioneering research
and teaching was nurtured at Cambridge University, the Architectural Association in London, the University of Ulster, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Queensland University
of Technology. His work has been presented worldwide in lectures and conferences
and extensively published in journals and books

He founded and directed award winning software company, Autographics, which in the late 70s developed and marketed the world’s first microcomputer based design systems and was amongst
the pioneers in the use of computers

in design education. He is also acknowledged as creator of the discipline of tangible interfaces with papers
and patents from the late 70s onwards. Recently honoured with giving
 the opening keynote at TEI 2010
in the new Media Lab at MIT in recognition of being the world pioneer
in the field. This work on interactive
and intelligent environments was applied
In particular to the GENERATOR project with Cedric Price now in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA)
in New York. Personal research focuses on generative and evolutionary computing 

for sustainable design, public participation in design and planning, and interactive design
and tangible interfaces. Author of An Evolutionary Architecture (1995) which proposed
a new model of the design process fundamentally realigning the roles of the user,
the tool and the means of construction. The computer uses generative and evolutionary computing techniques to become the accelerator of the co-operative evolution of a sustainable future architecture and the means of prediction, exploration and evaluation
of multiple possible future design trajectories.
