The Computation & Performance research group aims to improve the performance of buildings and the built environment through scientific inquiry into novel ways of evaluating and influencing building performance using computational methods for measurement, prediction and simulation of buildings’ performances, form finding, design generation and analysis, information modelling, decision-making and design communication.

Performance in this context refers to technical performance as well as qualitative performance - physical and psychological. We deliberately do not define performance in any strict manner; comfort and safety, visual attractiveness and iconic quality can be considered performance aspects in the same way as structural integrity, energy efficiency and sustainability, etc.

Finally, Computation & Performance is researched in an interdisciplinary context.
