[00:00:04.14]
well welcome everyone I'm Nancey Green
Leigh I'm the associate dean for
[00:00:11.16]

[00:00:11.16]
research in the College of Design and a
professor and City Regional Planning so
[00:00:17.02]

[00:00:17.02]
shape symposium details are really new
to me and I've had some things explained
[00:00:24.01]

[00:00:24.01]
which I want to share with you from
Thanos excellent to me but I want to
[00:00:29.04]

[00:00:29.04]
welcome you to this symposium which is
really quite exciting and not just for
[00:00:33.19]

[00:00:33.19]
Sam versus lab but for the college as
well and besides for mastering the shape
[00:00:40.11]

[00:00:40.11]
that she was just a lot of what this
symposium is about professor kombu and
[00:00:45.02]

[00:00:45.02]
his team apparently have mastered the
prediction of weather because they ended
[00:00:49.20]

[00:00:49.20]
up with an absolutely beautiful day like
this it's just amazing spring day one of
[00:00:55.19]

[00:00:55.19]
those perfect days that cost people to
fall in love at the city of Atlanta
[00:00:59.16]

[00:00:59.16]
despite the pollen which you can hear
affecting my voice our city has known as
[00:01:04.22]

[00:01:04.22]
the city of trees and the most beautiful
trees and bushes are in bloom right now
[00:01:10.09]

[00:01:10.09]
so I
you'll enjoy those those of you that
[00:01:12.17]

[00:01:12.17]
have come from far away and if you'll
bear with me because I think it's really
[00:01:18.02]

[00:01:18.02]
cool we understand we have 91 registries
for this event and they're coming you're
[00:01:23.20]

[00:01:23.20]
coming from all over the world so in
random order
[00:01:26.19]

[00:01:26.19]
I'll read the list of what we have so
far and if we've missed anything let us
[00:01:30.09]

[00:01:30.09]
know from Turkey Trinidad and Tobago
Germany Greece Serbia Wales Austria
[00:01:38.05]

[00:01:38.05]
Korea Chile Japan Taiwan Canada
Singapore and of course the good old US
[00:01:45.05]

[00:01:45.05]
of A but that's really an amazing divert
geographic diversity that's represented
[00:01:50.20]

[00:01:50.20]
here and I think it's very exciting so
let me share just a little bit of the
[00:01:57.16]

[00:01:57.16]
research the history of the research
that led to holding the symposium the
[00:02:03.12]

[00:02:03.12]
shake machine has been the shape
computations labs major focus for the
[00:02:07.13]

[00:02:07.13]
past three years the first attempt to
develop this technology began decade ago
[00:02:12.11]

[00:02:12.11]
under Thomas grassle who is here today
raise your hand was obtained his
[00:02:21.08]

[00:02:21.08]
master's degree at Georgia Tech under
Manos and then went on to doctoral
[00:02:25.16]

[00:02:25.16]
studies at tu Vienna while his doctoral
work this differs in significant ways
[00:02:31.10]

[00:02:31.10]
from the approach taken to create the
shape machine it provided the Legacy
[00:02:35.13]

[00:02:35.13]
Project and the state-of-the-art
knowledge that has helped to develop
[00:02:39.06]

[00:02:39.06]
this in turn this led to the AI Edie
artificial intelligence for engineering
[00:02:46.09]

[00:02:46.09]
design analysis and manufacturing
special issue of Shape grammar
[00:02:50.08]

[00:02:50.08]
interpreters that was pro edited by
professor Kahneman and published in 2018
[00:02:56.08]

[00:02:56.08]
and as Professor O'Connell had shared
and I'm going to start saying fast
[00:03:00.18]

[00:03:00.18]
because it's a big mouthful it led to
the belief in this lab that the
[00:03:05.23]

[00:03:05.23]
seemingly unattainable technology could
be realized today panel said his team
[00:03:11.08]

[00:03:11.08]
core team in the shape machine includes
three doctoral students and hopefully
[00:03:16.11]

[00:03:16.11]
you'll stand up and raise your hand Kurt
comm who has four degrees in this work
[00:03:27.05]

[00:03:27.05]
you beat my record by one had their
littler who has degrees in bachelor
[00:03:35.05]

[00:03:35.05]
architecture is March and there's a
licensed architect with some simple
[00:03:38.23]

[00:03:38.23]
etiquette practice experience and then
James Park who has BS s in art
[00:03:44.12]

[00:03:44.12]
architecture and masters in architecture
in this instructor in the core
[00:03:48.14]

[00:03:48.14]
computation of media and modeling
courses in the School of Architecture
[00:03:53.04]

[00:03:53.04]
the current team started looking at the
problem literally from scratch to 2016
[00:03:58.14]

[00:03:58.14]
and from there pursued two very
different approaches the first focused
[00:04:03.04]

[00:04:03.04]
on the development of the data
representation and shape recognition
[00:04:06.23]

[00:04:06.23]
algorithms to tackle the shape grammar
the second focused on developing the
[00:04:11.18]

[00:04:11.18]
uniform character
of shape as an interplay a visible
[00:04:15.06]

[00:04:15.06]
spatial elements and hyperplane
arrangements the first part resulted in
[00:04:20.06]

[00:04:20.06]
the shake machine and an emphasis was
led in the lab by Kirk on the second
[00:04:25.22]

[00:04:25.22]
part the shape signature was generously
supported by a Josephine you who is an
[00:04:31.02]

[00:04:31.02]
associate professor at the School of
Mathematics at Georgia Tech and her PhD
[00:04:35.23]

[00:04:35.23]
students included so that Selena oh
he'll who will also talk at this
[00:04:42.11]

[00:04:42.11]
symposium where they here it's a great
things and two undergraduate students
[00:04:49.14]

[00:04:49.14]
make hi and Nicholas laughs so the shake
machine project is sponsored by the NSF
[00:04:57.21]

[00:04:57.21]
accord sites grant for a research-based
University startup working closely with
[00:05:02.10]

[00:05:02.10]
Jeff divers have Georgia Tech's winter
lab technology is currently undergoing
[00:05:07.01]

[00:05:07.01]
intellectual property review and may
ultimately result in as many as 14
[00:05:11.14]

[00:05:11.14]
patents familes pursues the process of
culinary connection between designers
[00:05:17.04]

[00:05:17.04]
engineers and mathematicians as a key
part of the success story as a product
[00:05:22.01]

[00:05:22.01]
to date so in closing I hope you'll find
this
[00:05:25.10]

[00:05:25.10]
an exciting opportunity to explore the
possibilities of the shake machine so
[00:05:39.11]

[00:05:39.11]
I'm glad Nancy did that so I don't have
to explain where fancy to it but I've
[00:05:44.06]

[00:05:44.06]
got marble I'm the chair of the School
of Architecture and I first I wanted to
[00:05:50.07]

[00:05:50.07]
say dancing for being organized all the
research in college she's an amazing job
[00:05:57.16]

[00:05:57.16]
I suppose
the result of one of the grant programs
[00:06:01.08]

[00:06:01.08]
together to kind of bring all the
researchers across the college I'm just
[00:06:05.09]

[00:06:05.09]
a little architecture together and it's
really been very helpful in kind of
[00:06:09.03]

[00:06:09.03]
getting
[00:06:11.04]

[00:06:13.02]
and I just want to kind of reflect on
the audience here what I understand it's
[00:06:18.15]

[00:06:18.15]
obvious because everybody this reference
in terms of the history traders this is
[00:06:23.18]

[00:06:23.18]
kind of new to this area that's here
today and you know I think it must be
[00:06:29.13]

[00:06:29.13]
really kind of rewarding and just a
great thing to see really looks like at
[00:06:36.22]

[00:06:36.22]
least three four generations of thought
in this area we different threads many
[00:06:42.06]

[00:06:42.06]
different directions that this discourse
has taken with different people and I
[00:06:47.10]

[00:06:47.10]
think that's it's really quite exciting
as a focus to this to this event is very
[00:06:53.16]

[00:06:53.16]
unique and it's really awesome for me
quite exciting that Georgia Tech you
[00:07:01.14]

[00:07:01.14]
know has been part of the subscribing
hopefully a leader and kind of new
[00:07:06.23]

[00:07:06.23]
center of gravity or where this we've
got the promises that this has so it's
[00:07:14.11]

[00:07:14.11]
great to be part of that and it's
reasonable to be sponsoring this
[00:07:17.10]

[00:07:17.10]
discussion
everybody together and it's been great
[00:08:43.22]

[00:08:43.22]
to watch I'm very happy and proud what
they're doing they've seen demo this
[00:08:49.17]

[00:08:49.17]
it's very very exciting so welcome to
body I think this is going to be a great
[00:08:55.23]

[00:08:55.23]
day I want to especially just
congratulate you guys
[00:09:01.12]
