+Dr. Milad Showkatbakhsh, Director of AA EmTech, explores "The Grasshopper Paradox": though today's designer must be fully tool-agnostic, Grasshopper remains the most effective path to that mindset. The talk centers on computational thinking, decomposing complex problems into modular, systemic processes, and AA EmTech's "Digital-Physical Continuum," bridging material constraints and digital possibility. The architect, he argues, has shifted from sculptor of form to editor of data. Drawing on his AD Magazine piece "From Genome to G-Code," the lecture champions a pedagogy built not on software, but on computational logic, cultivating problem-solvers who translate the mathematics of nature into the language of the machine.

+[[https://www.linkedin.com/in/miladshowkatbakhsh/|Milad Showkatbakhsh]] is an architect, educator, and researcher specializing in computational design and emergent technologies. He directs the EmTech postgraduate program at the Architectural Association (AA), and leads the AA DLAB and AA Istanbul Visiting School. As co-founder of Wallacei, an evolutionary multi-objective optimization engine for Grasshopper 3D, he has developed tools that give designers advanced generative and analytic capabilities, grounded in the integration of biological intelligence into architecture and urban design.
+He holds a BSc in Architectural Engineering from Shahid Beheshti University, an MArch from Pratt Institute (Sidney Katz Award, 2015), and a PhD from the AA on evolutionary models for homeostatic urban morphologies. He has held Design Technology Director roles across studios in Tehran, New York, Washington, Shanghai, London, and Istanbul, and is widely published in peer-reviewed journals and exhibitions.
