QATAR University (QU) College of Engineering (CENG) Department of Architecture and Urban Planning (DAUP) organised the GSM4Q conference under the theme ‘Connecting People, Spaces and Machines: The Informed Nomadic Monad’.
The conference is the fourth in a series of Game and Match conferences on the state of mind in architecture and urban design.
The GSM4Q conference covers a variety of specific yet strongly connected topics like swarm behaviour, distributed climates, robotic buildings, informed materials, monads, nomads, scalable interactions and smart environments.
The event was attended by QU President Dr Hassan alDerham, CENG Dean Prof AbdulmajidHamouda, CENG Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies Prof Abbes Amira, Head of DAUP DrFodilFadli, DAUP Prof Kasper Oosterhuis, students, faculty members and other representatives from fellow higher education institutions in Qatar, as well as professionals and practitioners from governmental and private institutions.
In his opening speech, Dr Fodil Fadli said, “This event is important for our department because it triggers interaction between faculty members, students and professionals with international speakers and scientists, who come from different backgrounds and different areas of expertise. We are here to discuss connecting people, spaces and machines in the realm of 21st century architecture. Our department is ready to explore and reach new horizons to empower next generation architecture students.”
DAUP Professor Kasper Oosterhuis said, “The leading theme of the GSM4Q conference is ‘The Informed Nomadic Monad’. The monad is considered to be a design pattern that defines how inputs, processes and outputs together build generic types, as in functional programming. The nomad links back to the Bedouin history of Qatar and forward to its potential for today’s strategic planning.”
