## Perspective
Computational design is a largely unseen craft whose impact people experience in a building. At its best it connects architectural ambition with comfort, performance, budget, engineering, construction and the skill of the people who build. Automation should carry that human expertise further while leaving room for judgment and creativity. Ali is interested in AI, fabrication and digital systems for the built environment.
