About
Moritz Fleischmann is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of architecture, computational design, and material science. His work fundamentally challenges the traditional separation between digital form-finding and physical material behaviour, advocating for a deeply integrated approach where material properties actively drive the design process. His most influential paper, "Material Behaviour: Embedding Physical Properties in Computational Design Processes" (2012, 34 citations), establishes a core framework for this philosophy, demonstrating how internal material constraints and external forces can be encoded directly into generative algorithms. Expanding on this, his research on "Computational Design Synthesis" (2011) explores the architectural potential of bending-active structures, using advanced computational methods, engineering principles, and robotic manufacturing. This work is exemplified by his key role in the landmark ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion, a celebrated case study in biomimetic and performative architecture. Fleischmann’s contributions are foundational to the emerging field of material-based computational design, providing a roadmap for creating structures that are not merely shaped by geometry, but are deeply informed by the intrinsic logic of their materials.
