Of algorithms, buildings and fighter jets: a conversation with Robin Forrest
No full textA founding member of the Computer-Aided Design Group at the University of Cambridge, UK, and a student and collaborator of CAD pioneer Steven A. Coons at MIT, Robin Forrest occupies an important place in the history of computational design. Along with important contributions to the mathematics of shape representation, his coining of the term ‘computational geometry’ in 1971 offered a handle on design techniques that started to emerge – somewhat uncomfortably at first – in the interstices of engineering, mathematics, and the fledgling field of computer science. Initially fostered by governmentsponsored research into Computer-Aided Design for aircraft and car manufacturing, the methods he helped develop have since been encoded in countless commercial software systems for 3D modelling and simulation, helping structure the intellectual work – and the professional identity – of architects, engineers, and other practitioners of design.</jats:p

Written evidence submitted by Dr Steven Forrest, University of Hull to the Environmental Audit Committee inquiry on Flood Resilience. FRE0113.
No full textThe following written response will provide evidence relevant to the following issues identifying in the Call for Evidence: Strengthening flood resilience (focusing on community engagement and empowerment and including alternative approaches of serious gaming (games with distinct aims and mechanisms to engage players in real-life issues, such as flooding) and the Flood Awareness Centre); Coordination of flood resilience (focusing on key priorities for the Flood Resilience Taskforce); Resources, funding and support for flood resilience (focusing on encourage long-term private investment and supporting property owners and neighbourhoods). The evidence below relies on experiences in flood resilience over the last decade, collaborations and discussions with stakeholders in authorities, consultancies, and civil society (including community flood groups)

Steven Pinker on language and thought
No full textEducação Superior::Linguística, Letras e Artes::LinguísticaThis video presents an exclusive preview of Steven Pinker's book: the stuff of thought. The author looks at language and how it expresses what goes on in our minds and how the words we choose communicate much more than we realize.

The first is metaphor: we take a concrete idea and use it as a stand-in for abstract thoughts. The second is combination: we combine ideas according to rules, like the syntactic rules of language, to create new thoughts out of old one
