Shajay is an Associate Director at Zaha Hadid Architects where he co-founded and heads the Computation and Design research group (ZHACODE, 2007). He is an alumnus and a studio-master at the post-graduate course of Design Research Laboratory at the Architectural Association, London (AADRL, 2006). There he explores the intersection of computational geometry, video game technology, urban development, and industrialised construction. Shajay pursued his scientific interests in digital design and robotic fabrication during his doctoral studies at the Block Research Group (BRG, 2022) at the ETH, Zurich and previously as a M.Phil. graduate from University of Bath (2016).
In this talk, Shajay Bhooshan explores the evolving role of computation and advanced geometry in architectural design, drawing from his work at Zaha Hadid Architects. He delves into how complex forms are not just aesthetic outcomes, but the result of rigorous processes that combine mathematics, engineering, and design intelligence. The talk challenges the perception of computational design as purely visual, instead positioning it as a powerful tool for problem-solving, optimisation, and innovation at multiple scales. Through real-world examples, Shajay highlights how embracing complexity can lead to more efficient, precise, and expressive architecture, ultimately redefining how buildings are conceived and realised in the digital age.
