Design Without Limits: Multidisciplinary Optimization in Aerospace Engineering

Today on Optimind, host Alara Onur sits down with architectural researcher Lara Kilislioğlu to explore how the fusion of engineering and design is transforming architecture as we know it.
Forget static blueprints—this episode dives into parametric modeling, computational design, and structural optimization, where algorithms like topology optimization and genetic algorithms help create buildings that are lighter, stronger, and more sustainable.
From the flowing forms of Zaha Hadid Architects to the eco-precision of BIG’s waste-to-energy plant in Copenhagen, we uncover how tools like Grasshopper, Rhinoceros 3D, and Autodesk Generative Design are making architecture smarter—mathematically efficient yet artistically expressive.
Whether you're an aspiring designer, engineer, or just someone fascinated by how we shape the spaces we live in, this episode will open your eyes to a future where buildings don’t just stand—they perform.
