CDFAM Computational Design Symposium — DC 2026Matthew Shomper · Not a Robot EngineeringNature has been solving the problem of impact protection for millennia, in order to arrive at solutions far more elegant than anything on the market today. The microstructure of a bighorn sheep’s horn is one of the most striking examples : a geometry that is brutally efficient at scattering and absorbing energy, such that the animal can sustain repeated high-speed collisions without lasting damage. The challenge

We’re asking whether the tools that make us faster are quietly eroding the deep expertise that defines our craft, as Slava Polonski warns of "AI skill atrophy" and Jessica DeMartini argues we must retain human judgment over mere artifacts. This tension between efficiency and depth is mirrored in our Thread, where we examine if seamless technical transitions and perceptual typography biases actually serve the user or just mask a lack of substance. It’s a conversation about knowing where to

Send us Fan Mail Grief doesn’t politely wait for your schedule to clear, and neither does real life. I’m back after taking a week off to host one of my best friends, exploring Seattle and the surrounding areas while I’m still learning what “home” even means here. That time filled me up, but I’m also honest about what hit hard right after: a heavy EMDR therapy session that took days to shake off, and the choice to slow down instead of performing productivity.
