The notion of “deep planning” was first introduced in 1999 within a small avant-garde of architects exploring the implications of information-based design methodologies. It describes an “integral, time- and user-based approach” to architecture and urbanism, aiming to explore the complex functioning of buildings and urban areas in relation to their physical and cultural contexts. In this lecture, Jeroen van Ameijde discusses a range of his academic and professional projects developed through computational generative design processes, using “deep planning” as a methodology and ethos to address emergent urban conditions in fast-growing cities around the world.
