http://vdf.ch/advances-in-architectural-geometry-2016.html on the relationship between architecture and technology. Werner Sobek, whose practice operates at the interface between architecture and engineering, contributes with his expertise in lightweight constructions and his interest in performative structures. Complementary to these highly recognised professionals, Erik Demaine and Urs B. Roth contribute distinct perspectives on geometry. While they share a deep mathematical understanding and a passion for surprising "geometric discoveries" , their work methods are diametrically opposed. Erik Demaine develops his origami sculptures by engaging with computational algorithmic techniques, whereas Urs. B. Roth's heuristic search for form developed using sequences of accurate drawings and rigorous formulas that create their own peculiar aesthetic. Interesting enough, though, both consider themselves to be artists in addition to being scientists.The peer-review process for the selection of papers was managed by the scientific co-chairs, covering the domains of architecture, structural engineering, mathematics, and computer science, with the support of the scientific committee and the AAG2106 coordinator. From a very large pool of submissions, 22 papers have been accepted and included in the present proceedings. In addition, 25 posters have also been accepted for presentation, and the workshop chair has selected 12 workshop proposals for the pre-conference sessions. We extend our thanks and acknowledgements to all authors, tutors, reviewers, and organisers for their invaluable contributions to this process.External industry partners are vital to both the integrity and the execution of such a large conference. We are very pleased to have strong and highly supportive partners and industry sponsors for the AAG2016. We would like to especially thank our main sponsor ABB, our workshops sponsor Autodesk, and the conference sponsors Moog, Waagner Biro, ERNE, Evolute, Absolute Joint System, and Disney Research for their backing and guidance.Finally, we would also like to thank our colleagues and co-hosts at the Institute for Technology in Architecture (ITA), the Department of Architecture, and the ETH Zurich for their ongoing support and for providing the conference venues. We hope that you enjoy your time visiting ETH and Zurich, and wish you an excellent conference.
