Dassault Systèmes and the French designer Patrick Jouin unveiled “Ta.Tamu,” a lightweight, 3D-printed and functional chair, co-created using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud. Ta.Tamu serves as a proof of concept for emerging, generative design processes that combine AI-powered virtual twins and the frugal use of materials to drive the generative economy. Ta.Tamu is the result of a four-year dialogue between Patrick Jouin’s intuitive design approach and Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Designers and engineers redefined how a chair could be conceived — challenging traditional design methods, pushing formal and structural limits, and inventing new ways to minimize matter. Developed through enhanced ideation and concept development, and a life cycle assessment integrated early in the process, Ta.Tamu’s pioneering aesthetics were inspired by biomimicry and the structural logic of the human body, such as bone density and joint articulation. The light yet robust lattice structure weighs just 8.6 pounds (3.9 kg), can support 220

Siemens and the Bavarian State Opera are digitalizing the acoustics in Bavaria’s National Theater in Munich, Germany. The result is a digital twin that simulates sound effects, orchestral setups and venue configurations in a realistic 3D acoustic model so that musicians, the director and conductors can assess a concert hall’s acoustics even before the first rehearsal. The Sound of Science, a mixed-reality application, allows users to acoustically test various orchestral setups and audience positions in Bavaria’s National Theater with the help of virtual-reality goggles independently of the users’ physical location. Siemens launched the Sound of Science at the Salzburg Festival in 2024. In developing the application for Bavaria’s National Theater, the company is now using it to enhance the performance of yet another internationally renowned cultural institution. Released just in time for the Munich Opera Festival, the current version includes additional concert hall configurations and new acoustic scenarios. For example, a
