ACADIA 2013, Unconventional Computing

Activity: Participating in or organising an event Participation in workshop, seminar, course

Description

“The Rise” ACADIA workshop will explore the conceptualization, technologies and making of an architecture that is continuously sensing and dynamically adapting to its environment as it grows into form. The workshop is based in a research project into the digital design and fabrication of aggregations of variably sized bundles of fiber material that multiply, bend, branch, and recombine in a distributed assembly that manifests an alternative to traditional structural systems. Workshop participants will get insights into the algorithmic base, the CNC processes and the physical processes in a hands-on way. The workshop will finalize in a full-scale installation at the ACADIA conference at the University of Waterloo in Cambridge.
