2011 CONFERENCE THEME The ACADIA 2011 Annual Conference will explore integrative trajectories and areas of overlap that have emerged through computation between design, its allied disciplines of engineering and construction, and other fields, such as computer science, material science, mathematics and biology. The conference will highlight experimental projects in which methods, processes, and techniques are […]

d3:dialog>blur 21st century design practice reveals ever-expanding complexities and ambiguities between architecture and the disciplines of art, performance, landscape, urbanism, interiors, and industrial design. With an increased consciousness of the extended ecological interrelationship of humans, cities, and space, renewed interest in the connectedness of people to all aspects of the built environment has emerged. Blurring […]

FUTURISTIC WATER AND THE BIOREEF DIVERSITY THEORY THAMES GATEWAY The Challenge Abstract We are also building an important book for the future image of london, where winners will be featured. The designers in this book will be Re-Evaluated repeatedly over the next decade for Thames gateway project advancements. The bio-mechanical futuristic water competition is the […]

THE PREMISE Vast streams of data offer a rich resource for designers. By incorporating external information into our design processes the autonomy of the design is challenged. User data, energy calculations, embedded sensing, material and structural simulation, human behaviour and perception, particle flows and force fields allows design to be situated and responsive. From the […]

Biotech-labs around the world are busy in the field of Synthetic Biology – a new approach to engineer “life” and living systems. Synthetic biology aims at applying engineering principles to biology. The DNA of an organism is no longer manipulated, but programmed on a computer and built up from scratch. Bio:Fiction Science, Art & Filmfestival […]
