FABRICATE 2017 - International Conference and Publication
FABRICATE is an international peer reviewed conference with supporting publication
on the theme of Digital Fabrication. Digital Fabrication is without doubt the most rapidly expanding territory in design today and is defining the early decades of the 21st century. In architecture, engineering, manufacturing and construction, advances in the way buildings are designed and made, are radically altering industrial output and production. The way in which the built environment is constructed and experienced is undergoing a revolution where computation permeates every aspect of the cycle of ideas from concept, to production, to use. To discuss the progressive integration of digital design with manufacturing processes, and its impact on design and making in the 21st century, FABRICATE brings together pioneers in design and making within architecture, construction, engineering, manufacturing, materials technology and computation.
Confirmed keynote speakers are Kengo Kuma, architect and Professor of Architecture at University of Tokyo, as well as Antoine Picon, Professor of History in Architecture and Technology and Director of Research at the Harvard GSD. Jenny Sabin, architect, Assistant Professor and Director of Graduate Studies at Cornell University and Dr. Philip Yuan, architect and Professor in the College of Architecture and Planning at Tongji University have confirmed their participation as session chairs. Further keynotes and chairs will be announced shortly.
Call for Work – Deadline 30 July, 2016
What is unique about FABRICATE is that it features cutting-edge built work from both academia and practice. From computational design, to material performance and manipulation, to robotic fabrication, FABRICATE will promote the full spectrum of research and creative practice currently occurring within architecture, construction, engineering, manufacturing, materials technology and computation. The Call for Work is open for submissions of built or partially built projects by individuals or collaborators in academia, practice and industry. The deadline for the initial submission (an abstract of 500 words with 10 images) is 30 July, 2016. Submissions will be reviewed by a panel of experts. Those selected will be notified by 20 August, 2016 and asked to hand in their full submission by 20 September, 2016. All projects should be submitted using the online submittal website EasyChair. All submissions should be blind with no mention of authors, institutions or collaborations.
30.07.2016 Deadline for Call for Work (500 word abstract with 10 images)
20.08.2016 Notification of Work accepted for next stage
20.09.2016 Deadline for full submissions (2,000-2,500 word text and 10-15 high resolution images)
