Live Architecture Network is an organization that directs global workshops on digital design and fabrication in architecture for academic and client-based projects. LAN brings their workshop to Cambridge next month for “Architectural Response: Time, Tech, Tectonics”.
Its clear in 2010 perhaps more than ever that significant shifts in economies and culture can occur extremely rapidly; climatic crisis can devastate enormous populations in seconds. Our architectural response time is critical. The architectural recourse of one crisis needs to be more than a temporary fix as it is often the only opportunity to implement further preventative measures for a future occurrence.
Parametric practices are moving architectural design on a micro-scale through dynanic modeling & on more significantly on a macro-scale towards a dynamic architectural medium–a Live practice. LaN asks you to abandon representation modes of design and practice LIVE.
“Architectural Response: Time, Tech, Tectonics” will be held April 12-14 and will consist of a combination lectures, instructionals, and directed worksessions. The workshop will take place at the Microsoft New England Research and Development Center (yes, that’s NERD) in Kendall Square.
Registration for the three-day workshop ranges from $255 for students who register early, to $395 for professionals. Want to go but can’t afford it? You can apply online for 1 of 2 available scholarships.
