Digital Tectonics

[One of Chris's beautiful designs.]

There is a cool conference at my school on the 2nd of March. Here is the quip from the Digital Tectonics web page:

This will be the second in the RIBA Future Studies series of conferences looking at the impact of digital technologies on the disciplines of architecture and engineering. It will focus on how digital technologies have opened up new possibilities in the fields of architectural design, structural engineering, material composition and construction technique, and in particular, new collaborative ventures between architects and engineers.

It’s great to see my own University hosting a conference related to my own reseach, especially since there is not all that much of this digital design stuff going on in the school. And yet Bath is beginning to make a name for itself in this area. The poster image is one of Chris Williams’s beautiful bone-like structures.
