A Material World – George Beylerian
Material use and understanding has increasingly become more directly linked to architectural practice and to architectural education. The tactile and aesthetic qualities of materials have always been of comparable measure to design, construction and architectural experience. But now, emergent materials and their associated technologies are rapidly altering the way designers work and the way end-users engage buildings. This series seeks to address the ever-expanding world of materials and their incorporation into our built environment.
The RDA Fall 2010 Lecture Series, A Material World, will focus on materials and material practices—digital fabrication, integrated practice, and cutting-edge designs—as they relate to and are employed by the built environment. Speakers include academics and architects who focus on material use and technologies in innovative ways.
