[En]Coding Architecture 2013

07 – 09 February 2013

[En]Coding Architecture 2013, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh

Registration is open, Call for Projects is open

Theme:

The architect is no longer an organizer of matter and space, but a designer of systems with multi-layered components and increasingly complex relationships. [En]Coding Architecture 2013 invites rising superstars, experienced researchers and designers to present experimental work derived through computational thinking and digital making. [En]Coding Architecture 2013 positions the field as an alloy of programming, digital tooling, art and science. This conference synthesizes new trajectories for the profession within the context of tectonics, cultural philosophy, architectural theory and geopolitics.  Undeniably, there is a global desire to re-discuss architecture now.
