Performing a less fragmented architectur al education and practice DESCRIPTION:To be held November 15-17, a Symposium, entitled Scaleless - Seamless: Digital Performance, will discuss how Facilitated by the e xtended applications of digital technology in all sectors of productio n, administration, education and consumption, the contemporary world c an be increasingly conceived as a global and systemic environment. All our activities are profoundly influenced by a new condition of fluidi ty and interdependence of various and very often, unpredictable parame ters and factors, introducing us progressively to a systemic and param etric understanding of the world and our position in it. Architecture and the building process are reflecting this new conception of the wor ld by redefining themselves according to new principles and means. The fast development of digital techniques to simulate, represent and gen erate Architecture promises a continuous design process, including the seamless transfer of information between the involved parties and mak ing performance a key issue in the planning process. In this process, concepts of adaptability, transformability and flexibility are replaci ng already tested and secure solutions, customization is replacing sta ndardization and metrics, and digital tools are replacing analogue rep resentations. In these new conditions the scaleless and the seamless a ppear as the two key pillars of the requested integration in contempor ary architectural practice and education. Do the design and planning p ractices and construction industries respond with digital synergies to these new requests? Can the curricula of architecture schools escape from the dominance of traditional fragmentation within their structure and the organisation of the modules and academic units towards more h olistic concepts and workflow? How can the traditionally separate cour ses offered by departments and modules of architectural education inst itutions be redefined in order to assure a scale-less and seamless thi nking about form, materiality and its social and cultural representati ons, its environmental aspects and its urban and contextual references ?\nThe organisers are inviting architects, teachers and researchers of architecture in Europe to present their views, research outcomes and teaching experiences related to the theme of the Conference.\nAn abstr act of 600-700 words must be submitted by September 5, 2012. Please in dicate into which of the five aforementioned themes your abstract fall s. You will be asked to submit your final paper by the 22nd of October 2012 for the publication of the proceedings, which will be distribute d to all EAAE/ENHSA school members.\nFor any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us on info@enhsa.net or info@scaleless-seamle ss.org\n\nFor more information visit https://www.grasshopper3d.com/eve nts/scaleless-seamless-performing-a-less-fragmented-architectural DTSTART;TZID=America/Boise:20121116T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Boise:20121117T190000 CATEGORIES:call, for, papers LOCATION:msa | münster school of architecture WEBSITE:http://www.scaleless-seamless.org URL:http://www.scaleless-seamless.org CONTACT: ORGANIZER;CN="Sven Pfeiffer":https://www.grasshopper3d.com/profile/Sve nPfeiffer ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/ file/get/2828044951?profile=original ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Andrew R eynolds":https://www.grasshopper3d.com/profile/AndrewReynolds ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Sven Pfe iffer":https://www.grasshopper3d.com/profile/SvenPfeiffer END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
