ACADIA Conference and Exhibition
Students from the Media, Architecture and Computing (m.a.c) program and the Situated Technologies Research Group (STRG) were well represented at the exhibition at this year’s ACADIA conference, Silicon + Skin.
The juried exhibition, curated by Billie Faircloth (Kieran Timberlake Associates) and Kiel Moe (Northeastern University), included recent m.a.c graduate Nick Bruscia’s thesis project, Allotropic Systems, STRG graduate James Brucz’s Elastic Catenaries and STRG students Ashley Latona’s and Raf Godlewski’s, Polyp Surface. Nick, Raf and Ashley also participated in the Generative Components workshop.
In addition, Omar Khan presented a paper, Reconfigurable Molds as Architecture Machines, that highlighted his and student research in parametric “fabbers”. These architecture machines explore the confluence of computational processes with material properties to develop parts that can be combined to create more complex wholes.
