April 4 - April 6
FABRICATE 2024 – Creating Resourceful Futures
On April 4 – 6 the international conference FABRICATE 2024 will be held at the Royal Danish Academy, Copenhagen. Co-Chaired by Head of Centre for Information Technology and Architecture Professor Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen and Chair for Biohybrid Architecture Professor Phil Ayres, this fifth edition of FABRICATE will build upon and extend its legacy as a prime place of exchange on the cutting-edge of new forms of design and construction and material thinking in architecture, engineering and building.
FABRICATE 2024 asks how rethinking architectural methods, technology and construction can create a new societal position for the built environment, appointing a particular focus on questions of resource consciousness and bio-based design and fabrication strategies.
Keynotes are:
- Zhu Pei, Studio Zhu Pei (CN)
- Anna Dyson, Yale Center for Ecosystems in Architecture (US)
- Indy Johar, Dark Matter Labs and Architecture 00 (UK)
- Anders Lendager, Lendager (DK)
The conference is structured around 4 sessions of cutting-edge paper presentations from research and
industry:
- RECLAIM: Circularity and Reuse
- LOCALISE: Sourcing and Performance
- INTEGRATE: Systems and Context
- RATIONALISE: Elements and Assemblies
The sessions are each followed by open discussions moderated by:
- Jenny Sabin, Jenny Sabin Studio and Cornell APP
- Kathrin Dörfler, Technische Universität München
- Mariana Popescu, TU Delft
- Leslie Lok, Director of the Rural-Urban Building Innovation Lab, Cornell University
‘Our vision for FABRICATE 2024 is to address the pressing need to develop new models for architectural production that rethink how resource is deployed, its intensity, its socio-ecological origins and sensitivity to environment. We see FABRICATE 2024 as a unique forum for discussing and showcasing radical and creative
departures in the design and making of architecture and to reflect upon how, and for whom, we design.’
Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen and Phil Ayres
