This year's Symposium, Non-Standard GEOMETRY, will take
place on April 2008 in Mexico City. The conference is supported
by a consortium of some of Mexico City's leading universities including:
UNAM (Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico), the UAS (Universidad
Anahuac Mexico Sur), the ULSA (Universidad La Salle), and the ITESM
(Instituto Tecnologico de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey).
This
year's theme: Non-Standard GEOMETRY, is a timely one and
conceived to attract the interest of Mexican faculty, students and
young professionals who represent diverse positions within the discipline
of Architecture.
In addition to its appeal to a professional and academic audience,
the conference will also be of great interest to the growing number
of laymen interested in Contemporary Architectural thought.
The
event is produced and curated by node, an architectural firm with
offices in New York, Istanbul and Mexico City. node works to advance
Avant-Garde Architectural Research and to promote its global impact.
It is node's intent, through the Annual Symposium, to bring the
world's most compelling architectural thinkers together in Mexico
City. This year participants will be invited to discuss the origins
and development of the potentialities of Geometry within Architecture
and Architectural Research.
Over
the past couple of years we have brought together a very highly
regarded group of practitioners including Thom Mayne/Morphosis,
Liz Diller/Diller+Scofidio, Neil Denari/NMDA, Bill MacDonald/KOL+MAC,
Jesse Reiser/ Reiser+Umemoto RUR, Evan Douglis/Evan Douglis Studio,
Coren Sharples/SHoP, Chris Perry/SERVO, Hernan Diaz-Alonso/Xefirotarch,
Marcelo Spina/ P-a-t-t-e-r-n-s, Alisa Andrasek/Biothing, Alicia
Imperiale/Princeton, to participate in our Symposium.
At
the present time a distinguished panel of advisors in New York is
assisting node in the development of the actual conceptual framework
and structure of the event. As it currently stands, the event will
be organized around lectures and round-table discussions of such
themes as: physical matter and geometry, generation of geometry,
material experimentation, virtual practice, contemporary fabrication
techniques and computational techniques, etc.
