Acadia 2017, Boston: Paper Presented on the ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion 2016/2017
Acadia 2017
James (ESR08) and Sam (ESR12) both attended the Acadia 2017 “Disciplines and Disruption” Conference at MIT in Boston, 2nd-4th November 2017.
During the conference, our colleagues from the ICD (Institute of Computational Design and Construction) presented the paper:

AUTHORS: James Solly and Saman Saffarian
Lightweight, Long-Span Fibrous Construction
Since October 2015 Sam and James have been working on the ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion 2016/2017 that was developed within the ITECH Master Studio....
If material gradient is the answer, then what was the question !
If FRP is the material solution for climate adaptive building envelopes, then the question is, how will it impact architecture.
