Oct. 2009 to Jul. 2010 Masters in Advanced Design
It is pleasure to announce that at the Master of Advanced Design Space and Materials, we are working at full capacity to offer the best training in the new tools, strategies and theories in contemporary architecture.
Just remind you that our objectives are to:
- Training students with the most innovative digital tools in architecture, as well as providing the theoretical and most contemporary strategies for design.
- Providing world certified lecturers and tutors among who are, George Jeronimidis, Mike Weinstock, Kas Osterhuis, Achim Menges, Neil Leach, Marc Fornes, Jordi Truco and many others.
- Create links and relationships with other masters or architectural practices such as Delft Hyperbody Group, Architectural Association of London. Pratt Institute New York, Buro Happold London.
- Working in the construction of 1:1 scale prototypes using the most advanced technologies, as demonstrators of the research we conducted at the Masters.
- Finish the course with a publication in order to disseminate investigations and projects created in the laboratory.
If you have not yet registered, please contact Elisava
The Master is limited and has registration deadline.
Counting on you to create this research group.

28.06. - 30.06.2010 Design and Nature 2010 - Call for Papers
Fifth International Conference on Comparing Design in Nature with Science and Engineering in Pisa, Italy
The Design and Nature Conference is to be reconvened in 2010 following the success of previous meetings, the first of which was held in Udine, Italy in 2002, followed by the second in Rhodes, Greece in 2004, a third in the New Forest, UK, in 2006, and the last one in the Algarve, Portugal in 2008.
Throughout history, many leading thinkers have been inspired by the parallels between nature and human design, in mathematics, engineering and other areas.Today, the huge increase in biological knowledge, developments in design engineering systems, together with the growth in computer power and the developments in simulation modelling, have all made more comprehensive studies of nature possible.
17.10. - 20.10.2010 Bioinspired Materials Engineering - Call for Papers
Materials Science and Technology 2010 Conference and Exhibition in Houston, Texas
The purpose of this symposium is to present the results of current basic and applied research work, with emphasis on multidisciplinary methods adopted from biological processes and their potential applications. We are encouraging contributions from research groups working in the fields of: molecular recognition and self-assembly, hierarchical patterning; structure/ properties relationships, biotemplating; materials synthesis mediated by microorganisms (bacteria, virus, fungi, algae), biopolymer/ceramic composites. Microstructure pattern formation for functional materials by bioinspired techniques leads to hierarchically structured functional materials with improved and designed (piezo-)electrical, magnetic and catalytic properties.
Assembly of periodical patterns with local control of materials composition is of particular interest for optical and photonic devices. The vision for bio-inspired materials provides potential applications as novel light-weight structural materials, highefficiency catalysts and improved biomedical materials with stimuli-adaptive, self-assembly and self-repairing properties.
Presentations including patterning procedures such as biomineralization, self-assembly, sol-gel procedures, solid state synthesis soft lithographic methods and layer-by-layer deposition with the focus on materials functions and properties are welcome.
