Martin Tamke: "Convergence"
The fourth open lecture in the series Architectural Technology invites Martin Tamke of CITA, the Center for Information Technology and Architecture in Copenhagen, to give a lecture with the subtitle "Material and Digital systems in architectural research".
Tid: Ti 2013-11-19 kl 17.00
Plats: Room A3, KTH School of Architecture, Östermalmsgatan 26
Medverkande: Martin Tamke
Martin Tamke is Associate Professor at CITA , the Centre for Information Technology and Architectureat the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture in Copenhagen. He is pursuing a design led research on the interface and implications of computational design and its materialization. Tamke joined CITA in 2006 and shaped its design based research practice. Projects on new design and fabrication tools for wood production, curved creased surfaces or fractal systems led to a series of digitally fabricated speculative probes, prototypes and 1:1 demonstrators and recently the research driven digitally design and production of the exhibition “It’s a small world” in the Danish Design Centre. He has taught workshops at Vienna, Berlin, Barcelona, St. Petersburg, Hamburg, Istanbul, Moscow, Copenhagen and Aarhus.
About the series:
KTH School of Architecture - Architectural Technology Lectures Series Fall 2013
What is research in the realm of architectural design?
Novel technologies, materials and fabrication methods constantly enter the field of architecture. However, these innovations can only contribute to the discipline if they are integrated into a coherent process from design to production. In recent years many architects conducted extensive research and significantly contributed to technological innovations. The development of parametric design and simulation tools through a global open source community or a novel interpretation of the use of industrial robots exemplifies the power of design thinking. This lecture series features PhD students and researchers from practice and international leading research groups. They will present and discuss their view on research within the field of design and talk about projects, research tools and methodologies.
The lecture series is organised by Oliver Tessmann, Assistant Professor at the KTH School of Architecture. The event is funded by the FORMAS through the Strong Research Environment Architecture in the Making .
