No es extraño que Branko Kolarevic y Kevin Klinger se hallan reunido para publicar Manufacturing Material Effects: Rethinking Design and Making in Architecture. Impreso en dos presentaciones por Routledge del grupo Taylor & Francis, aún en lista de espera y próximo a salir este 30 de setiembre, el libro es el esperado resultado del Simposio Internacional: MMFX SYMPOSIUM que organizaron entre el 6 al 7 de Abril del 2007 en Indiana, bajo el patrocinio del Institute for Digital Fabrication de Ball State University donde ambos se encargaron de la realización y convocatoria.
La lista de conferencistas que forman este volumen son:
- Material Practices: Chris Sharples/SHoP (New York, USA)
- Interdisciplinary Relationships: Innovation Through Collaboration: Ruben Suare / 3form (Salt Lake City, USA)
- Architect/Robot/Fabricator/Craft-worker: Jeanne Gang / Studio Gang Architects (Chicago, USA)
- Cut to Fit: Frank Barkow / Barkow Leibinger (Berlin, Germany)
- Thinking Versus Making: Remediating Design: Practice in the Age of Digital Representation
- Material Effects: A Fabricator’s Viewpoint: William Zahner / Zahner Architectural Metals (Kansas City, USA) + Phil Bernstein / Autodesk & Yale University (New Haven, USA)
- Towards a Digital Materiality: Fabio Gramazio & Matthias Kohler / Gramazio/Kohler & ETH (Zurich, Switz.)
- Computation and Materiality: Marta Malé-Alemany & José Pedro Sousa / ReD (Barcelona, Spain & Porto, Portugal)
- The Possibility of (an) Architecture: Mark Goulthorpe / dECOi & MIT (Cambridge, USA)
- Ambient and Augmented Architectures: Parametric Pedagogies in the Electrified Studio Brett Steele / Architectural Association (London, UK)
