FreeFormFab

Workshop Advanced Architectural Structures

The architectural community has in recent years undergone a radical transformation in terms of the geometric forms being realised. Specifically, buildings with irregularly curved surface forms have begun to proliferate. This has been facilitated by enormous progress in the capability of CNC fabrication and design technologies. It has also been furthered by the endorsement of so many of the key contemporary architects such as Gehry, Foster or Hadid. The issue today is no longer can a design be built, but rather, which technique is best suited to realise the concept. 

Given the increasing interest in the utilisation of free-form building forms the Technical University Eindhoven is organising a workshop on the design of such advanced architectural structures. FreeFormFab is one of the partners in this yearly returning program together with TNO Industry, Rhinoceros and Kurvenbau.

The Program runs from 9 until 13 March 2009 at the Technical University Eindhoven. Part of the program is a series of workshops and a number of evening lectures that can be attended separately. Participants can be students, architects, designers, techno-starters and companies. Participants must be familiar with CAD programs. There will be a small admission fee. In most cases a small SenterNovem Innovation voucher is possible.
