SmartGeometry 2010 Barcelona
The SmartGeometry Group is pleased to announce that the annual SG event will take place in Barcelona 19th – 24th March 2010. The event will be the key event in the year for discussing, learning and networking about the emerging practice of digital parametrics within the AEC community.
The event will come in three parts, a Workshop (19th-22th March), a public Shop Talk (23rd March), and a public Symposium and Reception (24th March). These events follow the highly successful previous SG events in San Francisco 2009, Munich 2008, New York 2007, Cambridge/London, UK 2006 and multiple preceding events.

WORKSHOP
The 2010 SmartGeometry Workshop is organised around the challenge
‘Working prototypes’. Working prototypes are functioning prototypes developed for the purpose of proving and testing a concept and design. This puts fabrication and the physical at centre stage in challenging participants to design, assemble and test working prototypes.
The SG workshop is a unique creative cauldron attracting attendees from across the world of academia, professional practice as well as many of the brightest students. The workshop is open to 100 applicants who come together for four intensive days of design and collaboration.

SHOP TALK
One day of informal discussions between leading practitioners and emerging talent in digital design, offering an inside perspective on how design prototypes are conceived, created, and tested. Shop Talk explores how the state of the art is forged in the studio.
Shop Talk discussions will be moderated by:
Eric Ellingsen Institut für Raumexperimente, Brady Peters CITA, Xavier de Kestelier Foster+Partners/Syracuse University, Joy Ko RISD/Brown, Jeroen Coenders Arup/TU Delft, Rob Woodbury Simon Fraser University, Axel Kilian Princeton University, Makai Smith Bentley Systems, Jenny Sabin/ Peter Lloyd Jones LabStudio/University of Pennsylvania.
