maryam FAYYAZ: The E – formations research project asserts that architecture takes place on the edge of real and virtual. Virtual is projected onto the real to create alternate spaces and multiply the experience of the user. In this way architecture exists in layers and user has the control to switch in between the different layers of experience. It erases the concept of location and orientation for the person within the space and is very much the same phenomena as on the World Wide Web where we exist as text and image – phantoms of our own selves.

FFM: Form Active Tension Systems offer an intuitive means of gaining direct and tangible knowledge of systems with degrees of complexity typically beyond our capacity, or desire, to engage as designers. Form, Force, Matter investigates this territory through simulation and its application within architectural design.

reynolds DIAZ jr / chris DORSEY: Chelsea has an interestingly diverse mixture of programmatic activity. In this diversity, a constant flux between private and public interfaces resolves in a fragmented spatial matrix. Program increasingly divides as you move away from the Hudson River. As a result, this filtration of program continues throughout the site.

ACADIA 2010 will focus on the changing nature of information and its impact on architectural education, research, and practice. The conference will gather leading practitioners, theorists, and researchers who will examine the relation that architecture has with technology and information, and how the latter propels today’s most innovative design experimentation and research. ACADIA 2010 will be centered on a series of keynote lecturers, invited panelists, peer-reviewed essay sessions – included on a proceedings publication- and two groundbreaking exhibition including peer-reviewed projects -featured in an exhibition catalog-.
