Monolithic Earthen Shells and Robotic Fabrication by InnoChain IAAC PhD candidate Stephanie Chaltiel and IAAC Faculty Maite Bravo has been awarded with the Acadia Autodesk Emerging Research Prize.

During the last ACADIA Conference the organisation has been pleased to announce the recipients of the 2017 Autodesk ACADIA Emerging Research Awards. These awards are made possible by the support of Autodesk, and they recognize outstanding peer-reviewed research (one paper and one project) presented at this year’s conference.

The 2017 ACADIA Conference Disciplines & Disruption initiates a dialog about the state of the discipline of architecture and the impact of technology in shaping or disrupting design, methods and cultural fronts.

For the past 30 years, distinctive advancements in technologies have delivered unprecedented possibilities to architects and enabled new expressions, performance, materials, fabrication and construction processes.

This conference provides a platform to investigate the shifting landscape of the discipline today, and to help define and navigate the future.
