 Take Note at the CCATake Note presents selected pivotal moments in the ongoing relationship between writing and architecture.The event is the fifth in a series of CCA exhibitions developed in collaboration with universities. Take Note is the result of a research seminar led by Sylvia Lavin in the Department of Architecture and Urban Design at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). "Take Note concludes the first phase in a series of CCA exhibitions developed in collaboration with universities," commented Mirko Zardini, Director and Chief Curator of the CCA. "It reflects the CCA's mandate as an international research centre that initiates close partnerships with academic and cultural institutions worldwide. This research and exhibition are of crucial importance at a time when we are re-examining the role of architecture within a changing society and environment." Presented in the CCA's Octagonal Gallery and seven Hall Cases, the exhibition explores the intellectual dimension of architecture, specifically the ways in which architects visualise their ideas and transcribe them in their notes, producing writings that contribute to cultural advancement and transform architecture by tying it to developments in various spheres. event ends May 30, 2010 United States view on map more design events more Take Note at the CCA design directory CCA: The Canadian Centre for Architecture > Architecture Museums added by Levent OZLER |

 Reflexive Architecture MachinesReflexive Architecture Machines exhibition in the UB Art Gallery's Second Floor Gallery presents faculty and student research in responsive materials conducted at the Center for Architecture and Situated Technologies at the University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Urban Planning.It displays the products of the design lab, presented through drawings, models, tools, material studies and working prototypes that demonstrate the process by which projects are conceived, researched, and developed. The exhibition envisions architecture that is self-organizing, capable of transforming itself in response to changes in its environment or use. It re-imagines how we shape and assemble conventional materials, like rubber, plastic, and wood through a combination of material and computational processes to develop more complex relations between parts and wholes. This fundamentally challenges the static nature of conventional building materials and sensitizes them to the ephemeral and dynamic qualities of environmental conditions like heat, moisture, air chemistry and gravity. upcoming event Feb 11 - May 20, 2010 United States view on map more upcoming events more info www.uba...
