3rd International Conference on Biodigital Architecture & Genetics

The 3rd International Conference on Biodigital Architecture & Genetics will take place on June 7th-10th in Barcelona, Spain. In the twenties and thirties of the 20th century, when some architects were disposed systematically to configure modern world, they did it stimulated for a cultural pressure, for a correct adaptation to new times, and fighting for minimum conditions of human existence. On the other hand, today the urgency is bigger. It is about the entire planetary subsistence. The question is not any more a simple caprice, neither an intellectual necessity, neither sensibility for losing less favoured people. Now, the necessity is global, without reservations of classes, races or religions. The whole planet is in front of danger of no-sustainability for all mankind. By chance, now in this crucial moment, are offered new techniques of an enormous potential: biological techniques and digital techniques. And even fusion of both, in something that can be named biodigital architecture.

Conference topics include: Biodigital research, teaching and professional experiences; Nature’s geometry in architecture; Emerging design strategies; Generative algorithms; Bionic design; Natural processes of formalization; Bio-learning methods in architecture; Topological and continuous architecture; Morphodinamic vs. morphogenetic strategies in architecture; Fusion of computation and genetics in design; New methods of biodigital production; Digital conception and fabrication;  and Biodigital and genetic architecture visualization.
