Intersections 2013: Interoperable Workflow | Innovative Practice
May 31, 2013 - 9:00am-5:00pm
NYC College of Technology, New York, NY

Intersections 2013 is a symposium with lectures and panel discussions by industry leaders, educators, and innovators on the topics of:

• TOOLS: Identifying them, teaching them, and ensuring they play well together.
• INNOVATION: Finding the conditions and opportunities for innovation in both established firms and small start-ups alike.
• MAKING IT WORK: Translating innovative technology into high-impact practice using lessons from the field.

An exhibition of student work will run concurrently with the symposium. The display will focus on new curricular initiatives within the Department of Architectural Technology and will include research and prototypes from courses on foundational digital skills, computational fabrication, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and building performance/energy modeling.

Rhino and V-Ray presentation in Vienna

Presentation Rhino/V-Ray for Rhino/Maya in Vienna

Invitation to "ThreeKC Autodesk Maya / Rhino / VRAY" presentation on Thursday 13 June 2013, 15:00 to 18:30 in the Austrian Social and Economic Museum, Vogelsanggasse 36, 1050 Vienna (Austria).

We invite you to the presentation of the new versions of Rhino, V-Ray for Rhino and Autodesk Maya and show the latest developments in the 3D area.

Roland Reyer presents the new version of Autodesk Maya 2014, Carlos Pérez (McNeel Europe) presents Rhino 5 and food4Rhino, Matus Nedecký (flying architecture) and Fabio Palvelli (3D Dreaming) show V-Ray for Rhino and rendering services for architecture. We also show the new Wacom Cintiq 22 HD touch.

There are 2 events, the first at 15:00 and the second at 18:30. Places are limited to 30 people each.

As a special event you can attend between the 2 events a basic coffee seminar "Coffee - from the plant to the cup". The Coffee Museum in Austrian society and economy museum was founded by Edmund Mayr, who injected together with Arch Wilhelm Holzbauer, the increase of the flak tower in Esterhazy Park. His passion for collecting are also due to the many exhibits that he has collected from all over the world. Additionally Mag. Just shows a quick roundup of "100 Years of Life and Living in Vienna" and how the inventions of Dr. Carl Auer von Welsbach changed the world significantly.

Program:

• 15:00-15:45h: Presentation software Autodesk Maya 2014 (group 1)
• 15:45-16:00h: Tour "100 years of life and living in Vienna / Dr Carl Auer von Welsbach in the Agricultural Museum (Group 1)

Rob|Arch 2014: Second Call for Workshop Proposals

Rob|Arch 2014: Second Call for Workshop Proposals
Workshops: 14.-16.05.2014 / Conference: 17.-18.05.2014

Rob|Arch has been initiated by the Association for Robots in Architecture as a new conference series on the use of robotic fabrication in architecture, art, and design, closely linking industry with cutting-edge research institutions. In December 2012 the conference was hosted by its founders in Vienna, Austria. In 2014 the conference travels to North America, hosted by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, with Wes McGee and Monica Ponce de Leon as conference chair.

Continuing with the previous theme of international collaboration, the conference seeks to bring together artists, designers, fabricators, and industry leaders for the purpose of advancing the discourse surrounding robotic fabrication. Following on the success of Rob|Arch 2012, the conference will again present a series of workshops held at select research institutions on the east coast of the United States, aimed at exposing the advanced capabilities of applied robotic research. Following the workshops, the conference will span two days at the University of Michigan Campus in Ann Arbor, Michigan, about an hour outside of Detroit, the origin of robotics in North America. The internationally renowned publishing house Springer Wien/New York will publish and market the proceedings of the conference worldwide.

For the 2014 event, we are extending a call for workshop proposals. The conference invites proposals by institutions and individuals for workshops related to robotic programming and fabrication until 15^th of June, 2013.

Additional robot capacities by the workshop hosts, University of Michigan and Carnegie Mellon University, and/or industry partners can be made available to the chosen proposals. A total budget of 15.000USD is available to financially support the workshops.
