TEX-FAB 3.0 APPLIED: Research through Fabrication Conference + Workshops

TEX-FAB 3.0 will take place in San Antonio, Texas beginning on Friday April 13th and run through Sunday April 15th. Hosted by the College of Architecture at University of Texas and San Antonio, the event will have a day of presentations and a closing lecture preceding a weekend of workshops. THEME This year TEX-FAB 3.0 looks at the role of research in architecture. Entitled APPLIED: Research through Fabrication the conference examines growing and diverse platforms of architectural exploration. These platforms are heterogeneous in expression yet are similar in a commitment to push for a more legitimized use of research to impact the way architecture is defined and constructed. Bound by a common understanding that the previous divisions of Academic and Professional are no longer relevant, new fertile organizations are developing research agendas that satisfy a larger discourse of the contemporary architectural debate.
