FABRICATE 2024 Call for Work
FABRICATE2024 marks a watershed moment. Collectively, we stand at a juncture where conventional methods of resource acquisition and industrial production are recognised as primary contributors to ecological disruption. New research-led approaches for responsible fabrication and production are required to rethink how resource is deployed, its intensity, its socio-ecological origins and sensitivity to environment.
FABRICATE2024 calls for radical departures in architectural design and production and offers a chance to reflect upon how, and for whom, we design.
Over the last 12 years FABRICATE has consolidated a large and diverse global inter-sector community with power and capacity for real change making. For FABRICATE2024 we want to focus this capacity on the following questions:
- What is the future of fabrication in a resource challenged world?
- How might we rethink the role of computation to reshape fabrication in response to new resource streams, waste upcycling, novelrenewables and challenged supply chains?
- What are the methods and tools that can effect these changes?
- What are the scales of change needed and how do we address the ethical implications of building fabrication culture as a globalisedpractice?
The FABRICATE2024 call seeks paper submissions that offer perspectives and tangible efforts to address these questions through the optic of fabrication, demonstrated
through built or work-in-progress projects. Our aim for FABRICATE 2024 is to interrogate, debate, and document the plurality of cutting-edge and disruptive models of design and production that are emerging in response to these challenges and questions.
