  New Technologies in Architecture II & III

Harvard University
Graduate School of Design



Preface

Two one-day symposia continued the inquiries initiated in a groundbreaking symposium, held at the GSD in 2000, addressing new developments in computer-aided design and manufacturing technologies and exploring how design and design practice are affected. Both symposia were structured around case studies and cross-disciplinary discussion, bringing together leading individuals and companies currently engaged in the field. The presenters included architects, engineers, manufacturers, contractors and artists - all of whom engage these emerging technologies in new and innovative ways.
