Filmed in October 2008 at the second international conference on the changing state of materials in architecture with the participation of prominent architects and engineers, hosted by Columbia University, Graduate School of Architecture. Concrete is entering a renewed era of development with worldwide implications and under radically new economic circumstances. What are the futures of concrete in architecture and engineering in terms of technologies of reinforcement, materials science, geographic production, installation, and environmental impact? Where will innovation happen and what will instigate potentials in design and engineering? Will alternate techniques create a virtual strain or quasi-alloy, leading to a potential realm of coordinated material action? |

The participants of the conference:
The Columbia conference on architecture, engineering, and materials explores the boundaries between materials science, engineering, and design. A new generation of professionals and manufactures will be trying to fuse engineering and architectural practices into radical platforms for decisive urban action. |
