LaN announces its third On Site Barcelona workshop August 23rd through 29th at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IaaC): Live Parameters.
One of the key elements in any associative design model is the data to which it responds. The ‘Live Parameters’ workshop will investigate several modes for interacting with real time, real life data [...]

Code, Form, Space Mini-Symposium
Algorithmic processes, harnessed through the medium of code, allow creators to generate complex forms and organic structures by the application of elementary but carefully-tuned sets of rules. Digital fabrication systems, such as computer-controlled laser cutters, 3D printers, and machining systems, offer a nearly instantaneous way [...]

‘PLECTIC THINKING’
Aaron Willette
After completing his B.Arch and a quick stint as an intern, Aaron decided to return to academia at his Alma Mater where he current runs the model shop and is a permanent guest-critic. His current interests relate to the intersection of craft, contemporary fabrication technique (analog and digital), and design.

![[WIND]STUDIO REVIEW / Prof. Bradley remarks](http://www.livearchitecture.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/msu0031-310x150.png)
Prof. Bradley on Digital FABRICation
Material – Fabric:
Given any design project I believe it is essential to not only understand its limits through quantities (MOE, tensile strength, compressive strength) but to also have a tactile connection to the material being used within the design. Fabric, as is generally the impression, is a somewhat two-dimensional object/surface with [...]

LaN is now engaged in SESSION 2 of MSU’s Visiting Scholar Studio, [WIND]STUDIO. LaN director Monika WIttig is on-site in Bozeman OCT 5 – OCT 18.
MSU STUDIO RIDES ON WITH THE WIND
Session 01 ran with a focus on ‘TOOLS’ –exploring designs capable of interacting in extreme contexts (driven by GRASSHOPPER, a parametric plug-in for RHINO). [...]
