Below is an excerpt from the press release:

FABRICATE is an international peer reviewed conference with supporting publication and exhibition to be held at The Building Centre in London from 15-16 April 2011. Discussing the progressive integration of digital design with manufacturing processes, and its impact on design and making in the 21st century, FABRICATE will bring together pioneers in design and making within architecture, construction, engineering, manufacturing, materials technology and computation.

FABRICATE welcomes original, innovative and pioneering projects for the Call for Work. Submission requirements emphasize strong and informative visual material with succinct analytical text and project synopsis.

Selected submissions will be featured together with articles from conference keynote speakers Mark Burry, Philip Beesley, Neri Oxman and Matthias Kohler in the book ‘FABRICATE: Making Digital Architecture’ to be published by Riverside Architectural Press. Selected submissions will also be invited to speak at the FABRICATE conference where the book will be launched.

FABRICATE Will also host the UK’s first exhibition of Gramazio & Kohler’s brick laying robot “R-O-B” which will be performing its magic throughout the conference.
