Leading educators, architects, engineers, fabricators, contractors, and other industry experts across a range of related industries gathered to explore new approaches that address the chronic adversarial atmosphere that has inhibited the progress of the AEC industry for many years. The think tank is designed as an open dialogue that simultaneously pushes today’s industry leaders to think differently and informs educators on trends that could transform how the next generation of architectural professionals are educated.

Participants for the 2011 C-BIP Stuttgart Think Tank are being asked to rethink the future of the building industry in four 60-minute sessions of short pecha-kucha style presentations followed by roundtable discussions. We seek provocative and speculative ideas across four broad themes of Materials, Processes, Assemblies and Facilities as they pertain to the conceptual and applied topic of Manufacturing in the built environment. Engaging those who operate embedded in the physicality of realizing the building industry, we hope to open a dialog across the professions, between the academy and practice, and with the global network of the contemporary environment.

C-BIP is a three year pilot project comprised of a series of local and international Think Tanks coordinated with the Integrated Design Studios (IDS) and associated research seminars at the GSAPP. The project was launched in the fall of 2009 with a Think Tank in New York, followed London in June 2010, a third in Tokyo in November 2010, and returning to New York in February 2011 to recommence the annual sequence . The Think Tanks act as a catalyst to establish a broad foundation for the C-BIP Integrated Design Studio that takes place each spring. As a pioneer of digital design and one of the leaders in contemporary thought in architectural education, Columbia University GSAPP is dedicated to fostering discussion and debate about the future of the AEC industry through academic research and professional instruction in order to develop the next generation of industry leaders. Exploring new forms of industry collaboration is the key to a successful future and will lead to a renewed connection between designers and builders.

INTRODUCTIONS

Columbia University : GSAPP : Laboratory for Applied Building Science Phillip Anzalone, AIA

Mark WigleyDean Columbia University GSAPP

“It’s not clear what we will have learned on this journey. This is exactly the point, that if we knew what we would have learned, we would have not started the journey. It’s a journey simply to ask some of the top professionals of the world to speak what is at the top of their minds at the moment. To ask what is on the top of their minds is to get some sort of feeling for the shape of the questions that are urgently facing the field. Architecture, engineering, manufacturing, all of these disciplines are facing a future that is extremely exciting but is also unclear.”

Werner SobekProfessor and Director

Stuttgart University ILEK

“We are normally sitting in a “Think Tent.” Somehow the tent and what goes on in the tent perfectly coincides with what happens in the tank. I wish everyone a very fruitful afternoon.”

PANEL 1MANUFACTURED MATERIALSMaterials are the foundation of the built environment and exist as the fundamental elements from which we construct. There have been extraordinary innovations in the development, production and improvement of materials. The !rst session, Manufactured Materials explores how the building industry engages material science as a critical partner in the application and development of these manufactured materials? And asks what the desired materials of the future will be?

Columbia University : GSAPP : Laboratory for Applied Building Science Phillip Anzalone, AIA

PANEL 2MANUFACTURED PROCESSESProcesses employ the materials of the built environment and create new possibilities for design and construction. The second session Manufacturing Processes investigates how these modes of production currently perform (or underperform) and asks how these processes can be improved and integrated to better serve the industry.

Columbia University : GSAPP : Laboratory for Applied Building Science Phillip Anzalone, AIA

PANEL 3MANUFACTURED ASSEMBLIESAssembling parts into wholes across multiple scales requires intense coordination of global networks and parallel processes that de!ne the way the industries currently work. The third session Manufactured Assemblies examines innovative methods to develop products and environments that are realized through complex logistical oversight, ef!cient integration and design intent.

Columbia University : GSAPP : Laboratory for Applied Building Science Phillip Anzalone, AIA

PANEL 4MANUFACTURED FACILITIESFacilities are simultaneously a location of potential and embody a capacity for exchange. The final session Manufactured Facilities considers the results of the various processes that create elements that make up the built environment: buildings, infrastructure and sites of opportunity.

Traditional tensegrity form-finding processes involve iterative model making exercises or complex linear equations to solve for the indeterminate forms associated with the structural system.

One analytical form finding method exists that requires the designer to predefine cable length but then calculates the compression strut ratio directly without involving the iterative process.1
