Flux Exhibition – California College of the Arts
April 27th, 2009
A beautiful exhibition has been designed in which sophisticated software and generative design methods construct a live, engaging, changing, and fascinating structure upon which document briefs merge with offset planes consisting of built and unbuilt work from Architects, designers, and artist. The panorama of individuals and firms en masse utilize computational design and digital material fabrication to construct new, unique, and different forms and spatial experiences in Architecture. The exhibition is called “Flux: Architecture in a Parametric Landscape” and is hosted by the California College of the Arts.
The works exhibited comprise 8 categories ranging from titles such as: Stacked Aggregates; Pixelated fields; Serial Iterations; Material Systems; Emergent Environments; Woven Meshes; Cellular Clusters; and Modular Assemblages. The exhibition features work by Gramazio Kohler, Peter Eisenmann, Jean Nouvel, Herzog & de Meuron, Reiser +Umemoto, IJP Corporation, Columbia GSAPP, Howeler+Yoon, IJP Corporation, Foster&Partners, Toyo Ito, Aranda Lasch & Danial Bosia, Theverymany, and many more.
The description of the exhibition is stated as an exploration in contemporary Architecture and design that creates a relationship with new design methods based in parametric modeling, digital fabrication, and programming through scripts. The exhibition ran from the end of March 2009 and is currently still in place as of this writing.
The CCA media lab in conjunction with California College of the Arts students have made this exhibition a reality and pleasure to experience. A book from CCA media lab has been mentioned to be in production to illustrate in images and text the projects shown in the exhibition.
I have images below from my personal photography of the exhibition that appear at the top of this reporting and follow in closing.

The site is slightly off in Chrome it seems. Just a slight issue though. Good post.

I am very glad I found your website on technorati. Thanks for the sensible critique. Me and my brother were just preparing to do some research about this. I am very happy to see such reliable information being shared for free out there.
Best wishes,

Hi there, I believe that your argued subject is rather thoughtful as it comes with a good deal of good information. By the way, was curious whether you would like to exchange web links with my web site, as I am looking to build links to further spearhead and reach better audience for my web site. I don’t really mind you putting my web links at the main page, just accepting this web links on this particular link is more than enough. By the way, please contact me at my web site if you are keen in swapping links, I would really appreciate that. Thanks and I hope to get a reply from you as soon as possible!
