Opening Remarks: Robert Geddes. William R. Kenan, Jr., Professor of Architecture, Emeritus; 1st Dean of Architecture, School of Architecture, Princeton University - "make it NEW, make it FIT, make it CIVIL"
Backwards+Forwards Symposium
May 29, 2014
Organized by Forrest Meggers
"From the bioclimatic design of the Olgyays and the lighting computations of Labatut, to the structures of Billington and the energy efficient building systems of Socolow, Princeton University scholars have been making important contributions to architectural technology for decades. Backwards+Forwards will present the exciting work of current researchers, and the expansion of future research at the Archtectural Laboratory with the recently launched Embodied Computation Lab and its industrial robot. These new developments will be presented in the context of the important work done historically in the space, which remain significant today to the quest for better building systems and design methodologies."
