i.M.A.D.E hosted an international symposium entitled “Manufacturing Material Effects: Rethinking Design and Making in Architecture” at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
Architecture as a material practice implies that making, the close engagement of the material, is intrinsic to a design process. Material effects, such as pattern, texture, relief, or varying properties, become the means through which [...]

i.M.A.D.E thanks the Indiana Innovation Network for there generous support of the “Digital Fabrication: Focus on Indiana” Symposium.

i.M.A.D.E thanks Access Technology Across Indiana (ATAIN) for there generous support of the “Digital Fabrication: Focus on Indiana” Symposium.

i.M.A.D.E is pleased to announce that streaming video from the Digital Fabrication ATAIN symposium is available at the Indiana Innovation Network website. The video includes all speaker sessions including David McLean’s (Thornton-Tomasetti Group Chicago) and Tony Birchler’s (A.Zahner Metals) keynotes.

From simple household products to building components for complex structures, landscapes, and interiors, this summit focused on how Indiana manufacturers could employ Digital Fabrication and Rapid Prototyping processes as one strategy to compete with overseas manufacturing concerns. Products made out of wood, limestone, concrete, steel, plastic, and recycled materials can all be produced faster and [...]
