TEX-FAB Workshop/Symposium | Houston February 2/11 - 2/13

Hi All.

I wanted to alert those that will be in the Houston area in February to the second annual TEX-FAB Event. Branko Kolarevic will be speaking on Thursday and L. William Zahner will be speaking on Friday. I also have some work being exhibited which is in the last link. 

My understanding is that the event is out of student seats but that there may be some professional seats to the workshops still available.

Regards,

Jonathan

TEX-FAB is a Texas-based network of companies, institutions, and individuals focused on providing a platform for the exchange and exploration of issues related to parametric design and digital fabrication. We are focused on providing a platform for the exchange and exploration of issues related to parametric design and digital fabrication and in leveraging the immense resources found in some of the largest metropolitan centers across the United States.

TEX-FAB is uniquely positioned to serve as a bridge between academia, the professional design office, and industrial fabricators throughout the state. Our primary efforts are expressed through three fundamental avenues: lectures, workshops/exhibitions and competitions/commissions. Collectively these components combine to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, information, and the mutual interest in transforming the design process through digital technology.
