Held for the fifth time in 2024, FABRICATE is an international peer-reviewed conference with supporting publication on the theme of constructing architecture. Discussing the progressive integration of digital design with manufacturing processes, and its impact on constructed environments in the 21st century, FABRICATE brings together pioneers in design and making within architecture, engineering, manufacturing, material science, and computation.
Founded in 2011, the triennial event has explored themes that include: how digital fabrication technologies are enabling new creative and construction opportunities from component to building scales, the difficult gap that exists between digital modelling and its realisation, material performance and manipulation, off-site and on-site construction, interdisciplinary education, economic and sustainable contexts, circularity and repurposing.
