“The last 12 years of FABRICATE provide a record of incredible critical creativity and community consolidation that reflects and celebrates the pushing of boundaries of fabrication within the built environment. We are delighted to be given the opportunity to frame a contribution to this record through co-chairing FABRICATE 2024 at the Royal Danish Academy. Our vision for FABRICATE2024 is to address the pressing need to develop new models for architectural production that rethink how resource is deployed, its intensity, its socio-ecological origins and sensitivity to environment. FABRICATE2024 will provide a unique forum for discussing and showcasing radical and creative departures in the design and making of architecture and to reflect upon how, and for whom, we design.”

Testimonials

  • FABRICATE 2024 offered a fantastic moment to reconvene our community and extend the conference’s long-standing commitment to innovation by opening new agendas on resource awareness, circularity, and reclamation that challenge our current ways of working.

    Professor Mette Ramsgaard ThomsenCITA
  • FABRICATE is a highly agile organisation bringing together cutting edge architectural and construction practice with academic research and innovation across architecture, design, material science and engineering, regenerative and circular practices. Every conference and book shifts the global dial.

  • FABRICATE stands out as a leading conference that meaningfully connects academic research with industry practice, making architectural innovation tangible through exemplary built projects.

    Kai StrehlkeDirector Blumer-Lehmann AG
  • At FABRICATE 2024 I had the honour to present to a large audience of scientists, designers, fabricators and entrepreneurs that are pulling our Architecture Engineering Construction sector into the future. Learning from the presentations of trailblazing innovators for 2 days was an audio-visual delight, memorable, deeply insightful, thought provoking, and inspiring.
