LECTURE: THOMAS WEAVER



T_ADS is pleased to welcome Thomas Weaver, Editor at the Architectural
Association School of Architecture in London. Join us in Room 415 on Wednesday,
March 14 at 3:00 PM for Tom's lecture, This Has Killed That.

Abstract: This lecture explores architecture's recent and not so recent
infatuation with books and publications and suggests how this has challenged the
primacy of the building in architectural discourse. A parallel narrative will
present one particular publication – the AA School of Architecture's
long-running journal AA Files – through which various orthodoxies of writing and
mediating architecture will be simultaneously historicised and questioned.

Bio: Thomas Weaver is an architectural writer, teacher and editor. Educated at
the Bartlett School of Architecture and then at Princeton University, he
subsequently worked as editor of ANY magazine in New York and taught courses in
architectural theory and design at the Cooper Union. Since 2007 he has worked at
the Architectural Association School of Architecture, where he edits the
award-winning journal AA Files and manages all of the AA’s other publications,
together with visiting lectureships in schools of architecture across Europe.

ROBOT ARM WORKSHOP


Today, we have a robot arm workshop.



We generated a series of commands for the robot arm with Rhinoceros+Grasshopper.



Then we made the robot arm cut some pieces of foam with a heat-wire.
