Exhibition and Competition
ACADIA Exhibition @ CCA
ACADIA 2012 will feature an exhibition composed of both peer-reviewed projects and topically relevant curated projects. The exhibition will be hosted in the main Nave space at the California College of the Arts in downtown San Francisco.
The "Minimal Complexity" project by Vlad Tenu was the winner of the TEX-FAB REPEAT Digital Fabrication Competition. The final piece was commissioned and built in January 2011 by TEX-FAB.
ACADIA@ACSA Workshop Exhibition
We are currently working with the organizers and sponsors of the ACADIA@ACSA Synthetic Landscapes Workshop in Boston to exhibit their workshop results at ACADIA 2012. Check back for more details soon!
APPLIED Competition & Exhibition
ACADIA 2012 is excited to be collaborating with the organizers of the "APPLIED Research Through Fabrication International Competition" to be exhibiting the second-stage finalists and final stage judging at ACADIA 2012. The APPLIED Competition is co-production of the TEX-FAB, The Digital Fabrication Alliance and ACADIA 2012. It's primary media sponsor will be the Architect's Newspaper. APPLIED is a two-stage international design competition. All submissions will be judged in the first round in San Antonio, from this field of submissions 4 projects will be selected for further design and fabrication development and will be exhibited and judged at ACADIA 2012 in San Francisco, at which time a winner will be selected to complete a full-scale installation for the 4th annual TEX-FAB event in Dallas/Ft. Worth.

We seek research proposals that actively connect academia, the profession and the fabrication industry. As a center of gravity the proposals must illustrate work of designers who are forming an integrated relationship between disciplines in the area they practice and build. As this is a "design to fabricate" competition, the organizers will match their network of fabricators and consultants with the projects that best manifest research through computational fabrication and apply it toward more intelligent integers of materiality and construction. Through a panel of experts we will identify projects that warrant a higher degree of realization and exhibit them to foster a discussion that engages an audience in our region and beyond. From this selection a final project will be selected and optimized with a team of experts for the purpose of full-scale production.
