Abstract: | The material and fabrication research of architectural applications for aerogel was the result of a collaborative seminar titled Immaterial/Ultramaterial that took place in spring 2000 through spring 2001, at the Harvard Design School. The seminar involved students in the exploration of existing and emerging material technologies, engaging them in the process of research, fabrication, and installation. The work culminated with an exhibit in March 2001 titled "Immaterial/Ultramaterial." |
