Systematic approaches, which are often described as 乬algorithmic乭 or 乭generative乭, has become one of the major topics within the contemporary discourses of Architecture/Design/Art.

The methodologies to logically 乬figure乭 invisible systems ( i.e. structural or fluid dynamic systems, geometries, [meta] physics ) has critically altered not only processes of design but objects to design themselves, being backed up by spread of digital fabrication technology such as robotic, laser cut and 3D print.

And these technological advancements enabled architects/designers/artists to have all the production processes from 乬thinking乭 to 乬making乭 fused, bidirectional, looping and seamlessly explicit.

Furthermore, this recent movement has led to a rise of 乬synesthesia乭 between those productions beyond each project; a sprout of an aesthetic value for these processes and new 乬physicality乭 and 乬ordinariness乭 in the contemporary days.

In this exhibition, we call these inter-directional process between information, speculation, fabrication and material as 乬Materializing乭. And we would like to illustrate how architects/designers/artists discloses new 乬physical乭 value or 乬materiality乭 of their productions through 乬Materializing乭.

By inviting numerous contemporary researches and wroks related to this field of Architecture/Design/Art around the world, we aim to offer an open international platform to share divergent information and knowledge of this cultural movement in order to explore, expand and diversify new worth within it.
