With the world turning its eyes to a new tomorrow and America reshaping and greening its infrastructure, The School of The Art Institute of Chicago, Department of Architecture, Interior Architecture and Designed Objects, is proud to host “reForm()” – a conference that explores how architects, engineers, artists and designers are using new hardware, software and middleware technologies to transform the ways in which buildings and spaces perform, act and operate.

Achim Menges will present a paper about his research in “Performative Wood: Integral Computational Design for Timber Constructions”.
