FABRICATE 2027 Barcelona (May 14-15)

FABRICATE is a world-leading non-profit triennial conference and publication series showcasing internationally peer-reviewed projects in architectural and engineering design, digital fabrication, materials innovation, advanced manufacturing and sustainable construction.

Founded in 2011, FABRICATE has been held in London, Zurich, Stuttgart, Online Global, and Copenhagen, featuring over 160 pioneering projects from more than 100 AEC organisations and 50 academic institutions, reaching 1,800+ in-person delegates from 45 countries.

FABRICATE 2027 Barcelona

"Since 2011 FABRICATE has grown into a vibrant platform for rethinking how we design and build, pushing boundaries of fabrication, experimental design, material innovation and technology in architecture and the built environment.

We are excited to share that FABRICATE 2027 will carry this legacy forward by inviting fundamental questions of strategy and intention. How do we make design and manufacturing tools open and accessible to all? Whose knowledge do we center? How can more communities benefit from innovation in design and fabrication? Is fabrication’s future only digital, or is it time to revalue the embodied, tacit knowledge of craft for a post-digital age?

Our vision for FABRICATE 2027 is to rethink extractive models of architectural production, to listen to and learn from local contexts and to empower broader communities of designers, makers and builders around the world. This means bringing together diverse minds, skills and cultures to showcase transformative design and making projects that generate radical impact across industries, geographies and lives.

As technological shifts accelerate, so does our responsibility to ensure that experimentation and tools support communities and the planet, not just progress for its own sake. Advancing fabrication, in our view, is not limited to perfecting digital workflows or developing evermore complex technical specialisms in high-tech labs; it can also be revolutionised through shared, hands-on processes shaped by diverse social, political, technological, and ecological realities—creating tangible, collective change and new economies of making.

Fabrication, in this sense, becomes an elevated form of collective innovation—one that can meaningfully improve the quality of all lives and the environments they co-inhabit.

We are pleased to announce that FABRICATE 2027 will take place in Barcelona on 14–15 May 2027, hosted at COAC (Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya), in the heart of the city.

Organized by IAAC – Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, in partnership with COAC Foundation, this next edition of the internationally renowned FABRICATE conference will continue to bring together leading voices in architecture, engineering, design, and fabrication. The conference will be co-chaired by Dr Areti Markopoulou (Academic Director at IAAC) and Xavier De Kestelier (Head of Design at Hassell).

We are delighted to be co-chairing FABRICATE 2027 and to help shape collectively where fabrication goes next."

Arkitekter og KI conference - Oslo, Norway (February 5, 2026)

Arkitekter og KI conference
Oslo, Norway (February 5, 2026)

Come and discover what architects can achieve when they unlock new superpowers with artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence is transforming architects' everyday work. How does it change the way we work, collaborate, and think about design? At this conference, architects will share their experiences, present concrete examples, and highlight practical strategies for enabling new AI-powered workflows in offices.

We will explore both the challenges and the opportunities, and you will gain inspiration, insights, and hands-on knowledge that you can apply directly to your own practice.

This is a conference you won’t want to miss—whether you are a manager, technology leader, or design architect. You’ll get an honest and practical look at how artificial intelligence is already becoming a valuable tool in the architect’s toolbox—and what it means for you today.

Luis Fraguada from McNeel is one of the speakers.

Auditorium Acoustics 2025 Conference

Bristol (UK)

September 8-10

In the world of concert halls, opera houses, theatres, and auditorium designs, Rhino/Grasshopper is one of the most commonly used and essential tools. In particular, Grasshopper is being used by acoustic designers to test and optimize the geometry of acoustic reflection surfaces and to review audience sightlines directly within the architect's 3D Rhino model.

The Auditorium Acoustics conference takes place every few years at a newly-opened, prestigious performance venue. Previous venues are the Philharmonie de Paris, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, and the Oslo Opera House. This year the conference will take place at the freshly renovated and reconstructed Bristol Beacon concert hall.

Featured are talks on auditorium design and acoustics, including parametric design and optimization. The conference will also include a tour of the new concert hall with live musicians on stage, a session on active acoustics with live demonstrations in the conference venue, and an immersive presentation on the reconstruction and acoustics of the Notre Dame Cathedral.
