CDRN Parametric Modeling and Digital Wood Fabrication Workshop and 
Symposium
 
DATES:                  February 15-24, 2007
 
LOCATION:           Forest Sciences Centre at the University of British 
Columbia in Vancouver, Canada
 
New tools, techniques, products and practices are revolutionizing the 
use of wood in architecture, design and construction. To help design 
professionals take advantage of the opportunities presented by these 
innovations, the Canadian Design Research Network (CDRN), in 
collaboration with the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture 
and the Centre for Advanced Wood Processing at the University of British 
Columbia and the School of Interactive Arts and Technology at Simon 
Fraser University, is presenting a series of events that will explore 
the potential of digital media and CNC fabrication technologies.
 
The focus of these events is on the integration of parametric modeling 
and digital fabrication techniques into design, manufacturing, and 
construction processes. Parametric modeling is an emerging technology 
that allows designers to interactively investigate multiple design 
alternatives. In combination with rapid prototyping equipment, it 
provides a new and innovative approach to design.
 
The CDRN Parametric Modeling and Digital Wood Fabrication Workshop and 
Symposium will be held at the Forest Sciences Centre at the University 
of British Columbia on February 15 to 24, 2007. Parallel to a 10-day 
workshop, symposium events with panel discussions, lectures, exhibits, 
industry workshops and presentations will take place on February 21 to 
24, 2007.
 
The CDRN Parametric Modeling and Digital Wood Fabrication Workshop and 
Symposium is listed as a Registered Provider of the AIBC Continuing 
Education System. AIBC members will receive Continuing Education credits 
for the participation in individual workshops, lectures and panel 
discussions.
 
All lectures, panel discussions and exhibitions at the CDRN Parametric 
Modeling and Digital Wood Fabrication Workshop and Symposium will be 
open to the public and fee of charge.
