Book now, deadline is 6/11. Anyone wanna sponsor me?
Boulder locals Monika Wittig and Luis E. Fraguada with James Coleman and Shane Salisbury recently won the DIA/DOCA Emerging Artist Program competition with their entry [Wind]ow Seat. As a result of the commission, the group is setting up a traveling seminar called LaN-IN-FLIGHT which will depart from Denver to LA, then to NYC, Boston then back to Denver from July 9th-18th. The seminar will focus on digital fabrication and the output will be published and presented in August at the LaN's [Wind]ow Seat exhibition. 10 days of traveling to cutting edge design firms and industry leaders including Ball-Nogues Studio, Contour Crafting, SCI-ARC, Commonwealth, REX, and others, looks like a lot of Rhino sessions in airport lounges.
This is a great concept and I'm sure will help inform the final exhibition, but why no seminars or visits in Denver itself?
From their site - "A Live Architecture Network is under the direction of 4 designers who landed in Barcelona to pursue postgraduate studies in Digital Tectonics at IAAC (Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia) and following have taken-off on the path of DIGITAL FABRICATION as a means to forwarding composite processes /collaborations driving architectural development. LaN recognizes the power of digital fabrication, not merely as a toolset of of a high technical caliber, but as the driver of particular groupings of resources–an organization of human, economic, and material assets–varying widely based on project circumstances. LaN’s mode of operation is parametric in nature, and seeks to with re-associate architecture with a flexible, non-authoritative, temporal, & data-rich practice of spatial design."

Hi,
Thanks for the nice write up! If you don't feel you can make the entire trip, join us in just one location for a discounted rate! Also, we are offering discounted rates if you bring friend(s).
The whole idea of the seminar is to get everyone out of their hometown...and for this, we were not planning on holding any seminars in Denver. However, if you can gather a few people we would not be opposed to your denver seminar suggestion. Let us know!

Very cool. I think architecture items like this should go on a tour. It helps raise awareness and brings new ideas to people's backyard - sort-to-speak.
