Last night saw IaaC host the first lecture in the digital series, by Neil Leach. I will have to say that I was very looking forward to this lecture, as many of his books are among what i consider to be seminal architectural texts. One of them even convinced me that returning to utas to complete my professional degree was a good thing, so I guess that he has a lot to answer for.
He showed a heap of material from an exhibition that he recently curated, including professional work and student work that looked better than a lot of professional work! The main focus of the lecture was to define the term ‘Digital Tectonics’ where it came from, how it has changed and where it is going.
It was possible the best lecture that I’ve seen and I can hardly wait to put my name down for his seminar in third semester.

I also just found a great interview on archinect.com with Neil Denari, who apart from building the occasional building and writing lots, used to be the director at sci-arc. Interesting stuff.
