SOLID STATES CONFERENCE
http://www.arch.columbia.edu/solidstates/
The Second Columbia Conference on Building Materials and Technology

Concrete is entering a new era of development with worldwide
implications under radically new circumstances. What are the futures
of concrete in architecture and engineering in terms of emerging
technologies of reinforcement, material science, emerging markets and
capitalization, geographic production, installation, and environmental
impact? Where will innovation happen and what will instigate
potentials in design and engineering? The goal of this conference is
to unleash new understandings of this globally pervasive, yet ever
evolving and surprising material.
