biome Symposium 2012 :: Talks, Paper Presentations and more …18th Aug #Sydney Uni #architecture #design #biology #biome #geekgirl

18 August 2012 :: Faculty of Architecture, Design & Planning,  University of Sydney

biome is a cluster of researchers, practitioners and artists investigating natural paradigms as a language shared in biology, mathematics, music, behavioural studies, engineering, interaction design and architecture. Digital derivations of biological systems, biomimetics, are increasingly informing research in a diverse range of disciplines. The biome Symposium engages in conversations that explore a mathematical language (code, script, parameter, algorithm) as a natural paradigm, and transfers of this language into and out of the diverse fields of biology, mathematics, music, behavioural studies, engineering, interaction design and architecture.
