Catalyst 2016

This year’s Architecture as Catalyst at the University of Minnesota investigates the topic of Representing Systems [as type and action], specifically leveraging the promises and pitfalls therein. With attention towards constructive logics latent within these systems, workshops and lectures will engage a range of strategies from the deranged, the subjective, the analogical, the material, the formal, and the speculative potentials of acceleration.  Inherently non-neutral, these systems affect the formation of realities and our subsequent perceptions thereof.

Blair will be in Minneapolis leading a session titled "Drawing is a Verb" with Luke Bulman of THUMB-Luke Bulman. 
The session will be a hosted by Marc and Blaine Brownell.
