Description:
From Fitness to Finesse will focus on the recent projects and research of Ferda Kolatan’s award-winning firm, su11 architecture+design. Based in New York, su11 is committed to the deliberate and opportunistic use of technologies which “are crucial in generating work that evokes new desires, engages intellectual curiosity and widens imagination.”
Design has been transforming rapidly in recent years through advances in new media, fabrication technology and material intelligence resulting in a frantic production of digital output. Kolatan will discuss the connections between software, technique and material intelligence and its aesthetic effects on contemporary culture in the final event of the 2009/2010 Design Matters Lecture Series.
Kolatan completed his Master of Architecture at Columbia University where he received the Lucille Smyser Lowenfish Memorial Price and the Honor Award for Excellence in Design. su11 has been awarded the Swiss National Culture Award for Art and Design and the ICFF Editors Award for Best New Designer in 2001.
