Albert Ferré and Tomoko Sakamoto, from ACTAR, are giving a lecture at IaaC on Friday 19th of January at 19.00. ¨Actar produces books on architecture, design, photography and art. While most specialized publications in these fields tend to be descriptions external to to the action or the message of the artist, the architect, the photographer or the designer, Actar\'s activity is grounded on the belief that the printed product, the book-object, is a narrative and visual project in book form that contains within it the same information, in bits, as the actual work, and which becomes in effect an integral part of the author\'s work.?Actar was launched in 1994 by a group of graphic designers, architects and photographers. Since then it has published over 300 titles, often in collaboration with museums and cultural institutions.¨ Albert Ferré, architecture editor of Actar since 1997.

¨This lecture examines the newfound capacity to digitally design and manufacture highly crafted material and surface effects. It traces an emerging trajectory in contemporary architecture aimed at the decorative effects of digitally crafted surface patterns and textures. It surveys practices whose approach to form and pattern varies from “ornamented minimalism” of Herzog and de Meuron to “expressive exuberance” of Greg Lynn; it also describes the different digital techniques of material production aimed at particular surface effects, as in series of panels with repetitive, yet unique decorative relief or cutout patterns, striated surface configurations, etc..¨ B.Kolarevic
