Designing Material Innovation exhibits five full-scale architectural prototypes and pavilions that exemplify new approaches to material, fabrication, and design. Created through collaborations between architects and industry partners, these works combine technological innovation in materials research and fabrication with aesthetic and ethical approaches to form and appearance.
The exhibition will feature work by; APTUM Architecture - Roger Hubeli, Julie Larsen / CEMEX Research Group Andrew Kudless (MATSYS), David Shook, and Aaron Willette / CCA Digital Craft Lab CCA Digital Craft Lab - Adam Marcus, Margaret Ikeda, Evan Jones / Kreysler & Associates T+E+A+M - Thom Moran, Ellie Abrons, Adam Fure, Meredith Miller / University of Michigan Brandon Clifford (Matter Design / MIT Architecture) / Mark Jarzombek (MIT Architecture)
Artist Lawrence Argent visits the construction site of Sacramento International Airport's Terminal B and meets with the architects and engineers to discuss the installation of his "red rabbit" sculpture. This video is part of a work in progress for the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission.
A general demonstration of some of the ways that this form can be controlled using parametric design software to optimize the geometry for fabrication, construction, cost, etc. http://www.kreysler.com

The undergraduate and graduate Architecture Programs at California College of the Arts (CCA) prepare the next generation of architects to produce theoretically engaged, real-world work. The curriculum prepares you to become a leader in a culture that relies on a combined expansion of technological innovation, social accountability, and creative content.
Kreysler & Associates use Autodesk PowerMill to machine large art pieces at their custom fabrication shop. Specializing in the design, engineering and manufacture of composite products for architecture, sculpture and industrial applications. They chose PowerMill to drive their range of CNC hardware, including machines with working volumes up to 65' x 25' x 10' in size.
Josh Zabel from Kreysler & Associates presents 'Digital Fabrication with Composites' on November 9,2013 at AEC Hackathon 1.0 at Facebook HQ, Menlo Park.
Inspired by advanced fiberglass infusion techniques within the wind blade industry, the studio researched composite fabri- cation of "mega-panels" while integrating robotic technology to fabricate panels without a mould . The San Francisco MOMA Facade designed by Snohetta, fabricated by Kreysler Associates and the DIOR Flagship-store in Seoul, Korea, designed by Portzamparc are architectural precedents which showcase how composite fabrication is being used in construction today.
Time lapse of the fabrication of one of 9 large accoustic panels for the new Bing Concert Hall at Stanford University. Fabrication of the complex geometry of the wall and ceiling panels takes place at Kreysler & Associates in Napa, CA.
Herwig Baumgartner introduces Bill Kreysler of Kreysler & Associates as a pioneer of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) in architecture, collaborating on many of the outstanding projects of the last decades. Kreysler begins by contrasting the industries (ship building, sports equipment) that have been developing applications of composites and FRP since the 1990s, with the construction industry, which has been declining in productivity in that time.
Fiber reinforced composites are a widely used group of composites, with promising benefits for highly complex, large-scale architectural projects. - - - - - William Kreysler is founder and CEO of Kreysler & Associates (http://www.kreysler.com/), a custom molder of fiber reinforced polymer products located in Napa County, CA.
