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.
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.
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
