This free yearly event at UVM brings together campus and community for inspiring and fascinating talks on a variety of topics. This year’s keynote address is by Neri Oxman: Material Ecology: A New Approach to Nature-Inspired Design & Engineering

Thursday, October 2, 2014 at 5:00 – 6:00 pm at UVM’s Ira Allen Chapel (Colchester Avenue and University Row).
Free and Open to the Public!

Neri Oxman combines breakthroughs in materials science (such as 3D printing) with design principles found in nature. Imagine a skyscraper made with concrete that can breathe and grow and “think,” or a chair that moves with your body. Buoyed by boundless enthusiasm, Oxman’s talks are ostensibly about what is possible when you mix art and science; but really they’re about possibility itself.
