A difference in making tijdens 3D-Print Conference Amsterdam door Marta Malé-Alemany

Tijdens de 3D-Print Conference Amsterdam die aanstaande maandag 8 juni plaats vindt in Amsterdam zal curator Marta Malé-Alemany een boeiende presentatie geven over haar nieuwste 3D-print exhibitie. Deze exhibitie genaamd MAKING A DIFFERENCE/ A DIFFERENCE IN MAKING heeft ze in samenwerking met Materialise georganiseerd.

De exhibitie verkent via verschillende manieren de toegevoegde waarde van 3D-printing aan het leven van individuen, onze maatschappij en aan onze omgeving. De tentoonstelling bevat verschillende kunstwerken, designs, mogelijkheden van engineering en werk in wetenschappelijke velden van artiesten, designers, publieke initiatieven en onderzoeksinstellingen, maar ook innovatieve makers.

Door de exhibitie ontdekken de bezoekers 3D-printing als productietechnologie die ons in staat stelt dingen op totaal andere manieren te maken, maar ook hoe het individuen ondersteunt en helpt, sociale veranderingen teweeg brengt en een positieve bijdrage kan leveren aan onze omgeving. In andere woorden: hoe 3d-printing het verschil maakt.

BIO

MARTA MALÉ-ALEMANY is an architect, researcher and curator specialized in digital design and fabrication technologies.

She has over 17 years of academic experience teaching architecture in the US and Europe, at universities and schools such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of Pennsylvania, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), AA School of Architecture London, International School of Architecture in Barcelona (ESARQ-UIC) and Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC). She has founded and directed several Master and Post-Graduate programs in architecture, and is currently appointed to be an External Program Reviewer for several schools across Europe.

Marta’s work, in both academic and professional domains, follows a research-oriented and integrated approach involving digital design and manufacturing. Under her direction, students from several international schools have developed novel material solutions and experimental building methods, involving the use of natural and experimental materials, the construction of DIY devices to hack existing CNC machines, and the use of industrial robotic equipment. Her own design practice and consultancy for other firms specializes in applying these technologies for the production of bespoke interior designs, large-scale installations and architectural applications. Following her interest in design and technology, she has curated several 3D Printing exhibitions, and created specific museum programs with temporary exhibitions, conferences, and educational workshops.

Marta obtained her architecture diploma from ETSAV-UPC (1996), holds a Master’s Degree in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University in NYC (1997) and is a PhD candidate at the ETSAB-UPC. Her doctoral thesis investigates the potential of large-scale 3D Printing technology to innovate industrial design and building construction.
