The fifth edition of the internationally renowned FABRICATE conference will take place April 4 – 6, 2024 in Copenhagen at The Royal Danish Academy - Architecture, Design, Conservation.
Co-Chaired by Professor and Head of Centre for Information Technology and Architecture Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen and Professor and Chair of Biohybrid Architecture Phil Ayres, FABRICATE 2024 will build upon and extend its legacy as a prime place of exchange on the cutting-edge of new forms of design and construction and material thinking in architecture, engineering and building. FABRICATE 2024 asks how rethinking architectural methods, technology and construction can create a new societal position for the built environment, appointing a particular focus on questions of resource consciousness and bio-based design and fabrication strategies.

Uniquely, only built projects are accepted for FABRICATE 2024 recognising the multiple interconnected challenges facing academia, practice, manufacturing, construction and industry.
‘Our vision for FABRICATE 2024 is to address the pressing need to develop new models for architectural production that rethink how resource is deployed, its intensity, its socio-ecological origins and sensitivity to environment. FABRICATE 2024 will provide a unique forum for discussing and showcasing radical and creative departures in the design and making of architecture and to reflect upon how, and for whom, we design.
The last 12 years of FABRICATE provide a record of incredible critical creativity and community consolidation that reflects and celebrates the pushing of boundaries of fabrication within the built environment. We are delighted to be given the opportunity to frame a contribution to this record through co-chairing FABRICATE 2024 at the Royal Danish Academy.’Co-chairs Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen and Phil Ayres
