The
illusion
of
Stasis
in
Structures -
Recent
Findings
from
Mark
West
and
Pressure
Building
Laboratories.
Our
first
lecturer
is
Mark
West,
who
is
currently
teaching
at
MIT
Architecture.
Many
of
you
will
know
of
his
research
with
fabric
formwork
and
concrete,
as
well
as
for
his
approach
to
architectural
research
as
an
educator
and
founding
director
of
C.A.S.T.,
the Centre
for
Architectural
Structures
and
Technology
at
the
University
of
Manitoba's
Faculty
of
Architecture.
He
works
across
architecture,
construction,
material
research,
engineering
and
sculpture.
His
research —
recognized
widely
through
publications,
awards
and
exhibitions —
is
fascinating
from
both
poetic
and
structural
perspectives.
