SAC's lecture series for the summer semester 2011 focuses on architectural design research and practice as presented by a collection of younger professionals and academics. The series probes current questions in the field of architectural design - in particular issues related to material and digital technology. It seeks to shed light on the status in the field at the moment when advanced computational processes are no longer a novelty but has begun to impress and perhaps change the approach of current practitioners and researchers.

SAC gathers a small collection of younger practitioners and researchers to unravel this topic while the invited guests's work holds the promise of change for the next decades in architecture.
