Event Description
The Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering (CAEE) Department invites you to the 2016 Engineering Alumni Lecture.
Lancelot Coar, ’97
Associate Professor, Department of Architecture, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada
Provoking Matter
Lancelot Coar is an Associate Professor in the Department of Architecture and a researcher at the Centre for Architectural Structures and Technology (CAST) at the University of Manitoba. His research at CAST involves the development of experimental building systems that exploit the dynamic behaviors of materials to discover construction methods and structural forms that result from both material desire and design intent. Through this active material language, a common ground between physical and digital parametric study is established helping to link both past and emerging technological trajectories. To guide this talk, Lancelot will present some of the persistent and provocative questions that have driven his research, many of which originated from his years in Drexel’s CAEE program.
Lancelot has received numerous awards for his teaching and research, which has been published, presented, and exhibited internationally, including at Le Musée des arts et métier, Paris, and The Bauhaus Archives, Berlin. Most recently his work has been collected as a part of the permanent collection and exhibited at the National Building Museum in Washington DC. Lancelot has a B.S. in Civil Engineering (’97) and Architectural Engineering (’97) from Drexel University and a Masters in Architecture (’01) from the University of California, Berkeley.
This annual lecture is made possible by the generosity of Wesley O. Pipes and Jane Pipes. |
