CITA is an innovative research environment exploring the emergent intersections between architecture and digital technologies. Identifying core research questions into how space and technology c

an be probed, CITA seeks to investigate how the current forming of a digital culture impacts on architectural thinking and practice. CITA examines how architecture is influenced by new digital design- and production tools as well as the digital practices that are informing our societies culturally, socially and technologically. Using design and practice based research methods, we explore computation through the conceptualisation, design and realisation of full scale prototypes. Building on a broad network of partners from engineering, computer science, robotics, material science, design and textiles we understand technology as a critical and creative engagement. By examining technology transfers between high-innovative industries, that stand on front edge in the development of new digitalised designs- and production tools, it's our goal to create synergy between architecture contemporary reality and its future perspective.

We are excited to announce Prof Anna Dyson, Director of the Yale Centre for Ecosystems in Architecture, as FABRICATE2024 Keynote. Her pioneering research challenges the scales of architecture – moving from the nanoscale of films and surfaces, to materials, to buildings. Her work intersects education, research and practice with a strong focus on ecological and bio-based design paradigms. We look forward to her particular insights on the development and deployment of novel architectural systems and how these establish new interfaces between architecture and ecology.

PLANETARY BOUNDARIES EXHIBITION :
4•How can fungal materials impact architecture?

The Fungal Architecture project is an EU-funded interdisciplinary research project exploring the material domain of mycelium- based composites within a built environment context

Fungal Architecture seeks to move beyond the idea of replacing' fossil-based materials and investigates the potential tectonicsspatial organisationrelationship to a local area and aesthetics of fungal architecture, whilst respecting the planetary boundaries

By conducting experiments in the growing of mycelium-based composites, Fungal Architecture has developed scientific knowl- edge and craft know-how in producing materials with tuned mechanicalfunctional and aesthetic properties. In the instal- lationFungal Architecture demonstrate some of these qualities resulting from the use of different waste streams used as sub- strates, gathered locally.

CITA (represented by Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen, head of CITA) received a Global Award for Sustainable Architecture 2023 for its Radicant project (alongside four other architects, researchers, and artists).

Each year, the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture™ recognises five architects who share the principles of sustainable development and a participatory architectural approach to the needs of societies in both the Global North and the Global South. This price defines architecture as an agent of empowerment, self-development and civic rights. It works towards a sustainable architectural ethics and fosters research, experimentation and transmission in the fields of sustainable architecture, urban renewal and academic social responsibility. The Global Award is under the patronage of UNESCO.
