‘Engaging Media’ EXHIBITION
4:00PM - 5:30PM
NCBDS31‘Engaging Media’ is hosted by the Mashburn Gallery in the College of Architecture Building at the
University of Houston. The exhibition includes a diverse range of work including design-research posters, videos,
and assemblies focused on the expansive and trans-disciplinary parameters of beginning design. The ‘Engaging
Media’ exhibition highlights physical, three-dimensional works and temporal performances alongside printed
media embodying beginning design. Videos reveal documentary-based accounts of beginning design curriculum
development, studio experiences, historical dialogues, and comparative trans-disciplinary compilations.
The ‘Engaging Media’ exhibition will be open for the duration of NCBDS31.
Please join us at the Mashburn Gallery on Friday afternoon for a lite reception.

Material Agency: The Disruptive Nature of Architectural Innovation
6:00PM - 7:00PM
Blaine Brownell
Experimentation is a critical part of the creative process in many fields, and achievement within the arts and sciences
is measured by the contribution of novel practices and insights. Throughout architectural history, experimentation in
buildings has repeatedly come under public attack as being frivolous and expensive, yet the exploration of new material
and formal applications is fundamental to the advancement of the discipline. This talk will consider the disruptive
nature of material innovation in architecture, how it is practiced effectively, and how we might measure its outcomes.
Blaine Brownell is an architect, author, educator, and former Fulbright scholar. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture with a
Certificate in East Asian studies at Princeton University in 1992, and a Master of Architecture from Rice University in 1998. He worked with
Yung-Ho Chang, Mark Wamble, and NBBJ before establishing the design/research practice Transstudio, which focuses on disruptive
material applications and emergent environmental building strategies. Brownell is considered one of the preeminent scholars of
advanced materials for architecture and design, having authored the Transmaterial series for Princeton Architectural Press (20062010), in addition to an online material catalog that has been likened to “a 21st Century version of The Grammar of Ornament.”

Brownell has been published in over forty design, business, and science journals, and has lectured widely in North America, Europe,
and Asia. He was selected for a “40 Under 40” award by Building Design & Construction magazine in 2006, and Transmaterial was
nominated for an International Book Award by the Royal Institute of British Architects in 2007. Brownell was a Visiting Research Fellow
at the Tokyo University of Science as a Fulbright recipient (2006-07), and the Visiting Professor of Sustainable Design at the University
of Michigan (2007-08). He is Associate Professor and Director of the Graduate Studies program at the University of Minnesota.

Install advances design scholarship in the technological and cognitive responsiveness of interior space through built
installations.
The conference invited proposals for temporary interventions which served as interactive follies within the
College of Architecture Building.
Co-sponsored by the Advanced Spatial Design (ASD) research group, the call solicited
innovative, low-cost, light-weight concepts that offered provocative and sensorial backdrops for social gatherings.
