Icaade2019

The 3rd International Conference on Amphibious Architecture, Design and Engineering was hosted by the Warsaw University of Technology on Faculty of Architecture from October 13th to 16th.
More information about this event soon!

We are happy to announce that one of our plenary speakers will be Margaret Ikeda!
She is an Associate Professor of Architecture at California College of the Arts (CCA) in San Francisco, California. She is Integrated Studio Coordinator and has developed the Buoyant Ecologies Studio curriculum which has received numerous national student awards. She is co-founder and co-director of the CCA Architectural Ecologies Lab that serves as a platform for collaborative research between designers, scientists, and manufacturers. The lab merges spatial practice with innovative techniques of material production and ecological research. Over the past five years the lab has produced multiple deployments of digitally fabricated substrates to explore ecological marine habitats.
The most recent project called the Float Lab, is currently moored in the Port of Oakland and designed to test a new type of resilient floating breakwater. The Float Lab works with biological fouling to attenuate waves and create ecological habitats. The project received a 2018 Architect Magazine R+D award and was recently awarded a national 2019 American Institute of Architects (AIA) Innovation Award.

We are pleased to announce that one of our plenary speakers will be Amelie Rost!

Florentine-Amelie Rost is an architect, educator and researcher.
The central aspect of her practice and academic work evolves around “city and water” on various architectural and urban scales.
Together with her office partner Jörg Niderehe, she founded the architectural office Rost.Niderehe Architects I Engineers in Hamburg (Germany) in 2008, after winning the design competition “Houseboats on the Eilbekkanal.” Upon completion, their first house boat received the “AIT- Living Application Award 2013” and was shortlisted by the German wood construction award “Deutscher Holzbaupreis 2011.”
During the last ten years Rost.Niderehe have built multiple floating residences and offices in Hamburg and have been involved in the development of a floating settlement on the Jinhai-Lake, near Beijing, China. From 2011 to 2014 Florentine-Amelie Rost taught urban design and interdisciplinary design projects at the HafenCity University in Hamburg, where she was also a research associate in the Department of Urban Design and Architecture from 2014 to 2017. As part of her doctoral thesis, she currently examines how new demands affect the meaning and further development of inner-ctiy water surfaces.
