In December 2012 the conference was hosted by its founders in Vienna\, Austria. In 2014 the conference travels to North America\, hosted by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n\nContinuing with the previous theme of collaboration\, the conference seeks to bring together artists\, designers\, fabricators and industry leaders for the purpose of advancing the discourse surrounding robotic fabrication. Following on the success of ROB|ARCH 2012\, the conference will again present a series of workshops held at the University of Michigan\, Carnegie Mellon University\, and Princeton University\, aimed at exposing the advanced capabilities of applied robotic research. Following the workshops\, the conference will span two days at the University of Michigan Campus in Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, about an hour outside of Detroit\, the origin of robotics in North America. The internationally renowned publishing house Springer Wien/New York will publish and market the proceedings of the conference worldwide.\n\n\nIndustrial robots are the ultimate flexible manufacturing tools. Designers are taking this to heart\; contemporary research and production via robotic fabrication borrows from more mature manufacturing industries in order to accelerate the translation from “design to production”. Whereas task-specific machine tools support the efficiencies of mass-production\, robotic workcells can be reconfigured\, allowing a generic machine to perform a wide range of tasks. What robots may lack in extreme precision\, they rapidly recover in “intelligence””¦.cooperative\, closed-loop production cells now learn and adjust their technique in real-time. At the other end of the scale\, robots are emerging as in-situ construction tools\, achieving the dexterity to perform an active role in direct\, on site fabrication challenges.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2013). The series will culminate in Fall 2014 with a symposium\, as well as the publication of Three Michigan Architects: Osler\, Metcalf\, and Brigham–both of which will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s.\n UID:16957-1200025@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16957 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,umma LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140415T160440 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140518T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140518T140000 SUMMARY:Other:Engaging with Art DESCRIPTION:UMMA docents will guide visitors through the galleries on tours as diverse as their interests and areas of expertise.

Holding listeners spellbound with their slow-building\, fiery performances\, they distill traditional Irish tunes down to their pure essences and fill in the spaces with moves they've picked up from jazz\, blues\, rock\, country\, new age\, and even classical styles. The result\, says London's Time Out\, is \"a music filled with calm and silence\, the likes of which you've never heard before. Except\, perhaps\, in brief snatches of a long forgotten dream.\" The New York Times calls their music \"a Celtic complement to Steve Reich's quartets or Miles Davis's 'Sketches of Spain.'\" UID:16268-1198137@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16268 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:dennis hayes,martin cahill,music,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

In this lecture and slideshow\, Hodges traces the evolution of the train station and the styles architects employed to both tame and exalt rail transportation. Touching on news accounts\, literature and film\, Hodges also considers the central role depots once played as the nation's principal crossroads - a much-used\, much-loved public space that has no real analog in American life today.

Wildly literate\, utterly slackerly\, impossibly romantic\, absolutely a slave to the music\, the 35-year old Texan is completely committed to the truth and unafraid to skewer pomposity\, hypocrisy and small-minded thinking. In a world of shallow and shallower\, where it’s all groove and gloss\, that might seem a hopeless proposition. “Another Like You\,” Carll’s polar-opposites attraction duet\, was American Songwriter’s #1 Song of 2011–and KMAG YOYO was the Americana Music Association’s #1 Album\, as well as making Best of Lists for Rolling Stone\, SPIN\, and The New York Times. But more importantly than the critical acclaim is the way Hayes connects with music lovers across genre lines. Playing rock clubs and honkytonks\, Bonnaroo\, Stones Fest\, SXSW and NXNE\, he and his band the Gulf Coast Orchestra merge Ray Wylie Hubband’s lean freewheeling squalor with Todd Snider’s brazen Gen Y reality and a healthy dose of love among unhealthy people. “I guess you could say I write degenerate love songs\,” Carll says. “That\, and songs about people who’re wedged between not much and even less\; people who see how hopeless it is and somehow make it work anyway. “And the best kind of irony\, sometimes\, is applying no irony and letting reality do the work.” Maybe it’s the influences–Kerouac\, Dylan\, Guy Clark\, John Prine\, Hubbard ... Maybe it’s the fact that somebody has to say something ...Maybe it’s just the fact that some people are born to play. But for whatever reason\, ten years into a recording career\, Hayes Carll shows no signs of having arrived at his creative apex. \n UID:17047-1200290@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/17047 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:hayes carll,music,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

Neither does out-laws (that might imply divorce–assuming you’re in a state that even allows marriage\, much less divorce) ”¦ there isn’t really a term that seems appropriate. Suzanne’s new material is based on her ever-changing view of life after\, well\, everything. She’s a brand-new woman every time\, and she’ll take you for a ride on the wild side.

She uses vibrant graphics\, affirmative language\, and historical accounts to transform ugly discord into visual narratives that are beautiful and empowering.\n\nThe exhibition is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department. It is cosponsored by the Program for Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice\, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Penny W.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

She's recorded numerous chart-topping hits and fronted a great swing band. Every Suzy Bogguss concert offers something new. At The Ark\, we've heard her with a full band\, with a virtuoso guitar accompaniment from Verlon Thompson\, and with jazz and Americana groups. She also routinely performs with symphony orchestras\, and lately she's done some shows with just her own guitar. On top of all that\, she's a gifted interpreter of traditional country and cowgirl material who regularly showcases her skills on Garrison Keillor's live \"A Prairie Home Companion\" broadcast. Suzy's latest project adds yet another facet to her repertoire: her new album\, \"Lucky\,\" revisits the classic country songs of Merle Haggard. Ever since the agonizing version of \"Somewhere Between\" on her very first album\, Suzy has had a way with the songs of the mighty Merle. Chet Atkins said that Suzy's voice \"sparkles like crystal\,\" and we think you'll find her new music has special warmth and depth.
