Two papers submitted, accepted, adjusted and refined - we are now ready to roll! Upcoming IASS conference, this year at the ETH, sure looks promissing. For the first time, I will be there with 2 students presenting their excellent work (Gal Kapon and Ofri Dar). 

One day of carefully selected speakers amongst the prinpal local actors in building-envelopes design, engineering and fabrication. We will be taking part in this high-profile meeting point for all those who are involved in the making of our intense urban skyline, with my presentation of innovative composite building skins, on behalf of Xenom Composites

I am so proud of Ofri Dar, my talented master's student who presented her research on Frustrated Ceramics at the Faculty's Student Research Conference (at the Technion) and got the second prize! With a tight and well-crafted presentation, she definitly deserved it!

I will be sharing some insights of how composite materials and free-form geometry can be a means of innovation in office design and interiors, on behalf of Xenom Composites.

With three brilliant students and their great papers, we are getting ready to the eCAADe conference, this year really a short hop away in Cyprus. See you all there!

Last year, we have dramatically and suddently lost a great man, a brilliant engineer, an original researcher and for me, an inspirational supervisor. It is exciting to be invited to give a talk at this conference, a two-days hommage to this great person, both at the Paris Malaquais school of architecture, and at Ecole des Ponts. 

Happy to participate once again ath the annual architecture conference and presnet another angle of our activity at Xenom Composites: "Free-form Geometry - from gigantic moulds to unique intdoor spaces"

A last moment change, and I was lucky to have Tom Shaked as my partner for this lecture! As part of the Sustainaility&Architecture lecture series, by the Architecture department at Wizo Haifa Academy of Design.

FrustratedLab at the Techion is proudly announcing its launch of the first kiln! Finally, things are getting started in my newly esteablished lab at the Techion, and this is exciting … 

Frustrated Lab is settling in! We have the privilege of being hosted by the National Building Research Institute, at the Technion of course. Come by and have a coffee…. 

I am excited to announce the reception of a  research grant by the Israeli Ministry of Science and Technology. "Frustrated Ceramics: Sustainable mouldless fabrication of architectural ceramics by self-shaping" is the first research project i will be leading as a  Technion researcher! looking forward to others that will follow... 

i am delighted to be invited as a speaker by the Berlin cluster of excellence 'Matters of Activity' and participate in the conference "Architectured materials across scales". I will present my ongoing research on alternative architectural composites, as architectured materials

I am hounoured to be invited speaker at this conference, at a special session on architectured materials. The session is dedicated to the memory of dear Prof. Maurizio Brocato, a unique person that has left us too early. We were just about to start a new research collaboration at the moment of his unexpected leave. 

We have been working on that project for a long time now, and these special panels have been waiting for a while to be up there ! It is exciting to see this operation starting to go on live. 

An academic encounter a few years ago has been revived thanks to this Erasmus opportunity

Final presentation of Masters Industrial design - Student Hagar Ofek

Another group of talented students from the Department of Architecture at Wizo Haifa Academy of Design has gone through the journey from a component to a system, experiencing materials and fabrication processes, and some digital parametric design too . What a pleasure ! 

Proud to be giving a talk on behalf of Xenom composites at this one-day conference, on the magic of architectural composites .  There are some very promissing speakers there, such as Anat Stern represeting Zaha Hadid Architects, Daniel Diez from MVRDV, Mariano Efron from Paris-based Architecture Studio, and many more, I am sure this will be a fascinating day
