Description:
The Synergetics Collaborative has teamed with the Philomorphs
and The Edna Lawrence Nature Lab to present a two-day symposium on
"Synergetics and Morphology: Explorations into the Shapes of Nature"
at the RISD Auditorium on 2-4 Nov 2007. In addition to presenting
an engaging program around the intriguing concept of "the Form of
Nature", the event will include a reception on Friday 2 November
and a dance performance on Saturday 3 November. The event will also
feature an art exhibit on "Synergetics and Morphology" with the work
of participants on display at the nearby Waterman Gallery and in
the Nature Lab. The Arthur Loeb Design Science Teaching Collection,
which now resides with the Nature Lab, will be highlighted during the
event. The event will continue our efforts to build upon Buckminster
Fuller's Synergetics legacy. It will also offer a reunion for
Philomorphs. Finally, it will provide an opportunity to discuss
and share diverse viewpoints among the Synergetics community, the
Philomorphs, the RISD student and faculty communities, and other
explorers of Form aboard SpaceShip Earth.

The symposium will appeal to a broad range of individuals who
share a common interest in Morphology (the Art and Science of Form:
Goethe is reported to be the first to study and define morphology),
including artists, designers, naturalists, geometers, mathematicians,
scientists, educators and students.
