In September 2020, Mohawk Group will host the latest presentation in its Resourceful CEU series and debut an accredited session that showcases an emerging body of work in the realm of biophilic design. “Fractal Fluency in the Built Environment” will focus on the intersection of science, design and art, and the concepts behind a stress-reductive approach to commercial spaces. The hour-long course will be offered on Wednesday, Sept. 16, at 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. EST to accommodate guests tuning in across different time zones. Each CEU is free to attend virtually, but attendees must register to view and receive credit through AIA and IDCEC. Register via link below.

Design & Communication Faculty at FH JOANNEUM in Graz invited 13&9 Design and INNOCAD to contribute a video lecture for Klanglicht Symposium. Unifying architecture, interior, product and sound design, Anastasija and Martin Lesjak talked about “Space / Light / Sound - Creating Atmospheres” expounding the topic with two international projects.

Anastasija and Martin Lesjak will be part of the Master NAAD 'Neuroscience Applied to Architectural Design' in Venice for the module „anatomy and physiology of architectural perception.“ They will teach students the methods whereby further architectural features, such as geometries, rhythms, materials, textures, colours, acoustic and different furniture affect the human brain-body complex. The lecture series take part from January 13th - 17th, at Università Iuav di Venezia.

The third edition of this annual Summit by Vonlanthen Group, taking place in Vienna earlier this year, was focusing on the latest trends in office design, on new ways of working and the most up-to-date experiences in collaboration with real estate, facility management, HR, technology, architecture, executive management, design and consulting experts. INNOCAD´s new office SAP VIENNA was part of the event, where Oliver Kupfner gave project insights complemented by an exclusive tour through the tech-companies biophilic workspace.

Oliver Kupfner, partner and lead architect, will participate in the panel discussion “A picture of health-integrating wellness in design” alongside Francesca Galeazzi (Arup Germany), Peter Harris (SUSD), DaeWha Kang (DaeWha Kang Design), and Anadelia Robles (5+design) on October 24^th at 3.20 p.m. as part of LEAF International Forum in Berlin, Germany.

57'10 Lecture Series, a student driven collective, invites professionals from across the world to host lectures at the Scott Sutherland School of Architecture & Built Environment (Robert Gordon University) in Aberdeen, Scotland. As part of this semester’s line-up Martin Lesjak (INNOCAD) will hold a lecture on Thursday, October 17th at 5 p.m. alongside other guest speakers such as James Whitaker (Whitaker Studio), Victor Enrich and Peter Murray.

Martin Lesjak is a juror alongside Hilde Léon and Massimo Bricocoli at Graz Architecture Diploma Awards 2019 of the Faculty of Architecture at Graz University of Technology, selecting the best master thesis projects of the past academic year. The Award Ceremony GAD Awards 2019 will be held on October 3rd, 7pm at Aula, Rechbauerstraße 12/1 in Graz. He will also give a short presentation about INNOCAD’s holistic approach to architecture starting at 7.15pm.

During NYCxDESIGN, a panel event moderated by Metropolis Magazine’s Avinash Rajagopal will take place, in which experts of science, design, and manufacturing will share breakthroughs built on decades of research, offering holistic design thinking that seeks to bring nature’s calming effects to our built environments. Based on their transdisciplinary approach, Anastasija and Martin Lesjak with their 13&9 Design team worked closely with Dr. Richard Taylor, professor of physics, psychology and art at the University of Oregon and founder of Fractals Research, to create the next generation of flooring solutions for Mohawk Group. Join us on Sunday, May 19th from 3pm – 6pm at Mohawk Group NYC Showroom 125 W 25th St. / 6th Floor.
