About the event
"Knowhere, No Boundaries: Redefining Architectural Sensory Frontiers" is a groundbreaking conference set to take place on October 26th, 2024, in Tonopah, Nevada. This unique gathering aims to blur the boundaries between art, physics, music, landforms, and architecture, focusing on exploring sensory experiences in spatial design. This grassroots conference will bring together a diverse panel of experts, including architects, a musician, a physicist, a filmmaker, and an interactive sculptor, to foster innovative dialogues and cross-disciplinary collaborations.
Set against the backdrop of Tonopah's awe-inspiring desert landscape, the conference will explore the intersections of architecture and sensory perception in design. Attendees can expect a day of cutting-edge discussions that challenge conventional notions of space and push the boundaries of experience in architectural environments.
