  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.

  We are on a spaceship; a beautiful one.  It took billions of years to develop.
  We're not going to get another.  Now, how do we make this spaceship work?
