About

The constructal law governs the phenomena of design and evolution in nature, technology, and social dynamics. The goal of this conference is to explore the unifying power of the constructal law and its applications in all the domains of design generation and evolution, from biology and geophysics to globalization, energy sustainability and security. The conference will also address the place of the constructal law in physics and thermodynamics.

This will be the seventh international conference dedicated to the Constructal Law. The first six were:

2006 Constructal Theory of Social Dynamics, Durham, NC, USA

2007 Constructal Theory of Social Dynamics, Durham, NC, USA

2008 Constructal Human Dynamics, Security and Sustainability, Evora, Portugal

2008 Shape and Thermodynamics, Florence, Italy

2009 Constructal Theory and Multi-Scale Geometries, Paris, France

2010 Constructal Theory Symposium, Design in Nature 2010, Pisa, Italy
