Dublin, Ohio (PRWEB) May 06, 2015 -- During the 2015 American Institute of Architects (AIA) Convention, (May 14 – May 16) the Composite Pavilion will showcase new materials and technology including a unique display, “Plasticity Pavilion," by designer Justin Diles, assistant professor of architecture at The Ohio State University Knowlton School. Diles recently exhibited his "Plasticity Pavilion" at the nonprofit Tex-Fab Digital Fabrication Alliance’s annual event in Houston, where his creation was named the 2015 Tex-Fab winning design. His winning piece was also recently featured online by Architect Magazine.
Ashland Performance Materials, a commercial unit of Ashland Inc.
