16th Constructal Law Conference (CLC2026)
by Paris-Malaquais School of Architecture-PSL (Paris Sciences et Lettres) University
The 16th Constructal Law Conference (CLC2026) is an international event dedicated to exploring the evolution of designs in nature and their applications across various disciplines. Organized by the Paris-Malaquais School of Architecture, part of PSL University, this conference will be held from October 12 to 15, 2026, in Paris, France. The event marks the 30th anniversary of the Constructal Law, which explains how flow systems evolve to facilitate easier access to the currents that move through them.
The conference will cover a wide range of topics, including the physics of life, universal forms in nature, evolutionary design, thermodynamics, energy, power, economy, and the intersection of natural and social sciences. Specific tracks will delve into areas such as flow architectures in living systems, design in nature, evolutionary design with freedom, and the role of architecture as flow design. These sessions aim to foster interdisciplinary discussions connecting physics, biology, ecology, geophysics, materials science, computer science, network science, art, architecture, urban planning, economics, and cultural studies.
Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in oral presentations and poster sessions, with selected papers being recommended for publication in esteemed journals like Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer, and BioSystems. The conference venue, Paris-Malaquais School of Architecture, offers a historic setting that encourages experimentation and research, providing a unique environment for architects, engineers, scientists, and artists to collaborate and share insights.
This conference is ideal for professionals and researchers interested in the evolution of designs in nature and their applications across various fields. Participants will benefit from interdisciplinary discussions, networking opportunities, and exposure to cutting-edge research that bridges the gap between natural phenomena and human-made systems.
