We are delighted to unveil the official program of the 16th Constructal Law Conference (CLC2026), to be held on 12–15 October 2026 in Paris, France, hosted by École nationale supérieure d’architecture Paris-Malaquais – PSL, across the historic spaces of the Beaux-Arts de Paris and Université Paris Sciences et Lettres.
Under the theme Design in Nature — The Evolution of Designs, the program brings together four days of lectures, scientific sessions, awards, posters, workshops, and research encounters, gathering scientists, engineers, architects, and scholars from across the natural and social sciences.
CLC2026 will explore how living and non-living flow systems acquire and evolve their configurations through time—from organisms, rivers, and energy systems to buildings, cities, technologies, information, and societies. At the heart of the program lies a fundamental question: how does the world acquire form through flow?
