Is "Fabricate 2017" part of a series?

Yes, "Fabricate 2017" is part of the "FABRICATE" series.

A triennial series of conference publications that began with ‘Making Digital Architecture’ in 2011 at The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. Each FABRICATE conference and book evolves from an open call for ‘works in progress’, with a submission deadline ten months prior to the conference. The call is designed to attract submissions from industry and practice as well as academia, and asks for an abstract on the trajectory of the work, including where it will be by the time the conference takes place. Selected projects are then invited to resubmit full papers for a second round. The conference theme emerges during this phase, while papers are also categorised into notional sub-themes.

Is "Fabricate 2017" available Open Access?
