Optimization Warsaw
November 18-20, 2016
Warsaw (Poland)

Optimization Warsaw workshop, organized by Architektura Parametryczna, takes place in Warsaw from Friday, November 18 to Sunday, November 20.

The workshops will introduce the optimization into the algorithmic design process that is enabled in the visual programming environment - Grasshopper.

The aim of this 21-hour workshop is to give the participants the understanding of how the optimization process can be used in practice and can help in solving everyday design problems. The practical exercise will be supported by short lectures explaining the theoretical background of the optimization algorithms.

Agenda

Parametric Design in Architecture Master's Degree - October 17, 2016 - June 29, 2017, Barcelona (Spain)

Parametric Design in Architecture
Technological efficency through computational design
Classes: October 17, 2016  - June 29, 2017
Program ends: September 28, 2017
60 ECTS (378 teaching hours)
Barcelona Metropolitan School of Architecture
C. Pere Serra, 1-15
Barcelona - Sant Cugat del Vallès

The Master Parametric Design in Architecture is a unique opportunity to critically review computational design towards a more challenging and self-demanding commitment to environmental constraints.

It is organized into two four-month independent postgraduate courses, 16/18 weeks each, which can be taken together to obtain the Master's degree, or separately.

PG1: Digital Design and Fabrication

This course will give students the knowledge of parametric geometry, digital fabrication and contemporary architecture they need to develop the potential of parametric design. The course includes practical workshops on parametric software, geometry and numerical control machines, aimed at solving real problems in complex architectural design.

PG2: Performative Parametric Design

This course will explore real applications through parametric design. The behavior of the objects designed are checked thoroughly, with the same rigor and requirements demanded of digital fabrication as those expected from traditional architecture. This module aims to create interaction and synergies between parametric design and the application of algorithms to other disciplines such as BIM, urban design, planning, construction, structures, installations, services and climate to obtain more efficient and sustainable results.

Last few places available! Enroll before end of September!

"New pipelines, new workflows, new paper for new pens need to be invented, because gaming engines are coming to schools of architecture. Virtual reality will be, or better say, is already a new way of making architecture.

During this workshop we will develop a workflow from modeling software Rhinoceros3D and its parametric plug-in Grasshopper3D to gaming engine Unreal Engine 4.12.

We will develop algorithms for temporary structures, bake them to geometry and import these to virtual reality. Finally, we will bring 1:1 scaled environment revived with HTC Vive and Oculus. Users will interact with our projects.

Abandoned industrial zone is our environment, our imagined location. Our playground. 15 projects from 15 students, walkable in virtual reality is our goal at the workshop.

We will go from scripting, modeling and texturing to scripting with blueprints in gaming engine, so some advanced skills of modeling are needed, but not mandatory. Bring your ideas and motivation for hard work and you are in. We will help you develop your ideas.

But be careful what you wish, it could be life changing..."

Opening : November 9
Exhibition : November 9 - February 26, 2017

Francesco Cingolani, director of the program DESIGN by DATA of École des Ponts Paris Tech, is honored to invite you to one of the most prestigious events of the DESIGN by DATA OFF program: The Shadows ROOM / workshop by the androgynous New-Territories.

The workshop is organised by François Roche in partnership with Francesco Cingolani and will be hosted by Frac Orléans.

During the workshop the students will work closely with the avatar and his collaborators (including F. Roche) to create the installation called “The shadows ROOM”, to be exhibited at Frac Orléans by November 9.

“The shadows ROOM” is a structure in which morphology is defined by the process without being previously designed. Working with three tons of polyester fibers, the group will design a morphology process using robots and kinects with complex process of scanning position in order to make the structure emerge from the raw material.The experience will engage both artistic and structural skills and students will be encouraged to acquire an integrated approach of geometry and shapes, blurring the traditional boundary between design and construction.

Students will be fully credited for their work.

The workshop has only 6 places available (participants will be selected based on their skills and motivation). If you want to apply for the workshop, please send the following material to info@volumesparis.org:

• letter of motivation
• cv
• portfolio

Review of AA Summer DLAB 2015 outcomes

ElifErdine: Robotic cell setup; ShawLi: Robotically milled EPS formwork; MathiasReisigl: InFlux, overall view
diagram01: FEA analysis and resulting force-flow lines generated in Karamba; diagram02: Custom tool developed in Processing, mesh relaxation according to local data; diagram03: Algorithmic generation of form-work data for concrete casting

InFlux is the final working prototype of AA Summer DLAB 2015 that took place in AA’s London home and Hooke Park facilities from July 27th to August 14th, 2015.

InFlux is the outcome of an exploration on the fabrication and assembly of double-curved complex geometries through the integration of generative design techniques and robotic milling strategies. In 2014, the research initiated on the material behavior of concrete. It has been developed in the 2015 cycle by further investigations linking geometry, material, and structure. Realized as a wall with 2.2 meters height, 4 meters width, and a varying depth of 3 – 25 cm, InFlux was developed, fabricated, and assembled in 7 days.

AA Greece Visiting School 2016: Chania Progressions - October 4-14, Chania (Greece)

AA Greece Visiting School 2016
Chania Progressions
October 4-14, 2016
Chania (Greece)

The Architectural Association School of Architecture is visiting the city of Chania in the island of Crete in Greece.

In 2016, the AA Chania Visiting School will continue to pursue its design agenda concentrating on the bigger picture of the Chania city’s characteristics. The city of Chania is the second largest city of Crete. Chania can be divided in two parts: the old town and the larger modern. The Visiting School will revisit the way the built environment has been put together and will explore design possibilities to improve connectivity and functionality in the city. Interactive design coupled with generative form-finding techniques for fabrication and assembly of a 1-to-1 scale prototype will be investigated.

Each year a series of software tutorial sessions takes place to allow participants develop their basic skills of controlling models parametrically and of producing interactive presentations. These sessions also embody manufacturing techniques, enabling a hands‐on experience in architectural design. Also, lectures and special events advance the participants' understanding of new design anatomies and the development of a theoretical background on topics including machinic control, computational space, and complexity in systems, and innovative urban design approaches.

Prominent features of the workshop/ skills developed

• An active learning environment with a large tutor to student ratio, enabling personalized tutorials and debates.
• The toolset of AA Greece includes but is not limited to Maya, Rhinoceros, and Grasshopper.
• Design seminars and lecture series to support the key objectives of the program, disseminating fundamental design techniques and relevant critical thinking methodologies.

Eligibility
The workshop is open to architecture and design students and professionals worldwide.

Accreditation
Participants receive the AA Visiting School Certificate with the completion of the program.

Applications
The deadline for applications is September 20 2016. The only requirement is the online application form and fees. No portfolio or CV is required.

White Paper: Creating an Editable Rhino Surface from Laser Scan Input

Creating an editable NURBS surface from complex scan data can be a challenging proposition, especially when the original scanned surface is irregular and not smooth in the conventional sense. This White Paper by Simply Rhino shows one workflow that allows an editable surface to be produced while maintaining the irregular qualities of the target surface.
