Digital Practice : Hong Kong
For a successful architectural project, the efficiency of design communication and the control of information-flow are as important as the creativity of ideas. In response to the concurrent digital evolution emerging in the architectural industry world-wide, the Department of Architecture at The University of Hong Kong will host a two-week intensive summer program named Digital Practice.
Led by professors from The University of
Hong Kong, as well as invited practitioners with expertise in practice
of cutting edge digital techniques, the program offers participants
opportunities to experience applications of computational tools during
different stages of an architectural project, i.e. concept design, form
finding and optimization, delivery, management and communication of
design information under the team-based working environment. By
learning advanced computational techniques through case studies in the
context of Hong Kong, participants are expected to go beyond the
conventional perception of technology, considering users and tools as a
feedback-based entity instead of a dichotomy. The program, which is
taught in English, includes a series of evening lectures related
delivered by teaching staff and invited local architects.
Date: 2-12 August, 2012
Venue:3/F, Knowles Building, The University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam Road, Hong Kong
Registration deadline: 30 June, 2012
