Rethinking
Patterns: Exploring Heterogenic Structures
21-30 August 2015
The first
AA_Aarhus Visiting School is taking place in what UNESCO has dubbed the
International Year of Light, raising global awareness of the importance of
light and light-based technologies. As a part of this global initiative, the
AA_Aarhus Visiting School will investigate the use of light in design and how
it can be controlled and modulated through physical patterns using
computational techniques.
The
AA_Aarhus Visiting School will recognize, through the use of associative
systems, how variation can be used to generate geometries that take internal and
external stimuli into account. Stimuli such as climactic, fabrication constraints, or
structural forces, will result in a new pattern language specific to the design scheme. The intention of these investigations is to
reinvent pattern/ornament in a move towards heterogeneity, informed by the
local ecology. We will teach participants how to use digital fabricating
tools such as laser cutting and CNC milling machines, as well as modeling
techniques that generate these forms for digital fabrication. Participants will
fabricate their final design in 3D, based on their desired scale of
fabrication.
The
workshop will take place over a 10-day period from Friday 21st of August until
Sunday 31st of August, 2015. Space is limited. To get more
