AIAAF 2021 (AI Aided Architectural Fabrication 2021 Symposium) - May 21, 2021

AIAAF 2021 

AI Aided Architectural Fabrication 2021 Symposium

May 21, 2021

The idea for AIAAF is to meet with other researchers, manufacturers, architects, engineers to showcase the works, discuss the existing research problems and potentially form some partnerships. While the event is open to the public, the talks are technical and academia-oriented. The name may suggest a very narrow niche for the speakers, but AIAAF is a premise of the future—a wide spectrum of topics will be covered.

AIAAF is a platform established to:

• Showcase the projects which are using fabrication aided by AI
• Discuss outstanding robotic fabrication projects
• Get familiar with the cutting edge simulation, modeling and AI methods
• Find out new areas of collaboration between the AI and Fab disciplines

Lineup

• Gabriella Rossi (CITA)
• Nathan Miller (Proving Ground)
• Victor Sardenberg (Leibniz Universität Hannover)
• Lidia Atanasova (Technical University of Munich)
• Anatolii Kotov (Brandenburg University of Technology)
• Cedric Droogmans, Luis Jayme Buerba, Elena Jaramazovic and Lorenzo Masini (IAAC Alumni)
• Chien-hua Huang (China Academy of Art)

Cost: Free

Organizer: Brandenburg University of Technology

Language: English

AA Visiting School Khartoum

 

AA Visiting School Khartoum

A Blue Dilemma (December-2021)

The AA Visiting School Khartoum takes place at the confluence of the Blue Nile and White Nile (the elephant trunk), a meeting node between Africa and Arabia. Khartoum will be the first stop where the Architectural Association School of Architecture will exhibit the School’s output. 

A Blue Dilemma (December-2021) looks at the often-neglected relationship between the unpredictability of altered water passages and the erasure of heritage.

The school’s agenda explores the intersection of climate change and heritage while reflecting on new modes of representation. The continuous reshaping of the flow of rivers is both a cause and effect of human patterns of behavior that have reshaped settlements at its shoreline throughout history. Today the course of the Nile is being altered once more through new urban developments and climate change posing a threat to sites adjacent to its riverbed. The school studies the challenges posed by climate change through the chosen site at Meroe and the ongoing alterations of water passages. Participants will engage with invited anthropologists, architects, artists, bioarchaeologists, community initiatives, and historians through lectures, seminars, studios, and workshops.

The school is structured around three modules:

• First module: Explores various aspects of mapping climate change.
• Second module: Delves into the intersection of climate change and heritage at the site to draw lessons from historical cycles of environmental challenges.
• Third module: Is oriented toward the production of models and drawings that explore the materiality of the site.

Rhino and Grasshopper will be used during the last module.
