AA Greece Visiting School
AA Greece Visiting School
Architecture Department, University of Patras
Patras, Greece
September 22 to October 1, 2014
AA Greece Visiting School is a mobile workshop series which will travel and reach every other city outside the country’s capital. It functions as a ‘satellite’ of education that promotes the Architectural Association’s exclusive, intensive form of teaching and learning around the country. AA Greece VS aims on visiting a different city each year and construct a single large-scale model which will act as an active nod of communication among the various locations.
In 2014, the School will initiate its design agenda with an architectural approach that is focused on the aspect of connection. The city of Patras, which is the starting node of AA Greece VS, was chosen by the European Commission to be the European Capital of Culture for the year 2006. The concept of the event revolved around the main theme of "Bridges" and "Dialogues", drawing benefit from the city's rich history and its position as a "Gate to the West", to underline the essence of the productive interaction of culture and civilizations in Europe. The AA Greece Visiting School investigates how well existing buildings with various sightlines and variant spatial grammars perform according to human perception. In sync with the flexible and adaptive concept of parasitical structures, the research focuses on the making of transformable large-scale creations that accentuate prominent architectural features of existing buildings. The research looks at how cultural factors, specific preferences, experiences, and expectations can lead to the transformation of architectural parasitical structures.

AAG 2014 London - Call for Workshops
London, UK
Sep 18-21, 2014
Advances in Architectural Geometry / AAG is a symposium where both theoretical and practical work linked to new geometrical developments is presented. This symposium aims to gather the diverse components of the contemporary architectural tendencies which push the building envelope towards free form and respond to the multiple current design challenges. It involves architects, engineers, mathematicians, software designers and contractors. We aim at connecting researchers from architectural and engineering practices, academia and industry. AAG has become a reference in the professional field and is supported by the direct participation of the most renowned architectural design and engineering offices along with academic laboratories.
Researchers and professionals are invited to electronically submit proposals for full length workshops or short tutorial sessions in the area of Architectural Geometry, to be held September 20-21, 2014 at the University College London. We especially encourage our paper submitters to also communicate their findings in hands-on learning oriented sessions, and hope to receive a number of workshop submissions which give the participants in-depth and hands-on experience of the forefront of research. Workshops which are pure software tutorials are discouraged. We are particularly interested in workshop topics having to do with but not limited to:
- building performance and resource use in relation to building geometry
- generative design
- integration of geometric and non geometric design properties
- fabrication constraints and their impact on building geometry
- qualitative and quantitative evaluation of building geometry
- recently published advanced geometry concepts and techniques in architecture, engineering and computer graphics introduced to an interdisciplinary audience.
All proposals will be reviewed and evaluated and authors will be notified when their proposal is accepted to discuss requirements and logistics.
d.Nat Parametric Design workshops in Dubai
d.Nat is launching a couple of exciting workshops in Dubai in collaboration with Co-de-iT:
Reparameterized
A Parametric Design workshop
May 15-17, 2014
The recent development of sophisticated computational design tools has instigated new ways of integrating computation in the design process; both within architecture and engineering disciplines. The new set of digital tools has infiltrated a bottom up system to open the design space towards a high level of complexity. The integration of these tools allowed the architect to generate and control complex information derived from a manifold of sources. Consequently, a more complex architectural order emerged as a reflection of sophisticated adaptive structures.
Reparameterized is a 2.5-day workshop that has been designed for participants with no previous experience in Grasshopper or parametric design techniques. The program will introduce them to both the theoretical and technical knowledge required to explore possibilities of the new design medium.
EXPOn-tial
An Adaptive Ecologies Workshop
June 2-7, 2014
Over recent decades the city of Dubai has experienced an unprecedented process of development and exponential growth, bursting from a small town into the metropolis we know today. This evolutionary capital-driven expansion, catapulted by a determined push to prosperity, ruled out the realization of a global and unified master plan. Dubai is now an icon of futurism and opulence. The modern setting of Dubai is, however, directly adjacent to the organic fabric of its old town, creating a striking contrast in behavior and locale. While the old town expanded in an organic manner from the inside out, the new Dubai expansion is spreading in an orderly fashion from the outside in. This stark disparity between the two zones has resulted in a diversity of urban spaces. The current growth is gradually integrating into the existing fabric of the city, filling scale gaps within the new region and its connection to the old one. Whether directed outward or inward, growth is a characterizing, unique element worth investigating in the urban design of Dubai.
EXPOn-tial is an Advanced Grasshopper workshop aims to explore the potential of growth processes and assess their application in the development of an urban fabric. Natural growth processes share common traits such as being non-linear, rule-based, and iterative. Drawing a parallel between natural systems behavior and computer growth processes such as branching systems, diffusion limited aggregation and other rule-based processes, we will develop non-linear growth processes and will evaluate the spatial results and forms across a wide range of scales - from Material to Urban scale. Behavior of growth processes will depend largely on material properties as it will influence clustering and distribution across a terrain. The system will develop by assessing their potential character on a basic level of organization first, then developing it to work on adaptation processes of autonomous, coherent objects on a variety of scales.
Check also the results of the Adaptative Skins workshop organized recently by D-Nat, where participants had no background in Rhino, Grasshopper or parametric thinking.

To fabricate this, StructureCraft sliced the building shape into 71 long, curved roofing panels. For more information on this see the A/N The Architect's Newspaper blog.
Another nice presentation is a Perkins + Will video. It's a delightful collection of information with topics such as design concept, software, energy management, sustainability, structural design for complex shapes. Then—this is the point we like—at 2:30 minutes, Harley Grusko, the Project Designer explains, "Rhino, as a design tool, was probably the most influential in the project. It's used to design forms that are free form or more organic and it does so in a precise way." And he goes on in more detail . . .
The video is nine minutes long and it's a beautiful portrait of the project. It's worth watching the whole thing.

AA Summer DLAB :: White - London, UK
Architectural
Association (AA) School of Architecture
London
/ Hooke Park, United Kingdom
July 21 – August 8, 2014
Summer DLAB experiments with the integration of
algorithmic / generative design methodologies and large scale digital
fabrication tools. Continuing its color based agenda, Summer DLAB immerses in ‘white’
for its 2014 cycle. 'White' is the starting point to investigating natural formation
processes and interpreting them as innovative architectonic spaces. ‘White’ becomes
the means of looking into extreme natural conditions which it is associated
with. Concepts of emergence, differentiation, and complexity shape the
theoretical framework of this investigation. We will observe natural structures of differing
scales, which are then abstracted and interpreted into elaborate design proposals. The computational process of Summer DLAB is based on
generative design algorithms, as seen in natural growth patterns such as
the Lindenmayer system and fractal theory. These concepts are carefully
interwoven with interaction and participatory design to create
full-scale working prototypes.
One of the major objectives of Summer DLAB is to
demonstrate the workflow between computational software and
digital assembly procedures leading to physical fabrication. In this respect, the
programme is a two-phase process. During the initial phase
participants benefit from the unique atmosphere and facilities of AA’s London
home. The second phase shifts to AA Hooke Park campus where we fabricate and assemble a full-scale architectural intervention. Here we unify the design goals of Summer DLAB.

More Rob|Arch workshops
Rob|Arch 2014 will offer 8 workshops dealing with different aspects of robotic fabrication, including multi-robot cooperation, sensor feedback, and advanced design to production workflows. All workshops take place in parallel from May 14-16. The results will be discussed at the conference - along with the scientific papers - on May 17-18.
Featured workshops:
Princeton University & Greyshed
Augmented Materiality
This workshop will demonstrate strategies for interactive and intuitive robot control during the design and fabrication processes. Rather than using the robot in isolation to fabricate digital design, the robot acts as one of many mediators between the digital and physical world throughout the design process. Employing 3D scanning technologies in conjunction with user tracking, human interface devices, various sensors and augmented reality strategies, we can demonstrate multidirectional communication between the human designer, physical materials, computer simulation and robotic scanning/manipulation. The setup and tools will be used, experimented upon, and (ideally) modified by workshop participants.
Carnegie Mellon University
All Bent Out: Adaptive Fabrication of Bent Wood Assemblies
All Bent Out… explores adaptive fabrication techniques for robotically constructing steam-bent wood assemblies. The workshop explores a constellation of hardware and software tools that leverage the material constraints of steam bending (e.g. spring back, irregular grain) as opportunities to develop adaptive fabrication workflows where predetermined machine tasks can be informed by sensor-based events. In particular, workflows using coordinated motion control of two industrial robots and environmental sensing help to negotiate discrepancies between the intended, digitally modeled geometries and the actual, physically bent wood assemblies.
