Return to English Workshops Procedural Architectural Design: for the immersive, multi-player internet Instructors: Jennifer Durand / Keerti Maney / Sergio Mutis Dates: July 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 Themes: computational design / digital spatial environments Software: Autodesk Maya / Unreal Engine Number of Students: 25 This workshop is full. Please see the YouTube link during the workshop to follow recordings. Description: In an increasingly digitally native society, it is architects, not graphic designers or gaming engineers, who should lead the design exploration of our digital spatial environments (Schumacher, 2022). Within this context, the last decade has seen a renewed and increased interest in the immersive spatial web, featuring procedurally aggregated cyberspaces that enhance gaming performance and scalability (Louth et al,2022). However, the spatial implications of these procedures…

Return to English Workshops Regenerative Design and Optimization Instructors: Iman SheikhAnsari / Shaghayegh Honarvar Dates: 22 July - 24 July / 12:00 - 18:00 GMT (8:00 - 14:00 EST) Themes: Computational Design / Material Studies / Performative Design Software: Rhinoceros 3D, Grasshopper 3D, Ladybug Tools Number of Students: 60 Workshop is full please refer to live stream during and after the workshops Description: This workshop introduces the concept and principles of regenerative design and optimization in architecture and how they can create buildings that restore and replenish the resources they use and enhance the resilience and well-being of their occupants. Regenerative design is a practice that engages the natural world as the medium for and generator of architecture, creating structures that are integrated with their ecosystem. Optimization is a process that seeks…

Return to English Workshops Performative Biopolymer Design: Working Digitally with Plant-based Biogels Instructors: Garrett Sutherlin Santo / Paul Sutherlin Santo / Andrew DePew Dates: July 22, July 23, July 26, July 29 (10:00 – 13:00 PST) Themes: Bio Design / Fabrication / Material Studies Software: Rhino / Grasshopper Number of Students: 60 Workshop is full please refer to live stream during and after the workshops Description: The integration of biological processes in design, both as natural and synthetic technologies, are rapidly dissolving long-held distinctions between the sciences, arts, and engineering while facilitating the evolution of more complex relationships between our built and natural worlds. As more bio-based methods of make filter into the digital workflows that support creative industry, designers are afforded incredible opportunity to explore the complex performance and…
