Maximum number of participating students: 100
The properties and performance of materials are based on their unique microstructures, which can be organized by their characteristics. Metamaterials are new types of materials that cannot be found in nature and their formal and performative responses can be improved. This workshop aims to investigate microstructures found in natural systems, interpret these structures and design new materials that might go beyond natural materials. MetaStructures and their implementations among different scales including material, product, and architectural design will be investigated within the framework of material-based computational design. The workshop consists of three modules including (1) investigation of terms and concepts, (2) interpretation of microstructures, and (3) design of metastructures. Geometric and algorithmic modeling methods will be explored in the workshop. Required digital tools for the workshop are Rhinoceros 6 or 7, Grasshopper (GH), GH Culebra, and GH Crystallon.
