SUMMARY:AA Athens Visiting School 2016 - Symmetry Sentience
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nIn 2016 AA Athens Visiting School continues to exami
 ne the philosophy of phenomenology as a starting point in the architec
 tural design. Structures of consciousness experienced from the first-p
 erson point of view will be coupled with the study shapes in action. T
 he experience around an architectural object will act as the central p
 oint of ambience for the user’s space. Assessing the way by which na
 tural formations are created and exist as active players in shaping th
 eir environment will be achieved via digital simulation. Forms and str
 uctures will be created with an aim to alter the feeling of their surr
 ounding by being put into motion. A series of morphologies will be des
 igned, informed by biomimetic form-finding methods through a bottom-up
  approach via various coding techniques. A 1:1 scale structure will be
  put together, enabling experience of built space and of building mate
 rials in their sensory aspects as a result of a series of initial test
 ing models. These proposals will be applied through the combination of
  different software including among other Processing, Arduino and Rhin
 o Grasshopper.\nThe programme is organized in two stages:\nStage 1: P
 articipants gain an understanding of formation processes in nature, co
 upled with core concepts related to design complexity. During this sta
 ge, basic and advanced tutorials on generative design algorithms and a
 nalysis tools will be provided. Building on its core methodology from 
 its previous versions, AA Athens VS will perform as a team-based progr
 amme promoting collaboration and research. Participants will be introd
 uced to advanced fabrication techniques.\nStage 2: Participants propos
 e design interventions based on the skills and knowledge gained during
  the first stage. Study models of various scales will be produced, lea
 ding to the fabrication and assembly of a full scale working prototype
  which unifies the design goals of the programme.\nThe design agenda o
 f AA Athens is linked to the AA Istanbul Visiting School, thus directl
 y creating feedback on one another, allowing participation in either o
 ne or both Programmes.\n \nEligibility The workshop is open to archit
 ecture and design students and professionals worldwide.\nAccreditation
 \nParticipants receive the AA Visiting School Certificate with the com
 pletion of the Programme.\nApplications\nThe deadline for applications
  is 15 May 2016. No portfolio or CV, only requirement is the online ap
 plication form and fees. Online application link:\nhttps://www.aaschoo
