The grid that con figures the city’s urban tissue remains oblivious to its context, im posing a constant order. Its relationship with the river is one of mut ual exclusion; as soon as the grid reaches the river it stops, but nev er modifies its nature. There is one happy exception to this condition – the northern riverside area of Buenos Aires called ‘Tigre’, w hich responds to the topography of the natural delta.  In this works hop, projects will embrace the boundary between river and city as a me ans of managing alternative metropolitan ecosystems. By challenging th e traditional relationship between architectural, urban and natural fo rces, students will propose new territorial organisations that develop both floating and rooted structures that are responsive to the nature of the delta. In this research workshop students have the opportunity to develop a range of computational techniques in order to explore al ternative design opportunities.  Week 1  Organised in teams, studen ts will work with the articulation of the grid and the river. The goal is to produce several iterations analysing the potential transformati on of the grid as it reaches the riverbank. This analysis will form th e basis of an urban design proposal that establishes a new relationshi p between the city and the river. Design tutors, including Victor Oriv e, Arturo Revilla and professionals from the A A and other institution s, will provide digital tutorials and lectures on their own urban desi gn research and projects.  Week 2  During this phase we will addres s how such conditions affect discrete objects and/or a field of object s. The goal is to design a pavilion and study how a gradual change in field conditions will affect its size, porosity and orientation. This will unfold new opportunities to redefine the relationship between for m and function.\nApplications\nThe deadline for applications is 2 July 2012. All participants travelling from abroad are responsible for sec uring any visa required. After payment of fees, the AA can provide a l etter confirming participation in the workshop.
