SUMMARY:AA Istanbul Visiting School 2016 - Tectonic Symbiosis
DESCRIPTION:\nAA Istanbul Visiting School, in collaboration with Istan
 bul Bilgi University, is a unique learning and making experience. Cont
 inuing its expertise on generative design methodologies and large-scal
 e prototyping techniques, the programme will investigate patterns of e
 mergence, differentiation and complexity in natural formation processe
 s which will be transformed to digital simulation platforms for design
  purposes. In contemporary architectural processes, a significant dive
 rsion from linear parametric tools towards generative design simulatio
 ns is taking place. The design and analysis processes will reflect thi
 s shift by focusing on simulations, whereby attention will be kept on 
 the process of design generation as opposed to the final form itself. 
 The design agenda of the programme will revolve around the design and 
 fabrication of a one-to-one scale pavilion.\nThe programme will be for
 mulated as a two-phase process:\nStage 1: Participants will gain an un
 derstanding of formation processes in nature, coupled with core concep
 ts related to complexity. During this stage, basic and advanced tutori
 als on generative design algorithms and analysis tools will be provide
 d. AA Istanbul VS will perform as a team-based workshop promoting coll
 aboration and research. Participants will be introduced to advanced fa
 brication techniques.\nStage 2: Participants will propose design inter
 ventions based on the skills and knowledge gained during the first sta
 ge. Study models of various scales will be produced, finally followed 
 by the fabrication and assembly of a full scale working prototype whic
 h unifies the design goals of the programme.\nThe design agendas of AA
  Athens and AA Istanbul Visiting Schools will directly create feedback
  on one another, allowing participation in either one or both Programm
 es.\nProminent features of the programme / skills developed:\n\nPartic
 ipants will be part of an active learning environment where the large 
 tutor to student ratio (4:1) allows for personalized tutorials and deb
 ates.\nThe toolset of AA Istanbul includes but is not limited to Rhino
 ceros, Grasshopper, and Processing.\nParticipants will have access to 
 large-scale digital fabrication tools.\nDesign seminars and internatio
 nal lecture series will support the key objectives of the programme.\n
 \nEligibility\nThe workshop is open to current architecture and design
  students, PhD candidates and young professionals.\nAccreditation\nPar
 ticipants receive the AA Visiting School Certificate with the completi
 on of the Programme. \nApplications\nThe AA Visiting School requires 
 a fee of £600 per participant, which includes a £60 Visiting Members
 hip fee. Discount options for groups or for those wishing to apply for
  both AA Istanbul and AA Athens Visiting Schools are available. Please
  contact the AA Visiting School Coordinator for more details. \nThe d
 eadline for applications is 30 May 2016. No portfolio or CV, only requ
 irement is the online application form and fees. \nFor more informati
