Alan has lectured, exhibited and been pu blished worldwide.  His work has received a number of awards, includi ng a LEAF award for Spencer Dock Bridge, and a D&AD pencil for the [C] space DRL 10 Pavilion.\nRobert Stuart Smith of Kokkugiais a Studio Cou rse Master at the AA DRL.  Robert previously worked for Lab Architec ture Studio and Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners.  He focuses on self-org anisational systems and developmental growth, pursuing polyvalent and environmentally responsive affect.  He leads  consultation to Cecil Balmond on non-linear algorithmic design research. Kokkugia has projec ts in the USA, UK and Mexico, and is exhibited and published internati onally.\nIván Ivanoff is an artist, programmer, and researcher. He s earches for new forms of communication for the society of the future a nd is the director of different Media Labs worldwide. He founded the a rtistic collaborative i2off.org+r3nder.net, which develops multi-media and interactive projects, and Estado Lateral Media Lab to investigate and develop new technologies.\nThe Barra Funda district of São Paulo was once characterised by a mix of small industrial, commercial and r esidential programmes, but, as economic policies have favoured larger production industries, numerous companies have abandoned the area. In response, the workshop proposes the creation of new types of smaller i ndustries to produce a mix of both consumption and production, manifes ted through micro-manufacturing interventions that can co-exist alongs ide retail and housing.  Computational design and digital fabrication could be used to help create these new micro-industries, which in tur n will help empower local craftsman to produce and sell directly to co nsumers through micro-manufacturing, located in small urban workshops. \nThe workshop will tap into emergent gallery scene of Barra Funda and local initiatives that use computational technology to introduce a ne w cultural and economic impetus. The workshop is a part of the Interna tional Festival of Electronic Language (FILE), an exhibition of intera ctive electronic technology, and will import these electronic technolo gies out of the galler, collaborating with local manufacturers, artist s, and activists, with a goal of disseminating a high-tech yet low-co st and small-scale fabrication systems to promote this new micro-indus trial movement. The workshop is open to architecture and design studen ts and professionals worldwide.\n\nFor more information visit https:// www.grasshopper3d.com/events/shopfront-fab-s-o-paulo-architectural-ass ociation-visiting-school DTSTART;TZID=America/Boise:20120710T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Boise:20120719T235900 CATEGORIES:design, workshop LOCATION:International Festival of Electronic Language WEBSITE:http://saopaulo.aaschool.ac.uk URL:http://saopaulo.aaschool.ac.uk CONTACT:55 11 9669 6967 ORGANIZER:Architectural Association Visiting School São Paulo ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/ file/get/2828038600?profile=original ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Diego Xa vier":https://www.grasshopper3d.com/profile/DiegoXavier ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="aNNE sAV E De bEAURECUEIL":https://www.grasshopper3d.com/profile/aNNEsAVEDebEAU RECUEIL ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Victor S ardenberg":https://www.grasshopper3d.com/profile/VictorSardenberg ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=TENTATIVE;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Eduardo Borba":https://www.grasshopper3d.com/profile/EduardoBorba END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
