teraction for its Correlations cycle, AA Athens Visiting School scales up its design intentions in order to investigate links among discrete individual architectural systems in its 2013 version, Recharged.
Recharged with interconnectivity on different levels, the theme of investigation will revolve around the design of semi-independent design prototypes acting together to form elaborate unified results. The driving force in Cipher City: Recharged is the synergistic effect behind complex form-making systems where interactive design patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple rules.
In collaboration with the National Technical University of Athens, Cipher City: Recharged will explore participatory design and active engagement modeling and will continue building novel prototypes upon horizontal planes.
As in 2012, the design agendas of AA Athens and AA Istanbul Visiting Schools will directly create feedback on one another, allowing participation in either one or both Programmes.

s for architectural design, has been heralded as the new paradigm in architecture for the last decade. Digital design techniques coupled with rapid prototyping have permeated architectural education and practice at all levels. But, besides the endless rhetoric and baseless forms, what can these methods actually contribute to the field? What is the scope of their use?
This workshop seeks to answer these questions by investigating surfaces, surface mathematics and manipulations, and using this investigation to introduce students to the issues of design and fabrication of artifacts.
The workshop will thus introduce participants to the basic concepts for design utilizing scripting techniques, through the exploration of the Python language for Rhinoceros. Together with the study of syntax, data types and scripting techniques the focus will be put on the understanding of the digital tools in relation with the common practice and the ways to approach problems a designer might encounter while using them.

ase of resource and energy consumption identify significant developments of our time. Against this background and in the context of sustainable fairness to future generations, there will be a greater focus on energy and ressource efficient building structures.
This interdisciplinary course aims to lay the foundations of a „force based design“ through theoretical input lectures and presentations. Varying examples will show that the efficiency of structures depends largely on the flow of forces within the structure. Possible optimisation strategies will be discussed in the light of material saving and their impact on architectural form.
This course will introduce you to the use of digital analysis and optimization tools. You will learn to deal with three-dimensional parametric software (Rhinoceros 3D, Grasshopper, Sofistik, Karamba, GeometryGym, Kangaroo).
Finally, the knowledge acquired will be applied and developed in designing a pedestrian bridge or a slender tower.
Participants will be able to recognize the effects of forces as design parameters. They will recognize the potential of building geometry in the context of architecture and resource-efficient designs.

nteraction in the design of an enclosed volume.
Revolutions have occurred through architectural history and vary widely in terms of design methods and fabrication techniques. Focusing on inspiring natural form‐finding techniques, AA Athens VS works towards producing a large‐scale interactive prototype that alters in real‐time the perception of interior space.
Technology and architecture are coupled for the third year in Athens with a novel agenda of transforming an enclosed area and creating internal contrasting city‐life characteristics that transcend the local conditions. In collaboration with the National Technical University of Athens, Cipher City: Revolutions explores participatory design and active engagement modeling and continues building novel prototypes upon horizontal planes.
The toolset includes mainly ‐among others‐ Rhino Grasshopper, Processing and Arduino platforms. With the completion of the Programme participants receive the AA Visiting School Certificate. In 2013, the design agenda of AA Athens will connect with the agenda of AA Greece VS in the city of Patras. Participation in both Programmes will allow for a more extensive learning experience through additional tools like Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3D Studio Max and more.

Visiting School Rio de Janeiro will collaborate with the Centro Carioca de Design with the support of Columbia University Studio X to investigate new possibilities for the urban infrastructure surrounding World Cup Stadiums. Nation-wide, there has been significant investment to build and renovate stadiums for the 2014 World Cup in order to meet the required standard FIFA regulations (‘Padrão FIFA’). At the same time, there has been a large public demand for equal investment into transport systems, public space, and public programs such as hospitals and schools. The Visiting School will tap into the momentum of this movement, and promote a series of interventions within and around the World Cup structures, proposing new public programs and standards for their legacy. Students can choose to focus directly on the Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro, the venue for the Final match of the World Cup. The intense ten-day workshop will employ computational design and digital fabrication to introduce a design methodology that creatively automates and promotes transformation, mutation and complexity for these infrastructure interventions.
Prominent Features of the workshop
Teaching teamThe teaching team will include a mix of tutors from the Architectural Association, including Theodore Sarantoglou Lalis e Dora Sweijd (lassa-architects.com) of Diploma 17, and locally-based architects, urban-designers and experts, mediated by locally-based Visiting School directors, to promote cutting-edge innovative strategies informed by local political, economic and construction issues.

ne. Though I suppose providing a help file which lists some useful tricks for some operations would be a good place to start.
It would be possible to add persistent undo to Clusters, and it wouldn't even be that difficult. Adding undo data into the GH file is something I've been meaning to add since the first day of undo/redo, and the plumbing is in fact there, but it was never fully hooked up. I will definitely try this for GH2. And I'll also have a think about how to implement version history for clusters.
Phew, my brain hurts even just to think about this. I suppose step one would be to write a clever merge algorithm for two files that have some things in common and some not. But even that will be tricky as heck.
This is a major problem. First of all, running the solver in a thread and keeping the UI alive will only slow things down even more. On a file which takes 15 minutes to solve that's no big deal, but you certainly don't want to be adding a 20 millisecond delay to a solution which only takes 30 milliseconds.Multi-threading will be something I'm going to try and implement in GH2, but there's only so much I can do. If you run a solid boolean operation on a boatload of shapes, it's a single operation that is performed inside Rhino and there's nothing I can do to make it run on multiple threads. This is in general an issue, sometimes it takes a long time because there are many operations to perform; like offsetting 2500 curves. I can probably multi-thread that provided the Rhino curve offsetter is thread-safe. However stuff may also take a long time because there is a single operation (like the aforementioned huge solid boolean).Lastly, I have no way to predict how long a component is going to take. I can probably work out how far along in steps a component is, but not how far along in time.
What would you do with a solver which runs in the background? How does it differ from only running solutions when you want to? Let's say the solver is threaded and the canvas remains responsive. As soon as you make a change to the GH file, the solver needs to be terminated as it is now computing stale data. Wouldn't it be just as effective to disable the solver, make all the changes you want to make, then press F5?
Just because something runs in a thread doesn't mean you can shoot it in the head any time you want without consequences. Aborting threads typically means setting a boolean somewhere and then letting the thread commit suicide, while performing all the necessary cleanup. If you just destroy a thread there's no saying in what state you leave the memory.
I think a good place to start with these sort of problems is to keep on improving clusters, add more flexible structuring UI such as Layers or Filters or Pages or whatever to the canvas, add ways to share data between remote parts of a file without suffocating the display with wires, and to provide easy ways to temporarily disable parts of a file (think of it as Clipping planes for GH). That way you can make local changes and see local effects before solving the entire file again.
I'm certainly impressed by the sheer extent of the file you people made, it will be a lovely test case for UI improvements.
