Through a series of short presentations and “live” case studies, learn strategies to discover forms that are defined by simple rules and incremental creation.
This webinar will last 2.5 hours including multiple open Q & A sessions. With two instructors offering guided curriculum and continuous support it is our goal to provide you with an in-depth and personal learning experience. A video of the webinar as well as instructor files will be uploaded after the broadcast – all participants will have unlimited access to the webinar content and this video online. Registration can be found below. We look forward to your participation!
Topics:
What’s an algorithm and how do I define one?
Isn’t Grasshopper already a “Graphical Algorithm Editor”? How is an Algorithmic Design different from Parametric Design?
What is the difference between incremental versus all-at-once execution? What creative opportunities does each provide?
I have a few simple transformations within my sketch. How can I compound them to discover new forms?

with Istanbul Technical University, will continue to rediscover verticality through novel generative design techniques and large-scale physical prototypes. Abstracted as a fusion of various sub-systems, each subsystem of the tower will be investigated in relation to their various performance criteria. The correlations between the separate sets of performance criteria and evaluation methods will be analyzed, leading to the generation of unified design alternatives for a vertical system typology. In addition to the custom-made digital design and evaluation tools supporting the core methodology, Vertical Interventions will also highlight the fabrication and assembly of a large scale working prototype integrating the performative characteristics of each system in examination.

visiting school will continue its engagement with Mexico City from an infrastructural point of view taking advantage of the challenges and opportunities it poses/offers for the viability of one of the biggest metropolis on earth. The workshop will be constructed around key infrastructural issues such as the “Recovering of Waterscapes” and the “Reinforcement of Mobility Networks”. They will form the spine for the intervention through PROTOTYPICAL strategies within a tactical URBANISM framework.
The objective will be to explore and develop the concept of “urban prototype” capable of accommodating change and a degree of indeterminacy within the design process which will acquire its specificity by means of its on-site materialization. Paradigms of self-organized systems, distributed networks and uprising complexity will be introduced through systemic based design techniques, setting up counter models to conventional urban design and planning.
Based on this brief, students will have the opportunity to develop their skills through different methodologies based on the exploration of local conditions, engineering techniques, material processes, and the experimentation with digital, fabrication and representational tools.
The visiting school will run parallel units by AA tutors and graduates from across the school giving participants the opportunity to experiment the different lines of research currently being developed at the AA, in particular the visiting school will directly engage with the investigations within the research cluster “Urban Prototypes “.
In addition to this a symposium and series of lecture will to bring key figures, local and international, directly related to the design of the city (Minister of Urban development, architects and urban designers, authorities, artists among others). The event will finish with students presenting their work to local authorities and relevant actors and a public exhibition of the results.
Eligibility
The workshop is open to current architecture and design students, phd candidates and young professionals. All applicants should submit a CV and portfolio.
Applications
The deadline for applications is 11 June 2012. Application forms and additional information are available online at: www.prototypicalnetworks.net and applications can be submitted to: visitingschool@aaschool.ac.uk.
Schedule & Venue
The school runs in summer from 25/06/2012 to 06/07/2012 in Mexico City. This is an intensive, studio-based programme requiring full-time participation.
Accommodation & Costs
Accommodation during the workshop is not provided, but accommodation at an affordable hotel can be advised. The AA Visiting School requires a fee of £695 per participant which includes a £50 Visiting Student Membership, made payable to the AA School of Architecture.…

CONSTRUCTING FOR UNCERTAINTY
Design and construction, increasingly more information-centric, must also address issues of computational ambiguity. As users, we must drive computational systems to assume new roles and subsume more domains to meet the needs before us. We must consider issues of time and permanence within a cultural and technological landscape of constant change - our most grand gestures will define our environment physically, culturally and economically for generations.
Where historic responses to uncertainty constructed a simplistic environment with basic mechanisms for aggregation and subdivision, we augment these with smart, dynamic and interactive systems. Where modeling capacity has been limited, we now take advantage of vast amounts of data collected by sensing and scanning devices, processed by cluster or grid computing, filtered by machine learning algorithms into patterns, and communicated by ubiquitous devices. Our past data trajectories can guide us in discovering robust and tolerant design systems to meet the demands of a malleable present and uncertain future.
sg2013 Constructing for Uncertainty: transition computational design from the hard space of the ideal to the soft reality of an uncertain built environment.
