of the new challenges presented to the society and architecture in Portugal. With technological developments, tools once limited to not creative areas begin to be part of the everyday life of students in University Architecture Laboratories and change its design processes. The architecture design methods are changing rapidly with the introduction of CAD-CAM software’s. In recent years, new software’s have been available for 3D representation and digital fabrication, which have allowed creating new ways of interacting with the computer and architecture. Contemporary architecture in its various scales, seeks greater flexibility, adaptability and interactivity taking into account both the means and goals of kinetic systems. Thus, it is essential to the creative industry players to acquire new knowledge about the latest technological innovations and how they can solve some of the problems and challenges of today’s society.
The workshop will explore the use of Grasshopper, Firefly and Arduino as creative and technical tools in all the design process, to simulation and prototype 3D interactive architecture solutions.
The theoretical and practical workshop (64 hours) taught in English and Portuguese, will be composed of two modules: (1) LS_01: Firefly +Grasshopper + Arduino and Scale Model Fabrication; (2) LS_02: Design Studio – Discursive Wall.
This workshop is intended for students and professionals from different areas of knowledge, (architecture, design, fine arts, engineering, music and programming) who are interested in the process of design: from ideation to prototyping. The participants will generate scale models.
Registration is limited to 20 participants with or without software knowledge. Participants will work individually and in group. Participants must take their own laptops to the workshop. Registrants should complete the form by 28 February 2012. Once registered, you will receive an email confirming your acceptance.

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.…
administration, education and consumption, the contemporary world can be increasingly conceived as a global and systemic environment. All our activities are profoundly influenced by a new condition of fluidity and interdependence of various and very often, unpredictable parameters and factors, introducing us progressively to a systemic and parametric understanding of the world and our position in it. Architecture and the building process are reflecting this new conception of the world by redefining themselves according to new principles and means. The fast development of digital techniques to simulate, represent and generate Architecture promises a continuous design process, including the seamless transfer of information between the involved parties and making performance a key issue in the planning process. In this process, concepts of adaptability, transformability and flexibility are replacing already tested and secure solutions, customization is replacing standardization and metrics, and digital tools are replacing analogue representations. In these new conditions the scaleless and the seamless appear as the two key pillars of the requested integration in contemporary architectural practice and education. Do the design and planning practices and construction industries respond with digital synergies to these new requests? Can the curricula of architecture schools escape from the dominance of traditional fragmentation within their structure and the organisation of the modules and academic units towards more holistic concepts and workflow? How can the traditionally separate courses offered by departments and modules of architectural education institutions be redefined in order to assure a scale-less and seamless thinking about form, materiality and its social and cultural representations, its environmental aspects and its urban and contextual references?
The organisers are inviting architects, teachers and researchers of architecture in Europe to present their views, research outcomes and teaching experiences related to the theme of the Conference.
An abstract of 600-700 words must be submitted by September 5, 2012. Please indicate into which of the five aforementioned themes your abstract falls. You will be asked to submit your final paper by the 22nd of October 2012 for the publication of the proceedings, which will be distributed to all EAAE/ENHSA school members.

pts. Beginning with a presentation on the main principles of scripting with Python, this webinar will incrementally unpack a diverse set of Programming techniques through a series of “live” exercises with Python and Grasshopper. With two instructors offering guided curriculum and continuous support it is our goal to provide you with an in-depth and personal learning experience. Additional topics covered will include: the basics of scripting with python, where to look for help and references, and when to script in Rhino3D vs Grasshopper.
This Webinar will last 2.5 hours including a 30 minute Q & A session. Registration can be found below. We look forward to your participation!
Topics:
What is Python and How do I create a Script?
Where can I find References and Help?
What are Variables, Iteration, and Recursion?
I can do a lot already with Parametrically. Why would I want to Script inside of Grasshopper?
I have a nice Script I wrote. How do I use it inside of Grasshopper?
