What is Design Road ? Design Road is a road that takes a group of European Design� ers and artists from different disciplines to several countries in an attempt to bring together the creators of the European design and other designers and artists from different coun� tries. It is intended that the road passes through countries where local designers seeking opportunities for improvement and updating of their skills in order to give new support that will help them in playing a wide variety of design issues in their countries and always with the reference of the European design. Design Road consists of three main activities: 1 The design workshops aimed at local artists and designers. 2 The collective exhibition of European designers participat� ing in the road. 3 The conference of designers to the general public in the visited country. Workshops will be in: Inteiror Design ,Graphic Design, Cultural Design, Advertising Design, Windos Design, Flower Design.


Advanced geometrics in pattern formations.

Similarity and Difference, some possibilities for architectonic prototypes.

The primary aim of the workshop is to take into account and thoroughly analyze the geometrical patterns which can be found in contemporary mathematical development. The work is structured like this: first we will examine patterns with regard to their formal, viz. mathematical, features through some lectures. Computational geometry is a thriving mathematical discipline in its own right. We will exploit some of its advanced procedures and methods in order to exhibit the formal technicalities underlying pattern‐making. A consistent and exhaustive classification of most patterns can be easily reached through it. Among them‐ selves, we will explore Voronoi, fractal branching, Menger sponge, halftone patterns, quasi crystals from an esthetic point of view. My purpose is to show that they successfully meet the high demands of contemporary architecture, notably environmental adaptability, formal attractiveness and structural resilience. Finally, we will try to define “bottom‐up” and “top‐down” de‐ signing processes where patterns play a major role. Some abstract prototypes will be sketched and test specimens devised. As prototypes, they should be viewed as self‐develop‐ ing creative machines liable to be tested in concrete contexts and be improved on the grounds of the results of trial and error procedures. In this area we will try to work on physical models in order to have a direct and intuitive approach.
