January

2009 to 2010 (2010-01-01 18:41)

[1] Ultimo giorno dell’anno per cui tempo di bilanci e di propositi. Per quanto mi riguarda è stato un anno intenso e meraviglioso in cui ho avuto l’opportunità di concretizzare alcuni dei miei sogni e di rendere il mio interesse digitale maggiormente al centro della mia professione. Ma anche un anno in cui il blog ha avuto modo di sfociare in iniziative, workshop, ed incontri. Ecco, sicuramente la cosa più bella ed interessante del 2009 è che il blog mi ha permesso di ”incontrare” gente interessante ed interessata .... e tanta. Innanzitutto AAST .... gli eventi organizzati, ovvero la mostra, la conferenza ed i vari workshop hanno soprattutto messo in evidenza che la via intrapresa ovvero quella di coniugare l’entusiasmo e la competenza di tutor qualificati con la curiosità, la voglia di apprendere (e di colmare il gap esitente con ciò che sul web vedono ed osservano con avidità) degli utenti non può che dare risultati estremamente positivi e prolifici. I workshop sono andati ben oltre il rigido insegnamento ma si sono trasformati in giornate intense e coinvolgenti, in notti di lavoro intenso sia da parte degli utenti che dei tutor che a loro volta si sono prodigati ben oltre i tempi e le modalità previste cercando di trasmettere interamente il proprio bagaglio di esperienze, di tricks e conoscenze spronando i ragazzi a continuare le proprie ricerche ed esperienze iniziate nei workshop. Ma il vero valore aggiunto va oltre i workshop in se stessi. E’ nelle conoscenze fra le persone che si sono create, nelle amicizie, nella voglia di intraprendere collaborazioni, fare progetti assieme, di aver creato dialogo, curiosità, voglia di approfondire alcune tematiche ed argomenti, di mettersi in discussione. E’ nell’aver creato una network di persone che, finita l’esperienza limitata nel tempo, continuano a condividere idee e contenuti tramite i molteplici strumenti che il web mette a disposizione e che non osserva solo 9

più il web ma ne è entrata a far parte in maniera autonoma dialogando e partecipandone attivamente. Aver avuto l’opportunità di organizzare, seppur fra molte difficoltà e probabilmente anche in modo non perfetto o sicuramente migliorabile, un evento simile è stata un esperienza ed un occasione unica e approffitto di questo post per ringraziare tutti coloro che in qualche modo ne hanno preso parte. Un doveroso ringraziamento a chi ha organizzato fra mille difficoltà l’evento. Un caloroso ringraziamento a chi ha insegnato ed ha condiviso con me lo spirito con cui l’evento è stato pensato. Ma soprattutto un grande grazie a chi ha partecipato ai workshop ed ha investito tempo e risorse (preziose di questi tempi) dando fiducia al nostro modo di vedere e pensare le cose. Unica nota di rammarico è stato il fatto di non aver portato a termine tutti i workshop programmati. Alcuni accadimenti (per lo più indipendenti dalla nostra volontà) hanno fatto annullare (o meglio prorogare) il workshop di Digital Project e di Revit. Di questa cosa me ne scuso in prima persona e spero con l’anno a venire di riuscire a portare a termine tutti gli appuntamenti previsti, magari inserendo dei valori aggiunti in modo da ripagare chi era intenzionato a seguirli del disguido causato. Ma il 2009 è stato eccezionale anche per ciò che il web mi ha dato. Innanzitutto ho avuto modo di valutare quanto gli strumenti del social networking possano essere utili alla diffusione di conoscenza e dello scambio di idee e contenuti. Sia facebook che twitter si sono rivelati due strumenti estremamente potenti, in grado di mettere in contatto persone focalizzate sulle stesse tematiche, rendendo possibili scambi di quantità di informazioni impensabili, dialoghi e discussioni sempre proficue e soprattutto rendendo possibili amicizie ed affinità a volte molto più reali di quelle reali. Appunto fra queste amicizie ”virtuali” molte si sono concretizzte in incontri, discussioni ed il più delle volte anche in opportunità. Fra queste in prima battuta va l’amicizia con Davide del Giudice ed Alessio Erioli che in questa ultima parte dell’anno si sta concretizzando anche in una avventura comune che abbiamo deciso di chiamare [2]Co-de-iT. Ma anche la consulenza per DuPont a Ginevra, il workshop di Grasshopper a Milano, la lecture via Skype con Amorphica in Messico, i workshop di Maya, Generative Components e Grasshopper di AAST sono il frutto di incontri ed interazioni fra persone nati sul web. Come dicevo appunto la cosa più importante di quest’anno sono le persone conosciute. Non le cito volutamente ma a tutte quante va il mio più grande ringraziamento per questo anno meraviglioso che, nonostante sia di crisi reale, ha messo in luce (come in ogni periodo di crisi) le migliori persone, risorse e strumenti per uscirne.

[3] AAST group: Alessio Erioli, Marco Vanucci, Filippo Innocenti, Federico Rossi, Andrea Graziano, Davide del Giudice, Ludovico Lombardi, Edmondo Occhipinti. Mi scuso con Annarita Papeschi, Ludovica Tramontin e Fulvio Wirz ma è l’unica foto che ho di gruppo e sicuramente avrebbero offuscato e messo in secondo piano i presenti.

[1] Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy to announce that with [2]Davide Del Giudice and [3]Alessio Erioli we are starting a new adventure called Co-de-iT. Co-de-iT is a connectivity HUB for computation, design, research & teaching in architecture. Project development and consultancy happen here, both first person by our team members or by building communication with specific required knowledge subjects, bridging different fields to the project. Co-de-iT is also configured as a HUB that means to operate as a catalyzer in the architectural process to trigger and engage (both conceptually and technically) levels of complexity and differentiation as an evolved answer to project instances that range from conceptual design to personalized fabrication. Co-de-iT try to promote in Italy, but not only, events and workshops about digital tools and generative methodology into architectural and design process.

[1] Elegant Ecotones Grasshopper workshop Level I - parametric & generative design Co-de-iT Bologna 15-19 marzo 2010 Descrizione: L’ecotono è la zona di transizione tra due o più ecosistemi, ed è la zona in cui si manifestano in modo più evidente i temi di soglia, gradiente, variazione, catastrofe, dove le condizioni di limite e transizione possono essere esplorate trasformandole in configurazioni formali e architettoniche interessanti. Il workshop mira ad indagare strategie attraverso cui si manifestano le condizioni di transizione tra ecosistemi, sia in termini spaziali (dalla scala territoriale alla scala dei componenti) che in termini di evoluzione o ci25

clicità temporale (condizioni critiche come i cicli notte/giorno nelle zone desertiche). Il tema dell’eleganza riguarda il modo in cui il sistema produce un campo armonicamente articolato e differenziato di fenotipi a partire dal genotipo attraverso un processo di ”estetica delle forze” guidata attraverso lo strumento digitale. Il tema sarà dipanato attraverso le giornate del workshop sviluppando aspetti teorici e tecnici dell’approccio parametrico generativo, con particolare attenzione a strategie di design basate su caratteristiche endogene (vincoli interni del sistema) ed esogene (fattori ambientali) allo scopo di stimolare l’esplorazione di soluzioni sistemiche innovative. Il numero dei partecipanti è fissato a 16 per offrire un tutoraggio proficuo ed una effettiva esperienza di learning ad ogni iscritto. Temi: Teoria . transizione . eleganza . efficienza . ridondanza . sensibilità . ornamento . spazio tecnica . dati:gestione, manipolazione, visualizzazione . generazione di geometria da dati . logiche parametriche applicate al design . genotipo/fenotipi . attrattori, drivers e tecniche di modulazione Dettagli: Istruttori: Giulio Piacentino - McNeel (GH intro) Alessio Erioli + Andrea Graziano - Co-de-iT (GH & design tutors). Si richiede esperienza di base nella modellazione in Rhino. Saranno disponibili computers con preinstallate versioni di prova del software; i partecipanti potranno, a loro discrezione, utilizzare il proprio notebook. Quota d’iscrizione (max 16 posti) : ¬ 400 + IVA - la quota non comprende vitto e alloggio Luogo : Pentacom - Via Petroni 18/4, Bologna Orario : 10.00-18.00.

3 years of DigitAG& [pdf ebook] (2010-04-06 10:30)

[1] Tre anni di blog ... non mi sembra vero. Ho deciso di farne un ebook-pdf per alcuni motivi: - innanzitutto perchè può essere comodo per chi arriva sul mio blog per la prima volta in modo da farsi una idea del tutto senza non doversi necessariamente navigare tutto il blog. - perchè è una collezione di link sempre a portata di mano. - perchè nella sua semplicità è uno specchio (in)fedele di ciò che è successo in questi tre anni nel campo della ricerca architettonica digitale, del suo sviluppo, delle sue mutazioni e della vasta proliferazione sul web di siti e sperimentazioni inerenti. - per ringraziare tutti coloro che ho linkato e che sono i veri protagonisti del blog. Grazie a tutti! Andrea [2]link al PDF 37

[1] ”The Digital Fabrication (Dfab) in Architecture studio Tutor: Assist. Prof. Shinya OKUDA The Dfab in Architecture studio will introduce advanced Design to Fabrication flow, such as 3D modeling, Simulation, Digital Fabrication and Physical assembly and testing. It will explore one of the most significant and latest design and fabrication shifts in contemporary construction industry. The studio will commence with workshop based hands-on exercise with 3D printer, Laser engraver and CNC router. Precedent architectural case studies will be discussed to illustrate the concept. Individual design projects will be followed to apply the Dfab approach into actual context, while coping with site, programmatic, structural and environmental constraints. Rigorous works on simultaneous digital modeling and physical fabrication will be demanded. Key outputs will be established design to fabrication flow, individual large-scale digitally fabricated architectural models and relevant 2D drawings and diagrams.” [2]Link

supermanoeuvre (2010-05-05 10:33)

[1] ”SUPERMANOEUVRE is an architectural practice that sees computation as a means of opportunistically collaborating with the heterogeneity and flux of social, cultural and ecological substrates. Employing both genetic and phenotypical strategies of formation in which multiple intelligences and behaviours compete for the gift of instantiation, supermanoeuvre seeks to move beyond the diagram as the dominant of architectural understanding. The resulting complex and adaptive morphologies achieve their definition performatively as the emergent outcome of highly specific architectural concerns embedded within generating rulesets. The practice was co-founded in 2006 by Dave Pigram [New York] and Iain Maxwell [London] as a collaborative studio through which contemporary architectures may be engaged. This blog is intended as a active repository of knowledge pertaining to contemporary architectural resources, techniques and theory. It is an open platform intended for not only our collaborators, peers and students, but also for the greater design community.” Un blog che non ha bisogno di presentazioni dove sono condivise moltissime risorse dedicate allo scripting in processing, rhinoscript e con una sezione appena aperta dedicata a futuri script in python sia per Maya che per Rhino.

Co-de-iT - Conditional Proliferations - GH Workshop - Roma (2010-05-07 10:48)

[1] Conditional Proliferations Grasshopper workshop Level I parametric & generative design Roma - 07-11 giugno 2010 [.] Descrizione La proliferazione è una modalità di occupazione dello spazio. In dipendenza dal proprio modo di interazione ambientale, gli edifici possono essere distrubuiti e/o aggregati in modalità appropriate in modo da accumulare o disperdere gli effetti della loro interazione e il proprio impatto sull’evoluzione delle relazioni future. A livelli più bassi si può, ad esempio, considerare la distribuzione di componenti o caratteristiche lungo un involucro. Approcci basati su unità funzionali operano una proliferazione basata sulla ripetizione indifferenziata e insensibile all’ambiente, risultando in una discretizzazione di matrice convenzionale e nella separazione tra edifici, edifici e contesto o spazi interni ed esterni; un diverso tipo di approccio, basato sulla condizione (termine usato nella sua doppia accezione di indicatore dinamico della tendenza di sviluppo dell’ecosistema e in quella causale if a then b), introduce una forma di proliferazione che sfida e scioglie la dicotomia artificiale: molte piante crescono ovunque le condizioni portino ad esse beneficio, senza riguardo per limiti codificati nello spazio in cui si sviluppano. Le implicazioni sulla negoziazione dello spazio e sulla definizione di soglia sono notevoli; il sistema produce un campo armonicamente articolato e differenziato di fenotipi a partire dal genotipo attraverso un processo di ”estetica delle forze” guidata attraverso lo strumento digitale. A livello urbano questo può tradursi nella proliferazione di infrastrutture o di spazi che mettono in discussione la concezione statica di ”confine” e ”unità” in favore di modelli in grado di generare una gamma più 47

estesa di inflessioni tra livelli di complessità e indirizzarli per abilitare e rendere accessibili potenzialità d’uso a loro volta articolate e complesse. Il tema sarà dipanato attraverso le giornate del workshop sviluppando aspetti teorici e tecnici dell’approccio parametrico generativo, con particolare attenzione a strategie di design urbano basate su caratteristiche endogene (vincoli interni del sistema) ed esogene (fattori ambientali) allo scopo di stimolare l’esplorazione di soluzioni sistemiche innovative. Il numero dei partecipanti è stabilito tra le 15 e le 20 persone per offrire un tutoraggio proficuo ed una effettiva esperienza di learning ad ogni iscritto.

Apomechanes 2010 studio - seminar & workshop (2010-05-11 09:09)

[1] Apomechanes 2010 studio [seminar and workshop] will be held from the 19th of July till the 6th of August. 48

Apomechanes is an intensive 3-week computational design studio held each summer in Athens, Greece. The studio is devoted to furthering techniques and concepts of algorithmic processes as means for design and fabrication. Apomechanes brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds and fields of study to discuss, exchange and collaborate on projects that investigate modes of algorithmic and machinic processes in architectural design. At present computational techniques are predominantly employed in the optimization, rationalization or surface decoration of more traditionally created wholes. This research instead focuses on the inherent potential of computation to generate space and of algorithmic procedures to engage self-organization in the design process. During the workshop, participants create their own custom algorithms leading to the fabrication of working full-scale prototypes appropriate to their research trajectories. Participants engage closely with computational processes in order to develop an aesthetic and intuition of complexity that resides in a balance between design intent and emergent character.

Open Generative Design (2010-05-17 09:26)

[1] Segnalo l’interessantissima iniziativa creata da [2]Sivam Krish ”Open generative Design - CAD independant Generative Design Frame Work”. ”Why CAD independent ? Generative Design works on top of CAD. There are many types of CAD tools. Different tools are good for different tasks. It is best to generate designs at a schematic level. This way schemes can used for a variety of similar design problems. They can also be used across CAD platforms. More importantly they can be shared and built upon.” ”The aim is to develop platform independent algorithms which can be used to browse through solution spaces of various parametric definitions. The algorithms will be written in Excel and special add-on will 50

be developed for each parametric modeling package.” [via Peer produced Space] [3]Link al sito [4]Link alla community 1. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8b3DosMhRWc/S_DzeJwQzkI/AAAAAAAABho/UGl2bh_Fhls/s1600/Open+Generative+Design. jpg 2. http://generativedesign.wordpress.com/ 3. http://www.opengenerativedesign.com/index.html 4. http://generativedesign.ning.com/

DEADLINE EXTENSION: June 25th, 2010 To apply: education@opolab.com ”Speculatis” develops a context to conceptualize the intersection of lighting systems and their possible interaction with user movement, programmatic space and morphological innovation in relationship to advanced modeling techniques and fabrication technologies. The platform of exploration intends to foster awareness on the potential of modulating relationships of light intensity with various environmental dynamic factors and their relationship to program in architectural space and landscapes at large providing an opportunity to rethink concepts of space and ambiance as generators of architectural and urban space - while learning and applying tools to fully realize them as products, objects, spaces or other entities. The workshop will be divided into 2 parts. The first part - ”machina” - will consist of seminars and practical classes addressing conceptualization, modeling and fabrication techniques for the construction of possible innovative structures of chandeliers. Both seminars and classes will approach the intersection of concepts of morphology, structure and interactivity and the capability of tuning those with several advanced modeling techniques and fabrication technologies. The second part - ”lux” - will consist of seminars and practical classes that encompass the full implementation of the interactive lighting system in the structure realized formerly in the first section. Students will learn techniques to create sensing of input and modulation of light output, explore integration of respective electronic systems in their structures and complete a final chandelier with full operational capacity. ”Machina” Saturday, July 10th - Tuesday, July 13th Introduction lecture. Seminars on modeling with rhino and rhino scripting and on use of cutter. Studio consultancy with teams to discuss specific projects. Fabrication of unit. ”Lux” Wednesday, July 14th - Saturday, July 17th Introduction to electronics and lighting wiring. Seminar on tools for connection of interactive parts.

Hyper Threads - AA Bangalore Summer School 2010 (2010-06-18 14:01)

[1] A 10 day workshop and 1 day symposium conducted by AA School of architecture, London and BMS College of Engineering , Bangalore. 02 12 August , 2010. This August the AA School of Architecture, London, Zaha Hadid Architects Computation and Research group (ZHACDRG), Autodesk Inc and Department of Architecture, BMS College of Engineering , Bangalore will bring a unique architectural workshop and 1 day symposium to Bangalore. The workshop as represented by the diversity of the collaborators, will explore the relations between contemporary software technology, design techniques, creative expression and its manifestation within Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergent economy and ancient built traditions. The intention is to look beyond Computer Aided Design (CAD ) as simple design automation to CAD as enabling architectural creativity whilst still responding to complex spatial and material performance constraints of our times. Objectives. The workshop will focus on exploring connections between architecture, New Media and fabrication. The aim will be to provide the participants conceptual and programming framework for advanced digital methods within collaborative architectural design. Towards this, the workshop intends to make available a rich, varied and international talent pool from institutions such as Zaha Hadid Architects London, AA School of Architecture , London, Southern California institute of architecture ( SCI-Arc ), Los Angeles apart from local partners including BMS college, Bangalore. Further, the workshop expects to tap into expertise of Autodesk, who are on-board as software-development / training collaborators of the workshop. The workshop will initiate participants into a compressed version of design to production cycles in contemporary architectural practices. The design brief for the workshop will centre on the design of a canopy/shelter and the emphasis in the teaching will be placed on emergent computational designproduction tools and techniques. Aiming to extend the knowledge base of the participants, the workshop will use production-proven design methods, and software platforms both for concept development and material articulation. It looks to build on previously successful workshops at the AA and elsewhere, and generate a platform to show case Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s architectural design talent. Certification. AA School of Architecture and BMSCE will individually certify participation in the workshop as part of their design curricula. Autodesk Inc will certify participation as part of their Autodesk training certification for specific software used / taught during the course.

”Searching as a way of life” [the quote] (2010-07-30 13:07) ”In the network economy, nine times out of ten, your fiercest competitor will not come from your own field. In turbulent times, when little is locked in, it is imperative to search as wide as possible for places where innovations erupt. Innovations increasingly interfect from other domains. A ceaseless blanket search–wide, easy, and shallow–is the only way you can be sure you will not be surprised. Don’t read trade magazines in your field; scan the magazines of other trades. Talk to anthropologists, poets, historians, artists, philosophers. Hire some 17-year-olds to work in your office. Make a habit to visit a web site 68

at random. Tune in to talk radio. Take a class in scenario making. You’ll have a much better chance at recognizing the emergence of something important if you treat these remote venues as neighbors.” [1]kevin Kelly 1. http://www.kk.org/newrules/blog/

volatile prototypes (2010-08-03 14:38)

[1] â&#x20AC;?Volatile Prototypes was initiated in 2008 as a platform for design research and experimentation that embraces computational processes as a key ingredient of analysis and synthesis in design. 70

Specifically, Volatile Prototypes seeks to explore and promote the computation-enabled integration of the heterogenous information and processes taking part in the design of physical objects (such as functional parameters, material properties, organizational principles, manufacturing processes, representation issues etc.), in order to develop intuitive design environments and explore different design possibilities and prospects in spatial organization.” [2]Link al blog [3]Link al sito [4]Link ai post relativi alla tool ”StandUp” 1. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8b3DosMhRWc/TFgOX7mc74I/AAAAAAAABrM/jMgItCGEdcc/s1600/volatileprototypes.jpg 2. http://www.volatileprototypes.com/blog/ 3. http://www.volatileprototypes.com/ 4. http://www.volatileprototypes.com/projects/surfkit/

f(AA)shions | AA Visiting School Paris (2010-09-06 08:44)

[1] The workshop is open to worldwide emerging designers -in architecture and fashion design, students, recent graduates and young professionals. Our objective is the exploration of novel productions in fashion and architecture. Fashion scene today has become an ensemble of socio-morphological forces connecting people, catalyzing experimental open design. Fashion per se, with its affinity for transformation, sets a terrain of becomings, architectural identities, scenery and performance. Within the ever-changing realm of fashion, AA Paris School will foster integral dynamic qualities opening to surprising typologies intrinsic to temporal bodies, fluid matter(s), and singular proportions, morphed together onto large organic systems.

Our objective is the exploration of novel productions in fashion and architecture. Fashion scene today has become an ensemble of socio-morphological forces connecting people, catalyzing 75

experimental open design. Fashion per se, with its affinity for transformation, sets a terrain of becomings, architectural identities, scenery and performance. Within the ever-changing realm of fashion, AA Paris School will foster integral dynamic qualities opening to surprising typologies intrinsic to temporal bodies, fluid matter(s), and singular proportions, morphed together onto large organic systems.

[1] ”We are a multi-disciplinary conglomerate of architecture students from around the country, brought together through an appreciation for intelligent design. Our aim is to promote the knowledge and awareness of designs which are sustainable, contextually inherent, engaging and flexible through the establishment of precedent and research; we hope to advance the contemporary ideals of present architectural theory, influence approaches to design and provide a knowledge base of design exemplar. Our drive to design is passionate; our work tests notions of the current, looks to the un-discovered ( & un-tested) and strives to explore new questions of architectural design.” [2]Link al blog [3]Link al post ”Strand Research”

Master Universitario di II livello in Territorio e Architettura Sostenibili - TAS (2010-09-06 09:14)

[1] ”Il Master ha come obiettivo lo studio delle problematiche di natura ambientale e il progressivo affermarsi dei principi di eco-compatibilità, in relazione alla progettazione territoriale e architettonica, che pongono in primo piano la necessità di: un approccio progettuale ispirato ai principi di sviluppo sostenibile; una innovazione dei processi insediativi territoriali, urbani e architettonici; una stretta sinergia con le potenzialità dell’innovazione tecnologica; una maggiore competenza dei progettisti nei campi ecologico, strutturale ed energetico. E’ necessario acquisire competenze per le integrazioni fotovoltaiche nell’edilizia e di climatizzazione a basso consumo energetico, strettamente connesse a modi nuovi di progettare unità urbane e spazi architettonici eco-compatibili. Il Corso di Master Universitario nasce per fornire ai progettisti, architetti e ingegneri, una formazione specifica e specialistica nel campo degli interventi eco-compatibili e bioclimatici sul territorio, in quelli dell’integrazione energetica degli spazi architettonici preesistenti e nuovi, oltre che nello studio delle problematiche sociali e degli adeguati ambiti spaziali. Il Corso è finalizzato a fornire ai progettisti di interventi territoriali e architettonici, la capacità di affrontare i complessi problemi della sostenibilità e della tutela e sviluppo delle risorse ambientali ed energetiche. Il profilo professionale è quello di progettista specializzato nella soluzione di problemi ambientali, riferiti alla organizzazione del territorio e dello spazio architettonico. L’attenzione ai problemi della sostenibilità, che l’attuale società manifesta, fa prevedere una forte richiesta, all’interno della pubblica amministrazione e del mercato della libera professione, di una figura di progettista capace di dialogare con altre figure professionali della tecnologia impiantistica energetica e della produzione industriale edilizia coinvolte nel processo di progettazione e realizzazione di un ambiente ad alta sostenibilità e qualità abitativa.” [2]Link al sito

echomaterico (2010-09-07 09:03)

[1] Fa sempre piacere parlare di realtà italiane emergenti e lo studio Echomaterico fondato da Berardo Matalucci, Fabiano Spano e Enrico Crobu è appunto una di queste. ”echomaterico was founded in 2007 as a system of competences oriented towards an architecture driven by the symbiosis of people and nature. Its main vocation has been to stimulate and reactivate natural and artificial ecosystems, integrating design, analytical and manufacturing attitudes. It’s work has been recognized in different international competitions.” [2] Link al sito [3]Link al blog 1. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8b3DosMhRWc/TIXklOXXaII/AAAAAAAABs8/GZHg1wyg3kA/s1600/echomaterico.jpg 2. http://echomaterico.net/ 3. http://www.echomaterico.net/blog/

[1] HOST// ISTITUTO NAZIONALE DI ARCHITETTURA TUTORS// LaN DIRECTORS CarloMaria Ciampoli, Luis Fraguada & Monika Wittig CNC SUPPORT// SOLIDO Filippo Moroni PROGRAM// WALLˆ2: The idea of Wall-Squared surfaces as a way of initiating explorations of complex surfaces. ITERATIVE design will be the emphasized design mode. Participants will be given a preliminary WALL and asked to design a second iteration through a controlled modification of a project parameters. Subsequent design iterations will seek to fully integrate insight gained from 1:1 scale fabrication explorations. The workshop proposes the exploration of ’digital tectonics’ whereby the emphasis is on total integration between digital modeling and fabrication at a 1:1 scale. Parametric design will be utilized in both methodology and modeling, where students will explore both associative and generative techniques that investigate variation in form and stress physical production design integration. The workshop will result in the production of full scale, digitally manufactured prototypes. Three main topics will be examined 1/ digital design theory, 2/ parametric design + modeling [RHINO, GRASSHOPPER] and 3/ digital fabrication [RHINOCAM] Each of the tutors hold different specializations within the stated aspects. The workshop will emphasize the importance of fusing the three topics, and the final outcome will consist of a fully integrated design- to-production prototypes through engagement with accessible CNC production means 3d printer, CNC routers & laser cutters.

[1] ”Matter is a design collaborative studio founded by [2]brandon clifford and [3]wes mcgee. The firm has a number of ongoing preoc- cupations surrounding design as it evolves through the digital era. digital Today it is hard to imagine a world without the computer. We second this as our firm lives digitally. Our communication and process are inherently digital, while the result is physical. material matter | something that occupies space. While our world is becoming ever digitized, our ultimate passion is in making. We are invested in eliciting the potentials of means and methods of making (in the traditional sense) through a digital process. The contemporary architect has many digital tools to manifest their designs laser cutters, 3d printers, waterjets, ect. We recognize that many of these technologies have provoked their own processes of making, often times irre- spective of that materials history. interdisciplinary We invite research of various fields that could potentially inform our architectural research. collaboration Matter is constructed through conversations. No project is completed in a vacuum. While each project is directed by brandon and wes, the collaborators make each project unique in turn, matter’s pedagogical objectives are continued simultaneously as the numerous collaborators elicit variety in the work. If you are interested in a collaboration please make sure to contact us.” [4]Link al blog 1. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8b3DosMhRWc/TJoNPi5m47I/AAAAAAAABuY/tf0dDMvJVeg/s1600/matterdesign.jpg 2. http://www.matterdesignstudio.com/about/brandon-clifford/ 3. http://www.matterdesignstudio.com/about/wes-mcgee/ 4. http://www.matterdesignstudio.com/

Blog Binturong (2010-10-28 13:13)

[1] ”We are Jason Lim and Asami Takahashi of [2]Atelier Panda. We created Blog Binturong in order to share some of our thoughts, techniques and code. As designers, we are constantly inspired by the amazing work that is shared online and learn immensely from the knowledge that is freely distributed. The design world is greatly enriched by this spirit of generosity. This blog collects some of the generative code, underlying thoughts and techniques of making that goes into our work. A lot of this knowledge has been developed over the course of our design projects: some of it earned through costly trial-and-error, some of it the results of happy accidents, all of it benefiting from resources made available by other designers. This is our way of contributing knowledge back to the wider community. We hope that its contents can be useful and even inspiring to you.” I want to underline the post ”Straight to Fabrication” where they announce: ”We are working on a grasshopper component (for version 0.7) that lays out the cutting patterns on a flat sheet. It will incorporate some form of packing logic to reduce material waste. With this component, any changes in the parametric relationships of the grasshopper model will result in automatically updated cut sheets. We plan to release the component once it is done so check back soon or visit Atelier Panda.” [3]Link to blog [4]Link to post ”Straight to Fabrication”

BlendME (2010-11-08 10:02)

[1] BlendME (Blender Modelling Environment for Architecture) is a tool aimed at rapid design and analysis of commercial and residential building design. It brings together many already existing open-source tools to produce a platform for modelling and interaction of the results of many simulation methodologies. The use of open-source software as a basis for BlendME is important for the following reasons: Scalability : all tools should be able to easily scale across low-cost high performance computing (HPC) clusters (Beowulf clusters) using MPI. This is especially important for computationally-intensive processes such as CFD but also may have advantages in enabling real-time computation of other less-cpu intensive processes such as auralization. Low-cost : The building industry is very budget-oriented and in order to improve design and realize the vision of low-energy architecture it is understood that tools must be low-cost in order to improve adoption of technical design tools in the industry. Distribution: In order to facilitate education it is important to have a platform which can be distributed 99

as a liveUSB and copied without fear of copyright. The package currently incorporates: 3D Building Information Modelling Thermal Energy Modelling (through EnergyPlus) Computational Fluid Dynamics (through OpenFOAM) Lighting analysis (through Radiance) Sun-path analysis Import: o gbXML Export: openFOAM case files Radiace case files EnergyPlus (.idf) files FDS (.fds) files Further native features of Blender that complement the addon are: Interactive walk-through and visualisation Photo-realistic rendering through a large choice of rendering engines In the future it is hoped to incorporate: Fire Modelling Life-cycle cost-benefit analysis Acoustic raytracing and 3D real-time auralization Queue/egress modelling BlendMe isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available yet, but when it will, it will be commercial/donation based add-on.

”TAC - Technically Advanced Construction” postgraduate course @ Politecnico di Milano - january>april 2011 (2010-11-10 15:10)

ITA Finalmente dopo mesi spesi nella preparazione ed organizzazione posso condividere la notizia dell’attivazione del Corso di perfezionamento ”T.A.C. - Technically Advanced Construction” che con [1]Alessio Erioli e il dipartimento BEST del [2]Politecnico di Milano nella persona della Prof.sa Ingrid Paoletti abbiamo organizzato per l’inizio del 2011. T.A.C. credo sia un corso innovativo (in Italia) sotto molti aspetti. Innovativo per gli argomenti affrontati. Innovativo per le persone chiamate a trasmettere conoscenza e a seguire costantemente i partecipanti. Innovativo probabilmente anche per le modalità con cui è organizzato. Ovviamente vi chiedo di diffondere tramite i vostri canali, ufficiali e non, la notizia del corso e se siete a conoscenza di eventuali persone, enti o realtà che potrebbero sponsorizzare l’evento ... non fatevi problemi a comunicarcelo! 104

[3] [4]TAC Technically Advanced Construction è un corso di perfezionamento per laureati e professionisti promosso dal Dipartimento di Scienza e Tecnologie dell’Ambiente Costruito (BEST) del Politecnico di Milano. Avrà una durata di tre mesi e permetterà ai partecipanti di raggiungere livelli specifici di conoscenza nel processo di ”design-to-production” tramite l’uso di strumenti digitali avanzati per la progettazione e macchinari per la creazione e lo sviluppo di modelli fisici. L’intero corso, con sede al Politecnico di Milano, si svolgerà attraverso studi, workshop, e periodi di lavoro costantemente assistiti (durante lo sviluppo, la fabbricazione e i test di prova) da uno staff di professionisti e [5]insegnanti altamente specializzati (provenienti da studi e scuole internazionali come AA London, ARUP, Buro Happold, Zaha Hadid, Gehry Technologies, SPAN Architects...). L’obiettivo è la progettazione, la prototipazione, e infine il collaudo di ”multi-performative skins” tramite software per il design computazionale. Le verifiche in itinere delle performance della ”skin” costituiranno il feedback principale per ottimizzare il design finale. Il corso TAC sarà affiancato e completato da una serie di lectures ”live” aperte a tutti e gratuite, tenute dagli stessi tutors del corso e da professionisti e insegnanti di fama internazionale. Il corso inizierà il 17 gennaio 2011 e terminerà il 15 aprile 2011 (frequenza giornaliera). Le registrazioni sono aperte fino al 13 dicembre 2010. [Voglio anche ringraziare in questo post [6]Matteo Lo Prete per il suo apporto fondamentale alla creazione del corso e Elena Scripelliti per il prezioso contributo nella stesura del materiale e dei contenuti oltrechè nella gestione del tutto. Un grazie doveroso anche all’Arch. Francesco Vaj per l’aiuto alla realizzazione del sito.] ———————————-———————– ENG Finally, after months spent in the design, preparation and organization together with [7]Alessio Erioli and BEST department of [8]Politecnico di Milano in the person of Professor Ingrid Paoletti, we can share the news of the activation of a Postgraduate course ”TAC - Technically Advanced Construction”; course will start at the beginning of 2011. I think T.A.C. is an innovative course in Italy under many aspects. Innovative topics covered. Innovative for the people involveded to transmit knowledge and to keep track of participants. Probably also for the innovative way it is organized. Of course, I ask you to spread through your channels, official and unofficial, the news of the course and if you know of any persons, companies or realities that could sponsor the event ... feel free to communicate us!

[9] [10]TAC Technically Advanced Construction is a new postgraduate course for graduates and professionals established by the Department of Building Environment Science and Technology (BEST), Politecnico di Milano. It will run for three months and will allow participants to achieve high levels of knowledge in the design-to-production process through the use of advanced digital tools for design and machines for t...he creation of physical models. The entire course, based at the Polytechnic of Milan, will take place through studies, workshops and working periods assisted (during the development, manufacture and test trial) by a team of highly skilled professionals and [11]teachers (from studies and international schools like AA London, ARUP, Buro Happold, Zaha Hadid, Gehry Technologies, SPAN Architects ...). The objective is to design, prototype, and finally test ”multi-performative skins” through computational design software. Audits in progress performance of the ”skin” will be the main feedback to optimize the final design. The course will be completed by a series of public lectures held by the same course tutors and other professionals and teachers of international renown. The course will start on January 17, 2011 and will end on April 15, 2011 (daily attendance). Registration are open until December 13, 2010. ———————————–———————– Link [12]http://www.tac.polimi.it/index.html 1. http://www.co-de-it.com/ 2. http://www.best.polimi.it/ 3. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8b3DosMhRWc/TKxkNwBtTxI/AAAAAAAABxI/QB3FfvGDxdA/s1600/TAC_anteprima.jpg 4. http://www.tac.polimi.it/index.html 5. http://www.tac.polimi.it/tutors.html 6. http://www.matteoloprete.com/eng/ 7. http://www.co-de-it.com/ 8. http://www.best.polimi.it/ 9. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8b3DosMhRWc/TKxk5XKAhBI/AAAAAAAABxQ/jVwiC_S5x0A/s1600/TAC_tutors.jpg 10. http://www.tac.polimi.it/index.html 11. http://www.tac.polimi.it/tutors.html 12. http://www.tac.polimi.it/index.html

in[form]ation

Co-de-iT lecture (2010-11-22 16:27)

[1] in[form]ation is a lecture about the role of information (both as knowledge unit and morphogenetic driver) 108

in generative processes and design strategies in the world of complexity. How do we move from a crisis towards an improved awareness of nature as a system of emergent processes, non linear networks and digital tools as media for design and production? The lecture tries to address this multiplicitous question, and since february 2009, when it was first presented, it was changed ad evolved to the present set of slides. abstract We are experiencing a crisis, and facing it we are not able anymore to understand it or finding solutions to it without a paradimg shift in our thinking. Such shift involves theories about complexity, emergence, network, self-organization, material systems, digital tools and their consequences on our model of reality, knowledge, cognition, culture, economy, ecology and, ultimately, architecture. What is the common element in this network of interconnected systems? All of them are operating in a continuous changing condition (far from equilibrium) and rely on information (matter-energy) exchange. Information lies at the bottom of physical things, it is involved in morphogenesis as well as in the evolution of culture and communication. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a look on how information plays that role in nature (as well as what nature is under this perspective) and in architecture, especially in its linkages with digital tools and generative and parametric approaches. Most probably it will evolve further, nonetheless we would like to share it at the present level for a very important reason: it does not matter that much to us to deliver a smoothly refined discourse in order to elegantly wrap up the topic, rather our intention is to trigger the discussion bringing our point of view, with its inevitable imperfections. Only in the confrontation among different positions there is the chance of growth and change.

Robotic Arm Fabrication (2010-11-24 08:23)

[1] ”This course is an extension of the Boston Architectural College’s Edco Grant that was awarded to Margaret Hwang, Peter Schmitt, and Matt Trimble for design research in robotic arm fabrication for architectural applications. This is an 8-wk course that will take place at [2]Radlab, in the Seaport District of Boston, and will focus on the exploration of alternative uses in robotic arm machining. The course is framed around a single project that will be presented at the end of the eight week session. Students will engage with the robotic arm as a design machine, used as another tool within a collection of other digital and physical tools. Their objective is to create a custom fixture that will attach to the robot, a material assembly upon/with which the robot will operate, and the operation itself.” [3]Link al blog 1. http://roboticarmfabrication.wordpress.com/ 2. http://www.radlabinc.com/ 3. http://roboticarmfabrication.wordpress.com/

Digital Design + Fabrication - Ball State University (2010-11-29 09:32)

[1] Blog del corso tenuto da [2]Joshua Vermillion presso la Ball State University. All’interno sono postati alcuni interessanti tutorial inerenti Grasshopper, laser cutting e la digital fabrication. ”This course is designed to survey a wide variety of contemporary design and fabrication tools to empower you for the rest of your academic and professional career demystifying design software and CNC tools and laying the groundwork for skill sets which link your design process to a design-to-fabrication feedback loop. Throughout the semester, the course will delve much deeper into specific ideas, tools, and techniques, as well as the larger ramifications that emerging digital technologies are having on architectural theory and practice. This depth will be emphasized through a series of hands-on, iterative modeling and fabrication assignments and a small, selected set of readings and discussions.” [3]Link al blog 1. http://www.i-m-a-d-e.org/fabrication/ 2.

NSO - The Nonlinear Systems Organization at PennDesign (2010-12-15 13:37)

[1] â&#x20AC;?The Nonlinear Systems Organization is a research organization at the University of Pennsylvania School of Design. Its mission is to explore ways in which architecture can demonstrate, test, and apply insights 115

and theories from mathematics and the sciences - nonlinear, algorithmic, and complex - in the design material structures across an open-ended range of scales, materials, and design disciplines. The work of the NSO is experimental and treats the activity of design itself as a form of research. The NSO seeks to produce new organizations of matter and life that possess extraordinary beauty, diversity and versatility. By exposing scientists and theorists to the opportunities of applied design, the NSO also seeks to stimulate the further development of science.” [2]Link al blog

Our core ideology is based on non-standard form finding, interactive behaviours and digital-controled fabrication. We are also concerned about emerging,complex and bionic structures and other cutting-edge research topics. Make a Hybrid focuses on intersections among learning, researching and teaching, emphasizes intercommunions of designers with different backgrounds, and tries to find integrated measures to employ parametric design, interactive-technology, CNC manufacture and new materials.” [3]Link al blog
