STRUCTURAL [TRANS]-FORMATIONS | FS 2020-2021. University of Thessaly. Department of Architecture. Instructor: Assoc.Prof. Dr.Maria Vrontissi. Participants: Ward Omar Ahmad ALDEBBEH, Sotirios Pavlos ARTOPOIOS, Anthoula GEORGOULI, Giorgos ILIOPOULOS, Anna MARKOPOULOU, Vassliki MICHAILIDOU, Dimitris ZARAS. Challenging the prevailing typological practices, the course discusses structural design issues from a topological perspective.In a teaching framework, the course consists of a series of readings aiming to extract concrete or abstract properties of the event and translate them to qualities of the spatial composition or/ and principles of the structural arrangement.In a research context, the work discusses the structural concept as a design resource and investigates the physical model as a tool for diagrammatic reasoning.
