STRUCTURAL [TRANS]-FORMATIONS | FS 2016-2017 University of Thessaly. Department of Architecture Instructor: Ass. Prof. Maria Vrontissi Participants: V.Agatsas, M.Antoniadou, Chr.Christia, A.Delimpasi, E.Diamantouli, A.Giannakoula, K.Golia, S.Lioka, M.Karagianni, N.Karagianni, Th.Kranidiotis, D.Lazaridis, E.Papadouraki, M.Pappa, E.Reppa, Th.Sianou, E.Varali, E.Vrouza 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 exercises/ subsequent readings aiming to extract the 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 attempts to approach the structural concept as a design resource and investigate the physical model as a tool for diagrammatic reasoning.
