STRUCTURAL [TRANS]-FORMATIONS | FS 2019-2020 University of Thessaly. Department of Architecture Instructor: Ass.Prof. Maria Vrontissi Participants: Sofia BRIZA, Kornilia CHRISTODOULOU, Konstantinos-Ermis DOLAPSOGLOU, Giorgos FOUNTOS, Sarah GARCY, Fransesco GARSIA, Emilie PALMA, Anastasia PORLIDA, Anais RIGAUX, Marialena SAKALOGLOU, Gaspard SCHURHOFF, Emma SEELIG, Paraskevi-Nikoleta STELIOU, Niki VIDALI, Marianna ZIOGA 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.
