STRUCTURAL [TRANS]-FORMATIONS | FS 2017-2018 University of Thessaly. Department of Architecture Instructor: Ass. Prof. Maria Vrontissi Participants: E.Andritsou, V.Dimara, G.Dimitriou, A.Gagadelli, S.Karaiordanidis, M.I.Konstantinidi-Manesi, D.Koutsaka, G.Mousias, M.Tsilomitrou 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.
