2014-2015
tutors: alessandra swiny & michalis georgiou & natasha christou
University of Nicosia, Department of Architecture. [ARC] Architecture Research Center
PHASE 1: LEARN (October- November)
*Experiments: Type A: Natural System precedents Type B: Architectural precedents natural systems
Topics: Tensile structures, Inflated structures, Aggregated systems, Pattern Formation systems
The key experiments should be analyzed through the following strategies: structure (skeleton, decomposition, hierarchy) functionality (heating, cooling, circulation, flow) materiality (skin, shading)
