The “Creative Art” workshop is a journey in territories where natural processes of morphogenesis tamper in the cultural ecosystem, exploring different ways of generating and representing ideas (as well as the intricate interplay between these two creative conditions) through art concepts applied as an intensive search for spatial conditions in order to configure architectonical spaces. The workshop is directed to undergraduate students (1st to 3rd year, facolty of Architecture, AIU), with little or no knowledge of digital generative tools. Aim of this course is to give students insights on different ways to generate and represent ideas combining exercises based on art examples and nature processes as paradigms. The goal will be achieved through theoretical classes, personal research and practical workshops.

[.] 01. 20100105 16.30>19.30 :: workshop introduction - first lecture

After a brief introudction to the workshop's synopsis and structure by prof. Aref Maksoud, it's time for Prof. Alessio Erioli to kickstart the class with a lecture on "Generative sensibilities". Focus of the lecture is to take a closer look on the creative process itself intended as an open exploration, which requires a form of rigorosity, introducing key concepts such as emergence, process, implicit-explicit, endogenous-exogenous and a short glimpse on how meaning in art has been displaced from the object to the intercalary space between observer and artpiece. The aim is to shift from the materialization of a preconceived idea to a process driven by trial and error, improvisation and adaptation.


Students are then divided into groups.
