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 2011.01.03 : concept research, first pin-up critics, idea development



Students start working on the fast production of concepts for a pavilion or an installation to be placed in a site inside the AIU (architectural faculty patio); pin-up at the end of the day.

Today's lecture is about "Fashion of Architecture - Geometry lessons" (Prof. Aref Maksoud), in which the body-space relation is furthermore expanded in the perspective of the interconnection between fashion and architecture, with a closer look as dresses as architectural devices and their strategies of body adaption by form through the use of geometry (plications, tessellations, folds).

Each group gets a personalized critic to their initial creative embryos, helping them to recognize the potential of each direction. Students keep working on the ideas that where selected during pin-up crtics.


Students have then furthermore developed the selected ideas (strategy development, site negotiation), supported by group tutoring during the day.
