Today's lecture (by Prof. Alessio Erioli) is  

[.] 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.

[.] 13. 20100117 :: The Final Presentation

Final presentation :

At the end of 2 weeks the students presented the final work of the workshop to an international and local jury .

AIU president ,Prof. Dr. Abdul Ghani Maa Bared attended the event and was impressed with the works accomplished  in just 12 days part time work

 

GUEST JURY

[.] 12. 20100116 :: preparing for the final presentation

Students keep refining and completing the final panels and prototypes for the final presentation on Sunday 17.

[.] 11. 20100115 14.30>19.30 :: refining work for presentation

Students keep refining and completing their material as they approach the final presentation on sunday 17.

[.] 10. 20100114 8.30>19.30 :: prototype development - video and panels ideas 2

Second, long day of big-scale prototyping, paneilng and video setup. Final panel approaches... keep up the good work!

[.] 09. 20100113 16.30>19.30 :: prototype development - video and panels ideas

While further developing large-scale prorotypes, students start storyboarding and thinking layouts for their final panels.

[.] 08. 20100112 16.30>19.30 :: prototype development

Students work on the development of large scale prototypes, considering material properties at the enlarged scale.

[.] 07. 20100111 08.30>11.30 :: final proposals development, material selection

Short lecture (Prof. Alessio Erioli) about "[Act]-ivating space", explaining strategies for intensifying space through the amplification of an aesthetic of forces related to the project (particles, light, space occupation).

Tutorized support to the groups for the choice of final prototypes materal.

[.] 06. 20100110 16.30>19.30 :: final proposal critic, project election for big scale final prototypes

After final pin-up critics, the two projects selected for the big scale prototyping are by BOOOO group and The Architists. Although these two are worth a mention, congratulations to all the groups for the quality expressed in the projects!
