Taking place July 16-29, the two week 'Dynamic Fields' workshop consists of analyzing and creating structures responsive to environmental energy. Presented by Parametrica, the last day of project is dedicated to Patrik Schumacher, director at Zaha Hadid Architects and founder of AA Design Reseach Lab London. Schumacher will present a lecture on Parametric Semiology (Architecture as interface of communication) as intelligent structures and parametric architecture are the primary topics up for discussion for the whole event. Students or graduates, architects, interior designers, product designers, urbanism designers, engineers and all others who wish to partake in experimenting what the parametric design of such structures is in practice are expected to join both in the workshop and the conference. More information after the break.
In the 2 weeks of the workshop, over 50 participants will identify and analyze the resources and the context in which the experiment-structures will be developed. With the help of the Rhinoceros, Grasshopper and Arduino computer programs, they will come up with different ways in which they can achieve constant reaction of the structures to the parameters found in the exterior environment. They will work in 3 large teams which will research the geometry, the materials and the techniques needed to construct a dynamic structure.
