Istanbul - Vertical Interventions

Istanbul Technical University, Turkey
Thursday 4 – Friday 12 April 2013
In its third year, the AA Istanbul Visiting School, Vertical Interventions, in collaboration with Istanbul Technical University, will continue to rediscover verticality through novel generative design techniques and large-scale physical prototypes. Abstracted as a fusion of various sub-systems, each subsystem of the tower will be investigated in relation to their various performance criteria. The correlations between the separate sets of performance criteria and evaluation methods will be analyzed, leading to the generation of unified design alternatives for a vertical system typology. In addition to the custom-made digital design and evaluation tools supporting the core methodology, Vertical Interventions will also highlight the fabrication and assembly of a large scale working prototype integrating the performative characteristics of each system in examination.
As in 2012, the design agendas of AA Athens and AA Istanbul Visiting Schools will directly create feedback on one another, allowing participation in either one or both Programmes.

Izmo, after two editions of Summer Schools, has organized the first edition of the International Winter School in Turin (Italy) from January 16th to January 25th 2013, which focuses on interior design and creative re-use. The course is targeted to students, graduates, professionals, and, in general, anyone who is interested in the subject of ecological and creative design.
The lectures (in English language) will be held by experts and professors of interior design and creative re-use of spaces, with the aim to provide insights as broad and multidisciplinary as possible. In addition, students will have the opportunity to experience firsthand methods of ecological and interactive design that will enable him or her to work creatively with waste materials and to approach to participatory design practices.

Izmo was established in 2006 in Turin, Italy. The association focuses on participatory process, local development, architecture, design and ICT. The name Izmo originates from the word isthmus, a thin line of land that joins two areas. Our research topic is in fact the territory: where interactions take place between public space and individuals. Our mission is to link the territories, the people with the land and the citizens with each other. We do this, for instance, through projects of urban design, installation; organization of seminars, meetings and workshops; and developing of Web platforms. In all cases, the projects designed by Izmo come from reading and from listening to people and places that will benefit from our operations.

DLAB|Green02
Architectural Association
London, UK
23 July – 05 August 2012
Green|02 is the continuation and augmentation of the color-based agenda that is initialized in DLAB with Green|01. Following the main research emphasis of DLAB, Green|02 carries on to be an intensive computation and fabrication oriented workshop experimenting on the workflow created by generative digital tools and rapid prototyping techniques.
Associated with the concepts of regeneration, emergence, and growth through its broad existence in nature, Green will serve as the inspiration for observing natural and biological structures, followed by their abstraction and interpretation into elaborated design proposals. In this manner, Green|02 will take on the design approaches and outcomes of Green|01 and continue to elaborate on them through the emphasis on precise scale, performance, and form related criteria. This phase will be highlighted with the extensive use of digital design and analysis tools towards the generation of a working one-to-one scale prototype. During the second phase, participants and tutors will be located at the AA Hooke Park facilities for the remainder of the workshop, working on the fabrication and assembly strategies of the prototype, finalizing with the assembled piece. Being an independent workshop as well as the second part of DLAB’s two-fold agenda, Green|02 will give the participants an opportunity to test in real life the profound formal, structural and performative attributes of the design outcome by accentuating the qualities of delicacy, detail, and elegance in the architectural realm.
Participants have full access to the AA Digital Prototyping Lab (DPL) for the fabrication of prototypes/models in various mediums and materials, including laser-cutting, CNC milling, 3d-printing, and other forms of physical outputs. The main fabrication phase of Green|02 will take place at the AA facilities in Hooke Park, AA’s rural campus in Dorset in the South West UK.
The workshop is open to current architecture and design students, PhD candidates and young professionals. All applicants should submit a CV and portfolio. Software Requirements: Adobe Creative Suite, Rhino (SR7 or later).
The deadline for applications is 09 July 2012. Application forms and additional information are available online at: http://www.aaschool.ac.uk/STUDY/VISITING/DLAB2
