This week the Research Studio 3 DIGITAL MATTER – INTELLIGENT CONSTRUCTIONS partook in the Adaptive Self-Parametrisation workshop, in parallel with CITA. The workshop was held by David Stasiuk –  digitalization of the physical models for the self parametrization -, Henrik Leander Evers – 3D scanning expert -, as well as the RS3 studio directors: Areti Markopoulou with Mette Ramsgaard Thompsen – CITA -  and tutor Alexandre Dubor.

The parametric model is limited by the need for defining all parameters at the start of the design process. This is contrary to the nature of design as a process of discovery. As any designer knows, the design space is dynamic changing as new information is discovered, understood and synthesised.

This workshop investigated the creating of self parametrisising models. Models that learn their parameters during the design process. By merging crafts based material knowledge with computational strategies for generative design, the workshop asked the students to think about how evolutionary systems can be implemented as conceptual as well as practical design tools. Taking point of departure in the building of a vault we want to create a design system that explores the breadth of a design space so as to understand how a network of single arches performs together and how they can be constructed.

The workshop was undertaken in sequence a parallel workshops between IAAC and CITA.  Read More »

The Lecturers tonight were presented by Enric Ruiz Geli, and cocktails followed the lecture at Cloud9, Meadi-TIC.

ART CENTER – ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN presented by David Mocarski, James Meraz, Kenneth Cameron and Jason Pilarski.

Experience Design addresses the relationships between: Body • Materials • Space & Emotion

We design Human-Centered design from the first moment of encounter, to the last moment of interaction.

Our Department is about: Designing the total Spatial Experience. We believe that the strength of the project message is based in the power of the story content and context that drives the project, the interaction, and the emotional interface. Our Department masters a wide range of spatial projects in many scales from Brand driven retail design, hospitality design to theme based restaurants, residential and exhibit & exhibition spaces. We see ourselves delivering a stronger and more inclusive spatial experience driven by the responsible use of materials and building & manufacturing practices. Our passion is about designing everything inside the box as well as re-defining what, where and why the box is. Because of our involvement with spatial experiences we are leaders in the design of furniture, lighting and interior components. We are looking to address the needs of a design driven future, rich in meaning, use and function, built on a foundation of strong research, conclusion and development.
