AA上海访校
AA上海研习班 2012
题目︰进化型都市
城市/国家/洲︰上海/中国/亚洲
日期︰2012 年7月20-28日
地点︰香港大学建筑学院上海教学中心
课程主任︰Tom Verebes
导师︰Kristof Crolla, Wendy Fok, Daniel Gillen, Soomeen Hahm, Immanuel Koh, Nathan Melenbrink, Wang Xin, Xu Feng, Zhang Shuojiong
第六次的AA上海暑期访校将于香港大学建筑学院上海教学中心举行。在为期九天以设计为中心的密集式设计工作坊中，探讨如何运用前沿的数字化运算设计技术，进行实验性建筑和城市规划设计。世界上增长最迅速的城市之一 — 上海，是个典型的二十一世纪的城市，是次访校的主题关于这座大都市所面临的挑战︰永无止境的城市发展需求，土地的扩张和城市密度的增长。我们将尝通过一系列具时间性、动态、复杂的增长和变化模型来测试把前端计算机技术利用在进化型建筑设计和城市规划的的可能性。处理城市发展和环境变化相互矛盾的动态力量是学员的设计方案中的重要元素。
学员将会在AA教师和毕业生、香港大学建筑学院和聘请教师的带领下进行实验性设计。课程分为两部份︰一系列教授参数化设计数字技术的课堂将在首三天进行，紧凑的课程目的是让学员在短时间内学习生成，算法和参数化设计方法，为下一阶段的设计实践打好基础；研习班的第二部份中，学员能够尝试基于编码、动态模拟技术和数控生产技术的新设计方法设计一个能适应未来变化的城市进化模型。
设计教程以外，研习班还安排了与运算化设计和当代城市建筑相关的讲座和座谈会。

AA Shanghai Visiting School
AA Shanghai 2012
Title Evolutionary Urbanism
City, Country, Continent Shanghai, China, Asia
Dates 20-28 July 2012
Location/School The University of Hong Kong Shanghai Study Centre, Shanghai
Directed by Tom Verebes
Tutors: Kristof Crolla, Wendy Fok, Daniel Gillen, Soomeen Hahm, Immanuel Koh, Nathan Melenbrink, Wang Xin, Xu Feng, Zhang Shuojiong
This sixth consecutive AA Shanghai Summer School will be hosted at the University of Hong Kong Faculty of Architecture Shanghai Study Centre. As an intensive nine-day studio-based course, we will investigate new computational design approaches in architecture and urbanism, within the context of Shanghai, one of the world’s most rapidly growing, emblematic twenty-first century cities. This year’s topic for the summer school concerns the challenges facing the megalopolis of Shanghai as it feeds the insatiable demand for land for urban growth, expansion and densification. We will experiment with technologies associated to evolutionary approaches to urbanism and architecture, through a variety of time-based, dynamic models of complex growth and change. Design proposals will negotiate the paradoxical dynamic forces of urban development and environmental change.
The course will be taught by tutors from the AA School, HKU, and other visitors, in a two-part programme. Over the first three days of the workshop, computational design systems will be introduced in a series of intensive ‘tooling-up’ sessions as the basis for investigating associative design concepts and methodologies. The aim of these design exercises is to introduce expertise in generative, algorithmic and parametric design approaches. In a second stage of the workshop, students will develop design proposals responding to a shared studio brief focusing on developing new models of urban evolution. Students will apply code-based modelling, simulation and fabrication techniques, towards multiple, variable and recursive prototypes for a range of urban systems, driven by scenarios of future incremental, adaptive growth and change.
Alongside studio-based design tutorials, seminars, and a series of lectures, a public symposium will address contemporary topics related to the theme of the workshop.
Eligibility
The workshop is open to current architecture, urban planning, landscape and design students, phd candidates and young professionals. All applicants should submit a CV and portfolio. The following software applications are recommended but are not required: Rhino (with Grasshopper and other plug-ins), Rhinoscript, Maya, Processing, Autocad, Adobe Creative Suite.
Applications
The deadline for applications is 13 July 2012. Application forms and additional information are available online at: www.aaschool.ac.uk/shanghai and applications can be submitted to: visitingschool@aaschool.ac.uk. All participants travelling from abroad are responsible for securing any visa required for entry to China, and are advised to contact their home embassy early. After payment of fees, the AA School can provide a letter confirming participation in the workshop.
Accommodation & Costs
The AA Visiting School requires a fee of £695 GBP per participant, which includes a £50 GBP Visiting Student Membership, payable online at:
www.aaschool.ac.uk/shanghai . Fees do not include flights or accommodation, but accommodation options can be advised.
