ARCHITECTURAL RESPONSE / time / technology / tectonics
JUNE 2-6 2010 Boulder / Denver Digital Design & Fabrication Workshop hosted by RNL Design – downtown Denver
*arch response workshop will be 4 sessions over 5 days with 1 optional intro to Rhino session, times TBA
Its clear in 2010 perhaps more than ever that significant shifts in economies and culture can occur extremely rapidly; climatic crisis can devastate enormous populations in seconds. Our architectural response is critical. The architectural recourse of one crisis needs to be more than a temporary fix as it is often the only opportunity to implement further preventative measures for a future occurrence. This workshop exposes digitally-driven technologies aiding the architectural realm in developing design intentions in accordance with environmental, material & production parameters. Workshop explores how to implement TODAY the utilization of advancing technologies whether a student or design professional. Parametric approaches are not limited to the software one uses but more importantly a shift in thinking of multi-phase aspects of an architectural project. Join us in forwarding the relevance of these practices to very real-world scenarios. LaN asks you to abandon representation modes of design and practice LIVE. ____ (img credits: Harshad Sharma)
