Description:

MAG LAB focuses on optimizing complex geometry with parametric design tools in conjunction with economic efficiency, structural performance, environmental impact, and programmatic progress. MAG LAB aims to create adaptable spatial organization by integrating architecture, landscape, infrastructure and urban planning, of which the formal consequences are generated through a variety of information in order to accommodate more possibilities of future.

Creative Art And Architecture / MAG LAB Workshop

Posted in Design - Design by MAGLAB

Arab International University – Faculty of Architecture, Design and fabrication Workshop - Damascus – Syria The aim of the workshop was to give an introductory understanding of key concepts such as topology, information (in morphogenesis), redundancy and pluripotency as a mean to undisclose performative potential through morphology, from biological and digital development to architectural design, within a general framework of an ecology of design ”ECO Form”.

The new edition of the Creative Art that started in July 2011 is already showing how the students are reaching in each new workshop better and developed results, understanding deeply how this experience is a Simulation of their future as professionals.

Even this edition is shorter than the previous (5 Intensive days) the work proceeds fast and all the groups show that they understood the logic of the Creative Art workshop, exploring processes of the Interdisciplinary practice in contemporary architectural design.

This workshop was an exploration of different ways of representing ideas through art concepts applied by an intensive search for spatial conditions in order to configure architectural spaces Aim of this workshop was to give students insights on different ways to generate and represent ideas combining exercises based on art examples and nature processes as paradigms The goal was achieved through theoretical classes , personal research and workshops .

At the end of 5 days the students presented the final work of the workshop to a jury.

The progress made by the students over the 5 days period was quite outstanding.

We all did the last weightlifting together and finished this workshop with excellence, elegance, beauty and performance.
