MAGLAB WORKSHOP "XOtech Emotion" / Ain Shams University2013

Posted in University / Research - MAGLAB by * FORMAKERS

Egypt on February 02 until February 10 2013. XOTech EMotion is a cutting-edge Workshop in Academia worldwide focusing exclusively on novel approaches to the [Architecture] emerging practice. XOTech is an exploration around responsive skin design as an expression of a multiplicity of conditions (Environment, structural, material, formal, cultural, spatial) and the mean by which multiple issues (such as modulation, differentiation and cultural expression) are deployed. The workshop asks how material behavior can be introduced into architectural design and which consequences this has on design. The workshop focuses on the behavior of material in larger arrays and how one can design and steer these. The workshop is structured in theoretical lectures, seminars on necessary digital tools and practical work during, which students will explore around and apply the concepts and strategies explained throughout physical responsive real scale prototype.The main objective is to extract the information from the research and experiments on the materials behavior and kinetic systems as input in order to generate a new 3D responsive Skin as output.

Aim of the workshop is to focus on the performative skin conditions in nature, environment and architecture as a synthetic expression of elegance, performative efficiency, modulation through differentiation and cultural values. The Egypt Choice and Experience:The workshop will provide foreign participants a chance to discover the mother of the world with a professional vision through its architecture and culture. It will provide a unique opportunity to visit the most famous architectural buildings, exhibitions, studios and more. At the end of the workshop each participant will receive an official certificate of participation signed officially by Ain Shams University / Faculty of Architecture and the related workshop collaborators universities and associations.
