SUMMARY:HIGH-LOW : AA São Paulo Design Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Workshops: Grasshopper, Geco, Kangaroo, Geometry Gym, Proc
 essing and Python by Robert Stuart Smith from Kokkugia and DRL, Thiago
  Mundim, Yoojin Kim and Arya Safavi from Amanda Levete Architects and 
 Arthur Mani.\n \nThe aim of this programme is to rehabilitate margina
 lised environments, populations and materials through the use of innov
 ative computational ecological design and digital fabrication processe
 s. With these tactics we will define a new generation of digital desig
 n that employs both high-tech and low-tech strategies. Parametric desi
 gn generation and digital fabrication techniques will be used to compu
 tationally redesign low-tech building strategies, mixing high-tech exp
 ertise with local labor knowledge. Taking place in the Escola São Pau
 lo, a cultural centre for art, fashion and design, the objective of th
 e workshop is to transform conventional sustainable design strategies 
 so as to bring ecological design a new aesthetic and social agenda.\n 
 Thus, this high-tech/low tech strategy will focus on environmental med
 iation, using high-tech environmental computational simulation softwar
 e and environmental parametric design to design low-tech environmental
  mediation systems. The workshop will employ agent-controlled scripts 
 to calibrate devices to respond to the forces of the sun and wind. Env
 ironmental simulation, both within and outside the parametric modeling
  interface will give instant performance feedback, to further streamli
 ne the design process. To support this aim, the workshop will collabor
 ate with the Environmental Engineering Design Agency, B.D.S.P. The goa
 l is to create spatial organizations for various social programs, sett
 ings and building types, using different types of devices, such as nat
 ural-light reflecting light-shelves, natural-ventilation systems, and 
 solar-shading brise-soleils to alleviate the effects of the harsh urba
 n heat-island.\n Open to design professionals and students from all ov
 er the world, the studio-based workshop will include instruction in pa
 rametric modeling, environmental simulation software, Rhino Grasshoppe
 r, GECO, and Galapagos, (to integrate parametric environmental optimiz
 ation and simulation), as well as digital fabrication processes using 
 laser cutter, C.N.C. milling and rapid-prototyping machines, sponsored
  by DS4 and SEACAM, all of which will be used to produce design propos
 als physical models and one-to-one scale prototypes. The course will b
 e taught by tutors and assistants from the AA School and B.D.S.P. The 
 Visiting School will also feature semi–nars and lectures by both Bra
 zilian and international architects, artists, urban planners and other
  specialists, and be featured in international and national media incl
 uding the Arquitetura e Urbanismo (AU) magazine and digital media.\n
