SUMMARY:shopfront fab São Paulo - Architectural Association Visiting 
 School São Paulo Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Barra Funda district of São Paulo was once characteri
 sed by a vibrant mix of small industrial, commercial and residential p
 rogrammes, but over time, as economic policies have favoured agglomera
 ted, larger production industries, numerous companies have abandoned t
 he area and moved to the periphery or even abroad. In response to this
  decentralisation, the workshop proposes the creation of new types of 
 smaller industries to produce a mix of both consumption and production
  within the centre, manifested through micro-manufacturing interventio
 ns that can co-exist alongside retail and housing. At its core will be
  the idea that computational design and digital fabrication can be use
 d to help create these new micro-industries, which in turn will help e
 mpower local craftsman to produce and sell directly to consumers throu
 gh micro-manufacturing, located in small urban workshops implanted wit
 hin the centre district.\nThe workshop will tap into the energy of the
  emergent gallery scene of Barra Funda together with local initiatives
  that are employing computational technology to introduce a new cultur
 al and economic impetus for the area. Participants will learn to use t
 hese technologies – notably the CAD programmes Rhino and Grasshopper
 , and the use of laser-cutters, rapid-prototype machines and CNC route
 rs and mills – to produce 1:1-scale interventions within the region,
  working with both AA Tutors and assistants and local architects.\nThe
  workshop itself will be a part of the 2012 International Festival of 
 Electronic Language (FILE), an exhibition of interactive digital art, 
 and will suggest ways in which these electronic technologies can be im
 ported out of the gallery and into a new neighbourhood.cooperative In 
 this we will work directly with local Barra Funda manufacturers which 
 will include using  resin as a finish and in digitally fabricated thr
 ough milled moulds. The workshop will also collaborate with local DIY 
 rapid prototype machine manufacturers, whose goal of disseminating a h
 igh-tech yet low-cost and small-scale fabrication system will hopefull
 y further promote this new micro-industrial movement.\nThe workshop is
  open to architecture and design students and professionals worldwide.
