Specialization: ADVANCED ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

'The Life of Buildings'

Presented here are the AAD's systematic inquiries on formal exploration through surface articulation and formation. The brief for this task was to pay attention to surface conditions, structuring events and spatial organization through generic, scaleless and dexterous models.

'Interlocking Modular Assemblies'

APD students attempted to construct a kinematic system made out of interlocking elements (Kinematic systems are defined here as bodies that function as a singular one). Structural soundness is achieved by each unit constraining one another in an interlaced fashion; somewhat redolent of stone arch construction, this system offers formal variance through reversible and re-configurable arrangements.

Here at SAC,  the first year students were asked to do an interactive exhibition with dynamic-smart materials. The experiments involved nichrome wire, shape memory alloy metals, Arduino boards, thermochromic ink and environmental conditions such as steam / humidity...

As a second post we have some of the final work we produced from our 3rd episode of the 'Physical Episodes in the Construction of Space' series. We had a small jury comprised by Johan Bettum, Oliver Tessman, Anton Savov and Christian Veddeler from UN Studio.     On the first week of...

Hi everyone, this is the first post of "Der Architectural Amanuensis". A blog entitled to document, through personal impressions, the line of research, theory, experiments, and lectures currently happening at the Städelschule Architecture Class. (I will also try to 'abuse' the platform...
