    AA Visiting School Jordan 2016

    May 12, '16 3:43 AM EST

    AA Jordan is a ten-day computational architecture workshop as part of the Architectural Association' Visiting School Programmes.

    Hyperbolic Reefs

    Dates: July 16 to 25, 2016

    Location: Amman and Aqaba / Red Sea . Jordan

     

     

    AGENDA:

    At Jordan’s southern-most tip, the Gulf of Aqaba encapsulates a vast biodiversity of marine life including coral reefs and benthic organisms and habitats; many of which are endemic to the area.

    As part of our programme agenda on ‘Natural Extremities’ we continue to build-up on design-research into unique ecological phenomena in the region. In July 2016, the focus will be on distinct marine topologies and morphologies found in the Gulf of Aqaba; and their transfiguration into outcomes within architecture and design with a particular focus on computational design methods. 

    The ten-day programme will bring together a network of distinguished international faculty and guests to offer design-research units, specialist software tutorials and a guest-lecture series; the programme will be primarily based in Amman, and will include an exclusive visit to Aqaba were participants will study and document various marine habitats via snorkeling, photography and 3D-scanning.
