Fabrication : We envision a larger budget for the fabrication proposal - human scale proto-type with scalable and locally relevant fabrication methods. Last year, we were testing the waters with respect sourcing of material, enabling a mix of labor intensive and digital modes of procduction etc. Consequent from its sucess within a short period of 3 days and our endeavours in other workshops , we feel confident to tackle a design-build exercise at a larger scale. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/PA230638_900.JPG" border="0" width="900" height="675" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/PA230638_o.JPG" align="left" /> Pipeline : 3d , 2d and the whole world in between. Growth in the role of simulation in conceptual design and evaluation of building performance is coupled with need for architects to manage the dichotomy between high resolution geometries used in simulation and lower resolution, free-form manipulation friendly geometries. Further, downstream-architectural production relies on ever-increasingly precise geometric description of CAD geometries. The workshops will introduce participants to the nature conflicting goals and methods to deal with them. Understanding and pursuing the resolution of these will be fundamental towards applying such technologies within labour –intensive and emerging economies such as India. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/2d3d_900.jpg" border="0" width="900" height="593" width_o="910" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/2d3d_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_v2_4_diag1_.7_900.jpeg" border="0" width="900" height="675" width_o="1920" height_o="1440" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_v2_4_diag1_.7_o.jpeg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_diagrams__0005_Layer 1_900.jpg" border="0" width="900" height="267" width_o="1569" height_o="467" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_diagrams__0005_Layer 1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_diagrams__0001_Layer 5_900.jpg" border="0" width="900" height="426" width_o="1600" height_o="758" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_diagrams__0001_Layer 5_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_diagrams__0000_Layer 8_900.jpg" border="0" width="900" height="426" width_o="1600" height_o="758" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_diagrams__0000_Layer 8_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_diagrams__0002_Layer 4_900.jpg" border="0" width="900" height="426" width_o="1600" height_o="758" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_diagrams__0002_Layer 4_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_diagrams__0003_Layer 10_900.jpg" border="0" width="900" height="426" width_o="1600" height_o="758" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_diagrams__0003_Layer 10_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_diagrams__0004_Layer 9_900.jpg" border="0" width="900" height="426" width_o="1600" height_o="758" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_diagrams__0004_Layer 9_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_v2_4_diag.2_900.jpg" border="0" width="900" height="675" width_o="1920" height_o="1440" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_v2_4_diag.2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_v2_4_diag1_.1_900.jpg" border="0" width="900" height="675" width_o="1920" height_o="1440" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_v2_4_diag1_.1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_v2_4_diag1_.2_900.jpg" border="0" width="900" height="675" width_o="1920" height_o="1440" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_v2_4_diag1_.2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_v2_4_diag1_.3_900.jpeg" border="0" width="900" height="357" width_o="1920" height_o="762" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_v2_4_diag1_.3_o.jpeg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_v2_4_diag1_.4_900.jpeg" border="0" width="900" height="380" width_o="1920" height_o="812" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474526/site_v2_4_diag1_.4_o.jpeg" align="left" /> Comprehensive student resources : see item in index menu http://www.zha-code-education.org/Student-resources http://www.zha-code-education.org/following/zha-code-education.org/Student-resources Fri, 20 May 2011 14:04:10 +0000 AA visiting school , Bangalore 2011 1474245 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474245/student_resources_900.jpg" border="0" width="900" height="600" width_o="900" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1474245/student_resources_o.jpg" align="left" /> Overall , we aim for to have an informal yet intense environment conducive for rapid learning by doing , sharing , colloboration and exchange.

Abhishek | Bij Abhishek Bij, presently, is an Associate + Lead Designer at Design Plus, New Delhi (www.designplus.org.in), a Design Faculty at Sushant School of Architecture, New Delhi and Research Guide at CEPT University at Ahmadabad. Upon completion of his M.Arch from the Design Research Lab [DRL] at The Architectural Association (AA), London, Abhishek attempts to serve as a critic of the associative design systems that tap ubiquitous flow of dynamic urban information adjusting larger life processes. As part of his research, he is pursuing urbanGround, a model of urbanism where the figure operates as ground. The developments are reflected in pliant surfaces and its outcrops are reminiscent of the programmatic pressures. The idea of urbanGround originated at the AA_DRL_version11. (http://urbanground‐ab.blogspot.com/) Previously as an Associate Architect at SK Das Associated Architects, he worked on Masterplans for the extensions of the city of Mathura and the Delhi Metro Rail Corridors. His analytical views on the adopted Design Methodologies have been published in ‐ Omnipresent Models ‐ Architecture + Design Magazine, October 2009. ‐ Who is in Control? ‐ Architecture Time Space & People, March 2010. In 2010, Abhishek has presented for Greha and SSAA at Urban Voids and Platforms respectively, addressing Urban Design approaches using excerpts from Design Plus’ portfolio as case studies. http://www.zha-code-education.org/Relevance-India http://www.zha-code-education.org/following/zha-code-education.org/Relevance-India Thu, 19 May 2011 23:46:49 +0000 AA visiting school , Bangalore 2011 1471845 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1471845/RELEVANCE_900.jpg" border="0" width="900" height="600" width_o="900" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/17873/1471845/RELEVANCE_o.jpg" align="left" /> It is our belief that there is enormous potential and relevance to pursue a research-based teaching / learning practise that aims to integrate diverse pools of knowledge and forces that are shaping contemporary Indian architectural landscape : From emerging young talented office in India such as Serie , Sp-arc.net , studio symbiosis etc to the historic built traditions of dome and vault building in India and similar cultures and the legacy of similar pursuits in emerging , labour intensive economies by Felix Candela , Eladio Dieste et al including the enormous resource of built works of masters such as Antonio Gaudi , Frei otto, Sarinen , Heinz Isler etc in synergy with the youthful zest of India’s current demographic.
