AA SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE - Lectures Online. Architecture finds itself coping with new social and cultural complexities that radically re-factor and challenge its response through latent and often unknown parameters. Distinctions between information, matter and life reveal intricacies in the speculative realties of a much deeper synthesis. This symposium will open a discussion on the role of generative and behavioural approaches within the conception and production of contemporary architecture and urbanism. The research conducted under AADRL’s Adaptive Ecologies agenda investigates the role of computation within correlated organisational models that operate between unit/cluster/collective scales. By attempting to build a framework that interrogates organisational models which evolve through computation, this continuing research and experimentation challenges and tests today’s conventional models of planning.

Schedule 11:00 General Introduction by Theodore Spyropoulos A Case Study Approach by Ryan Dillon 1.30 Lunch 2.15 John Frazer. Marcelo Spina. P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S Emerging Voices 2011 Recorded: March 30, 2011 Running Time: 28:38 Marcelo Spina and Georgina Huljich are principals of the office, P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S, founded in Los Angeles in 1999. In this excerpt from the presentation, Marcelo Spina discusses the Prism Contemporary Art, West Hollywood, CA; FYF Residence and Jujuy Redux, both in Rosario, Argentina. The research- and collaborative-based approach of the practice seeks to move between digital and material expressions. P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S describes its form-making, as “Driven by digital techniques and advanced computation, this is not just an abstract formalism, but a formalism deeply embedded in the physics of materials and tectonics, and the potential of construction methods and new fabrication processes.” Marcelo Spina received a Bachelor of Architecture from the National University of Rosario in Argentina and a Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University.

Guest speakers: Branko Kolarevic (University of Calgary), Mark Sarkisian (Director of Structural Engineering, SOM San Francisco), Greg Lynn (Angewandte Wien & UCLA A+UD), Axel Kilian (Princeton University), Luca Dellatore (ARUP), Hod Lipson (Cornell University) Translate the Intangible, a symposium organised by the AA PhD in Architectural Design students as part of the AA Public Programme, addresses the challenges of communicating dynamic aspects of contemporary design methodologies through static mediums such as text and images.

As current design-oriented fields have amplified the implementation of computational and generative tools for various motives, the process of documentation and representation of the design process has become more difficult to express. The symposium will also serve as a platform for the PhD in Architectural Design students to present and discuss their individual research with the invited speakers.

BARKOW, Frank and Guests An Atlas of Fabrication Series: Date: 18/3/2009 Time: 00:00:00 Venue: Running time: 75 mins Frank Barkow is joined by Chris Bangle, Fabio Gramazi, Michael Meredith and Brett Steele for a series of presentations focusing on architectural experimentation and material fabrication.

This group is at the forefront of a generational shift in architectural and design experimentation based upon sustained forms of material research, digital fabrication and machinic assembly. The event coincides with Barkow Leibingers AA exhibition, An Atlas of Fabrication.Frank Barkow has recently taught at the University of Wisconsin, in conjunction with the practice winning the 2007 Marcus Prize for Architecture.

AA SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE - Lectures Online. BURRY, Jane The 'New Mathematics' of Architecture Series: Book Launch/Evening Lecture Date: 29/10/2010 Time: 19:00:00 Venue: Lecture Hall Running time: 67 mins We have reached the end of a decade and a half in which digital computation has given architects new creative opportunities to access the geometrical space opened up by post-17th-century mathematicians. The resulting new wave of interest in the relationship of mathematics to space-making has been aesthetically driven, and yet its expression has transcended the metaphorical.

Jane Burry is an architect and Senior Research Fellow in the Spatial Information Architecture Laboratory (SIAL) at RMIT University, Melbourne and visiting Senior Research Fellow at QUT, Brisbane.

SCHUMACHER, Patrik The Autopoiesis of Architecture Series: Date: 7/12/2010 Time: 17:30:00 Venue: South Jury Room/Lecture Hall Running time: 142 mins Patrik Schumacher will give a lecture to coincide with the launch of his new publication, The Autopoiesis of Architecture vol 1: A New Framework for Architecture 5.30 Book Sales in South Jury Room6.00 Lecture in Lecture Hall7.15 Drinks and further Book Sales in South Jury Room In recent years, architectural theory has remained tentative and even sceptical.

Schumacher’s bold new two volume treatise is meant to change all this, by providing a wholly new approach and framework for thinking about architecture. During the lecture Schumacher will describe how his new unified theoretical system for the discipline accommodates further theories, ranging from architecture’s social function to the avant-garde, aesthetics, media and process theory.

We were extremely interested in this digital city model based on ICT (information and communication technology), with the idea of a city where what matters is knowledge, added value and patents, in short, where the objective is for your architecture to be in sync with your own values. This project transpired after VillaNurbs, Spek, Aviario Zoo Marino Bcn, Media-House, Forest, and other projects that involved concepts such as: digital manufacturing processes, ubiquitous technology, cloud computing, off grid, self sufficient energy, distributed intelligence … 01__________22@ is an experimental district with a powerful, distributed and accessible, energy load. Part of the Districlima network, where new business values are intangible. Media-ICT’s architecture is an environment where SOFT becomes HARD.

EmTech Keynote Lecture: KALOREVIC, Branko Architecture of Change Series: EmTech Keynote Lecture Date: 18/1/2012 Time: 18:00:00 Venue: Lecture Hall Running time: 78 mins This lecture surveys essential concepts and significant past and current projects that deal with interactive, responsive environments, ie buildings that can change their configuration, appearance, and environmental conditions in response to patterns of occupation and context (and in return can shape those too).

The principal argument is that change in architecture is far from being adequately addressed or explored theoretically, experimentally or phenomenologically. Branko Kolarevic teaches architecture at the University of Calgary, where he also holds the Chair in Integrated Design and co-directs the Laboratory for Integrative Design (LID).
