ThinkParametric: Learn parametric design, architectural design. Deep Space. Deep Space aims to identify, visualize and explore spatial information that exists when encapsulated within a context. The emphasis is on transforming data into information to support informed decision-making during the design process. The Deep Space Cluster Champions will provide a Revit+Dynamo framework for voxel based spatial analysis, resulting in contextual-datasets for algorithmic exploration and computational form finding. The algorithms, such as proximity or sky-factor, as well as the context model of Hong Kong will be provided.

Each participant is encouraged to further develop the provided algorithms or develop their own algorithms, using C#/Python with the help of our champions. The goal is to apply multiple analysis algorithms simultaneously on the context model to enable a practice-near multi-criteria evaluation, before applying form-finding within the selected dataset.

Pathogens and host // [infectious agent] There is a disturbing theory about the human species that has begun to take on an alarming level of reality.

It seems that the behavior of the human race is displaying uncanny parallels to the behavior of pathogenic, or disease-causing, organisms. When viewed at the next quantum level of perspective, from which the Earth is seen as an organism and humans are seen as microorganisms, the human species looks like a menace to the planet. In fact, the human race is looking a lot like a disease — comprised of organisms excessively multiplying, mindlessly consuming, and generating waste with little regard for the health and well being of its host — planet Earth.

In the case of pathogenic organisms that kill their host, the behavior is predictable: multiply without regard for any limits to growth, consume senselessly and excrete levels of waste that grievously harm the host. Humanure // [virulence cure] Hyperbody. AA Summer DLAB. CAAD. Blog | Prof. Ludger Hovestadt, Chair for Computer Aided Architectural Design, Departement for Architecture, ETH Zürich. Courses. The Search for Vernacular Architecture of Asia, Part 1. If you are unable to access Youtube, the introductory video is available via XuetangX. This is a comprehensive, dialogue-based course providing an in-depth exploration of the vernacular concept and its applications to the culture and built environments of the past, present, and future. Designed to promote discussion and dialogue while contributing to the discourse surrounding the concept of the vernacular, this course will challenge the perception of tradition and stimulate a deeper analysis of one’s local environment.

Fundamentally, vernacular implies a distinct local expression in building or language, and raises questions of identity, tradition, and transmission. This course presents a broad understanding of the vernacular with emphasis on the built heritage of Asia, including topics such as indigenous building materials, the ideas of use and tradition and the vernacular landscape.
