Formation Grasshopper / Atelier d’Architecture Paramétrique / #gh3D #Paris Septembre 2010

Depuis quelques mois, avec HDA , nous organisons des Ateliers de Formation d’Architecture Parametrique et Grasshopper à Paris, en collaboration avec Rhinoforyou.
Cet article est une copie de celui publié sur complexitys.

Comme nous avions déjà annoncé en Mai, et comme il est annoncé sur le site de Rhinoceros, HDA démarre une nouvelle activité en collaboration avec Rhinoforyou, et organise des formations Grasshopper intégrant un Atelier pratique d’Architecture Parametrique.
Un de ces cours de formation est prévu à Paris du 20 au 22 septembre. Nous souhaitons proposer les 3 formules suivantes en fonction des besoins des stagiaires:

– 3 jours ( Initiation+Atelier ) : du lundi 20 septembre au mercredi 22 septembre
– 2 jours ( Initiation ) : lundi 20 et mardi 21 septembre
– 1 jour ( Atelier ) : mercredi 22 septembre

Les 2 premières journées sont consacrées aux « fondamentaux » de Grasshopper avec en préambule une introduction au design et à l’architecture paramétrique et leurs impacts dans la conception, la création et la construction. La troisième journée sous forme d’atelier est dédiée à l’étude de cas concrets proposés par les stagiaires, qui, quelques jours avant la formation, pourront envoyer leurs projets par mail à info@rhinoforyou.com.

IMMAGINOTECA SOUVENIR#1 : Habiter et technologies nouvelles

(english text further down)

Con questo post ne inauguro tutta una serie, che ho chiamato SOUVENIR perché sono cose più o meno vecchie che ritiro fuori da posti vari. All’epoca non c’erano i blog, ora si’. Quindi eccolo qua, il souvenir numero 1, un lavoro che avevo fatto alla scuola della Villette mentre ero in Erasmus. Il corso si chiama Habiter et technologies nouvelles di Jean Magerand (più altri due simpaticissimi e bravissimi prof di cui non ho ritrovato il nome).

E’ un lavoro di teoria progettuale: si tratta di elaborare nuove forme d’uso e le architetture che ne conseguono a partire da uno studio iniziale completamente astratto è che ha qualcosa di delirante, almeno nel mio caso (mi chiamano farneticante non a caso). Ritrovando dopo anni queste slide la prima cosa che mi sono detto è stata: “Stavi proprio fuori” :_)
Io ero partito dallo studio del connessionismo.
Le immagini qui sotto fanno parte della prima parte del lavoro, quella appunta teorica, sulla metologia architettonica. Il resto era meno interessante…Il corso è stato veramente bello, e ricordo con simpatia quando uno dei professori mi ha detto “Votre problème est que vous croyez en des choses qui n’existent pas” (“il suo problema è che lei crede in cose che non esistono”). E io l’avevo preso come un complimento!

E anche interessante per me notare, con gli occhi di oggi, come le riflessioni che facevano all’epoca erano molto simili al mio modo, oggi, di pensare alla rivoluzione di Internet. E non sono il solo.

This theoretical work explores new ideas for landscape and architecture moving from a preliminary totally abstract study. Starting from the topical issue of connectivity, first step consist of an intellectual speculation on this concept. Connectionism is an approach in the fields of artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology and neuroscience. It models mental and behavioral phenomenas as the emergent process of interconnected networks of simple units.
Afterward, the study of vibrating systems – typical of connectionism – and the concept of stability are used to model new usages and new representation in architectural design. The result is an approach based on mixed and undefined spaces as originating flexible and open architectural systems.






LONDON . BREATH . S

Here you are our last competition (me with Massimo Lombardi), a proposal for an adaptable floating gallery in the river Thames.
Our project talk about the climate change and polar bears of the North Pole.

Winning projects can be found at www.arquitectum.com

This is our presentation of the project:

Scientists think that ice will probably disappear from the North Pole for the first time by this summer 2008 due to the global warming. We would like to express our solidarity with the hungry – and probably angry – polar bears that will soon reach our lands (?) trying to find some dry land and food. What about architecture? The earth and the city – as the bears – need ideas being able to cope with ecological issue and to establish a radically new relation between architecture and nature. This is why we’ve imagined for “London 2008″ a breathing and living architectural objet, in order to give a strong iconic value to the gallery that will contain, produce and distribute ideas about the future of the cities. Living beings basically differ from the unanimated ones in their ability to create relations and interact with the environment they’re living in. Like a weird animal generated by the River Thames, our proposal consist of a complex organism formed by different elements (skin, eyes, arms, heart, lungs, etc.) interacting with forces of nature to establish a mature and respectful – LOVing – relationship with environment and nature. The main roof, floating like a jellyfish, is composed by a translucent, elastic and flexible skin. This surface uses a structural system made of semi-rigid fiberglass elements, something like camping tent poles. This allows the roof to lightly move and change his shape depending on the wind solicitations, like a soap bubble when we blow on it: this is how the gallery breathes. On top, a random array of helium solar balloons provides for solar energy supply during the day and become a funny set of lamps at night standing as a signal in the skyline of London. When the gallery moves along the river, solar balloons can be retracted to stay on the jellyfish roof. Exhibition spaces and observation area are imagined like piston boxes, with a platform that lifts using the energy of the river coming from some water turbines. The movement of these iron lungs creates an added vertical promenade for visitors, which experience the sensation of floating on a living architecture.
