Seminar + Workshop “Design through Systems Thinking Informed by Materials” . 01

Posted on 11/21/2012 | 2 comments

I gave a seminar and run a workshop* titled “Design through Systems Thinking Informed by Materials” at the Istanbul Technical University, Graduate School of Architecture as a part of the course Computer Application in Architecture.

AIM:

The proposed approach aims to create a method based on systems thinking by referencing nature in order to generate a funda­mental base of computational design. Students should explore design through material systems in a holistic manner. By integrating systems thinking to the design process, in which the rules and relationship among system elements are defined at the beginning of the design process, most efficient solutions are generated by the system itself. Students are asked to test this method on a façade solution.

 I was kindly invited to give a seminar as a part of the course called Contemporary Building Materials (MIM 328) at the Istanbul Technical University, Department of Architecture. ‘Material based Design Computing’  seminar is based on interpretation of my past work & current work by ParaMaterial in perspectives to the historical and contemporary framework of architectural design, as well as design computing.
