CITC I – Lars Lerup Prize – Dripping link

Codes in the clouds – Dessau international graduate architecture school DRIPPING LINK – by Piangpim Thongsawang and Marzieh Gholami – 2011 This project is an investigation about the behaviour and principle of two natural material: Tissue and resin. Tissue can easily change into different shapes. It is made of wood fibers and composed of cellulose molecules. These individual fibers expand …

Codes in the clouds II – growth processes

TOPIC “Beyond the one-architect-one-machine dialogue, the milieu of adaptable machines must adapt further contacts with the real world. It must receive direct sensory information. It must see, hear, and read, and it must take walks in the garden.” N. Negroponte, 1970 C21 increasingly adopts physics, neuro-sciences, biology; architecture faces a paradigm shift in the 3rd industrial revolution – the age …

Studio X

STUDIO X – Algorithmic experimentations Students: Cosmos Bedzra, Tudor Cosmatu, Anastasia Globa, Alexander Kalachev, Claudia Maria Melendez Rivera, Xinyu Shi, Da Wan Christos Passas, Yevgeniy Beylkin and Liss Werner The studio examines unified and continuous compositions as a starting point but concentrates on diversified compositions that propose radical shifts, ruptures and discontinuities within the set framework; we are looking to …

Codes in the clouds I – Material Behavior

Objective of studio is to arrive at a structurally-informed prototype for architecture, based on an understanding of the inherent, logical properties of material behavior and their corresponding collective assembly logic derived from its immediate environmental influences. The studio focuses on exploring the rule-based organizational system of material using advanced digital tools and computational ways of thinking and making. Students are …
