Digital Med: International workshop of parametric design and d

The Second Edition of the International Workshop on Digital Fabrication and Parametric Design will take place from 24 to 31 July 2011 in the city of Vietri sul Mare, the gateway to the Amalfi Coast. The planning workshop, based on manufacturing processes of digital and parametric design software (Rhino / Grasshopper), will be held by the founders of Co-de-it Andrea Graziano and Alessio Erioli. Encouraged by the success of last year, the architects, Amleto Picerno Ceraso and Vangelis Moschonas, have been chosen to be the scientific officers for the second edition of this Workshop. The evocative theme entitled "Vertical Seaside, Amalfi Coast Workshop", aims to focus attention on the recovery of an area of the Amalfi coast, which currently suffers from degradation. This is a unique opportunity for participants to perform at Digital Med Workshop. The explorations of the project, guided through logical parametric-generaton, will be placed beside a digital fabricator. Through the use of software CAD / CAM interface, prototypes will be produced simultaneously. The best project executed during the workshop will be rewarded with a plaque of merit. Digital Med Workshop, sponsored by the Scientific Committee and directed by Prof. Pasquale Belfiore, president of the National Institute of Architecture In / Arch - Campania, aims to provide participants with a wealth of techniques, theories and methods using parametric design software and digital fabrication machines. The working groups will be followed during the entire course formation by two exceptional tutors: Andrea Graziano and Alessio Erioli, members of the Co-de-it and the leading exponents of digital fabrication and parametric architecture. They will be accompanied by a team of professionals and digital manufacturing experts from Spain, Greece and Italy. The event is open to all those who want to learn the knowledge and how to perform the most innovative design methodologies existing The Workshop also enjoys the Digital Med University participation 'of Thessaly in Greece, Faculty of Architecture in Naples, the Order of Architects Province of Salerno and the National Builders.
