Tuesday, 07/08/2008, 6:00–8:00pm Using Technology Creatively / The Digital Sketch Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place The traditional sketch in architecture manifests a frozen line of thought; the single expression of a two dimensional representation of an idea or concept. The fabrication of a physical, or three dimensional, model allows architecture to visualize the abstract thought. The Digital Sketch translates the architectural narrative of these tools and processes in creating the final design. studioMDA has used animated digital sketches to write a script, a digital story book, which becomes the basis for architectural design. Speakers: Speaker: Markus Dochantschi is the Principal founder of studioMDA in New York, was trained as an architect in Darmstadt, Germany, where he graduated with a master of architecture in 1995. He has working in Japan with Arata Isozaki in Tokyo in 1993 and with Tom Heneghan in 1994. From 1995 to 2002, he worked with Zaha Hadid in London, as a director, project director, project architect and designer for such projects as; Landesgartenschau Germany, Ski Jump Austria, Contemporary Arts Center Ohio, and the Vista Master plan Singapore. ;; Markus founded studioMDA in New York 2002. studioMDA’s approach is to creatively engage all parties at the very beginning, forming an inspirational collaboration in defining architecture. Using digital technology to work with a wide range of consultants - beyond the architect’s typical collaborative, studioMDA has teamed with artists, video artists, and choreographers, among others to define space generated by various artistic endeavors. Within this context, architectural syntax can become layered into micro and macro scales, balancing the smallest detail with the topographical/urban fabric. ;; Markus has been guest critic at the Architectural Association London, UK; Columbia University, Cooper Union, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, the ETH Zurich, Switzerland; the Hochschule für Angewandte Kunst Vienna, Austria, and has taught at the Yale School of Architecture as a “Critic in Architecture†with Zaha Hadid in 2004, 2005 and with Stephan Behnisch and Gerald Hines in 2006. ;; For more information on studioMDA, you may visit: www.studiomda.com Organized by: AIA Technology Committee Sponsored by: ABC Imaging Price: free CES LUs: 1.5, CES HSW: 1.5
