2015 AA SUMMER DLAB :: RED application deadline is July 20!

If you haven't already done so, you can still apply for the 2015 AA Summer DLAB :: RED workshop. The summer-long course emphasizes the integration of algorithmic / generative design methodologies and large scale digital fabrication tools. Summer DLAB allows participants to explore natural formation processes and interpret them as innovative architectonic spaces.

Continuing its yearly color-based agenda with RED, the 2015 Summer DLAB will investigate the process of decay in nature. The two-phase workshop runs from July 27 until August 14.

The application deadline is July 20! All current architecture and design students are welcome to apply.

More info below.

"Summer DLAB, RED, will explore the phenomenon of decay in nature. By investigating the process of decay across various scales in natural organisms, we will formulate rules of generating decomposition as our design research area. These rules will then evolve into design strategies for the creation and fabrication of a large-scale prototype. The design and fabrication process will be informed by the use of robotic fabrication techniques in AA’s Hooke Park premises.  

Starting July 27 through August 14, the three-week long program is formulated as a two-phase process. During the two-week initial phase, participants benefit from the unique atmosphere and facilities of AA’s London home. The second phase, lasting for a week, shifts to AA’s woodland site in Hooke Park and revolves around the fabrication and assembly of a full-scale architectural intervention which unifies the design goals of Summer DLAB."
