The Olympic Park Masterplan

AIM: Diversity/Interrelatedness: The study of the effects of large scale associative and unified systems and explore the positive qualities and effects of disjunction, erasure and sparse proliferation within these continuous fields.

A medium scale master plan or a "building mass" provides a fertile ground for associative design either of buildings or in a smaller scale of building components and elements. The location and specific brief can be decided at a later stage.

Moving now beyond the notion of the single building object -ie the Olympic Stadium, the aim of the spring 2009 studio is to research and invent ways to formally control the complex set of issues that constitute the organization of the Olympic Masterplan. We seek to find credible, meaningful and performing organization that employs a combination of methods under an algorithmic denomination to control and proliferate the necessary spatial condition.
This semester long study will dive into methods, techniques and experimental research on digital and algorithmic design systems, with a particular focus on the investigation of hybrid and interrelated systems of integration.
The aim should be to develop particular skill sets that will be enhanced by digital computational tools such as parametric modelling. The study of research methods and perhaps methods of collaboration between students or groups of students in multilateral fashion and seek to find the potential advantages from these multiple-input set-ups.

The students will be introduced to means of producing patterns and 3D forms and be encouraged to explore urban conditions of varying densities using contemporary design tools.
Scripting workshops and knowledge of algorithmic design techniques shall be required for the course

CHRISTOS PASSAS,DESIGN STUDIO PROFESSOR

Starting from the notion of the single surface project, the aim of the fall 2008 studio is to examine formal issues of surface modulations using methods and tools that are inherent to algorithmic design.

    Diana,

    The cellular automata is another simulation tool, that behaves although it might appear at times random it follows parameters set forth at the beginning. Because of this, it is very limited in control, specifically local control over the result.

    In your first presentation you showed several examples of tilling. The concept of tilling can be pursued with a little bit more rigor but still include the logic that you describe in your 'thesis' statement.

    If you feel that there is not enough time left until the presentation to experiment with grasshopper you may consider tracing over the results from the cellular automata applet, that you find interesting, and begin combining pieces of these patters. Consider making a collage of different scenarios generated by the cellular automata. Consider factors such as scale, color, geometry, etc.

    The intent of this workshop is to expand our thinking. How you interpret the pattern is entirely up to you, but you must be able to provide justification.

    Don't forget that recursion is not supported by grasshopper.

    Think about how do you define the edges of the patterns? Is there a boundary?
