3.8.11 Berlin Summer Workshop admissions now open! — ACADEMIC

The Studio will stem from a Critical Approach to the existing space. To achieve this, abstract tools of analysis and design will be explored. This will provide the basis for a Site Construction to be studied through design. Form (as geography, psyche, etc.) rather than Program will become the main tool for understanding potential and main to design an intervention of the existing condition: aiming for an investigation of Form through form.

Traditional problem-solving strategy for architecture is avoided and opportunity-driven strategies are pursued. Second part of the Studio will develop a Strategy of Engagement for the constructed site, and an Architectural Probe to test and explore the strategy.
The Site Construction and the Strategy of Engagement will explore the notion of Fields of Conscience and Homeomorfic Equivalents as an alternative to conceptual thinking. It is proposed as a more effective alternative to articulate complexity of lanscapeurbanarchitecture design.
The Architectural Probe should present an archetypal situation of the exploration intended for the site, and at the same time, it should become a formal proposition beyond the logic and mechanisms of Modern Design. The Project should “Grow” from within the Site Construction, in a biological sense of the metaphor, even if the exercise is in itself a cultural transplant.

Architecture Forum AedesThe Architecture Forum Aedes has become one of the most successful institutions internationally for communicating architectural culture, urban design and similar topics. Aedes is associated world-wide with the great names of the architectural avant-garde and offers an excellent platform for new generations of architects in a global context. With its continuous work, Aedes has evolved into a unique cultural brand which enjoys an outstanding reputation.

Aedes strives to focus public attention on the cultures of building and architecture and to present and convey architectural visions, sustainable urban concepts, urban planning and landscape architecture. In more than 350 exhibitions and catalogs in the typical Aedes format, renowned architects and current Pritzker-Award winners such as Zaha Hadid, Thom Mayne, Daniel Libeskind, Frank Gehry or Rem Koolhaas presented their work long before acquiring world fame. In addition to 10 to 16 exhibitions per year, the dialog with outside experts and an interested public is supported by simultaneous symposia, series of lectures and discussions.
