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.

    Alexandra,

    The first pattern shows an array of a component on the grid, the component appears to be rotated incrementally on its center. In this example you are hinting at 'blending' but so far the experiment is constrained within the orthogonal grid. You may consider rotating the components around a shared axis to achieve more dynamism, as well as adding another parameter to the definition such as scale.

    The second example shows a point grid that you are using as a lattice for aggregating components. Again, it is worth thinking about what is the criteria that defines the grid. By aggregating the elements are you bringing more order to already ordered grid? Or does the act of aggregating implies a more incidental clustering?

    In both examples you are very consistent in showing the progression of the component logic. Consider taking these qualities of order and rhythm to the next level where it might not be so easily visible, where the space between the components or the overlapping of the components becomes blurred with the component itself.

    How do you define the edges? Is there a boundary?
