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.

    Deborah,

    The Fibonacci sequence is a good starting point. The diagram of the golden section on its own has no scale and is predictable in its growth pattern. You may wish to explore this characteristic further by testing variations of the Fibonacci sequence.

    To start off you may consider drawing the golden section with arcs inscribed in rectangles. Follow the ratio to grow the diagram. It will begin to create a spiral. Think of ways you can combine these patterns. What happens when curves begin to intersect each other? If you are able to use associative modeling software (i.e. grasshopper) consider setting up a definition which will allow you to grow these patters.

    Attempt to interpret the patterns at different scales. It will be helpful to step away from the literal representation of the diagram. You may explore its potential for example as surfaces, volumes and solids.

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