AA Jordan is a ten-day computational architecture workshop as part of the Architectural Association' Visiting School Programmes. We are accepting applications from young professional and students from all around the world; who are interested in learning cutting edge software and methods for computational design in architecture. Our research stems from natural phenomena that exits in unique ecological sites such as the Dead Sea. Dates: July 23 to August 2, 2015 Location: Dead Sea and Amman, Jordan AGENDA: The Dead Sea is a hyper-saline lake which exists at 427 metres below sea level and features a one-of-a-kind extreme ecological condition. It is the lowest point on earth and exhibits a diverse platform for research into the Ecomorphology of crystalline formations. In 2015, the AA in Jordan continues in its third-cycle to build up on research into naturally occurring phenomena in the region, and how these phenomena can inform design methodologies which re-think existing practices. The programme will focus on crystalline formations and their potential development at a variety of architectural and urban scales through the use of cutting-edge computational design technology. The programme will bring together a network of distinguished faculty and guests to offer design-research units, specialist tooling seminars and a guest-lecture series; which are based in Amman with exclusive visits to the Jordan Valley and Dead Sea. PROMINENT FEATURES OF THE WORKSHOP/ SKILLS DEVELOPED: -Professional awareness of computational design methodologies -Exclusive Site Visit to the Dead Sea -International team consisting of emerging designers and educators -Lecture Series including world renown guests -Specialist seminars in cutting edge technical software (Including: Rhino Python Scripting, Grasshopper, Processing, Autodesk Maya) -International networking and exposure opportunities -Access to advanced digital fabrication facilities -Public Exhibition of Workshop Outcomes -Certificate issued from the AA upon completion PROGRAMME DIRECTOR: Kais Al-Rawi PROGRAMME FACULTY: Julia Koerner Vincenzo Reale Filippo Nassetti Kais Al-Rawi Marie Boltenstern Mohamad Makkouk APPLY: Limited Spaces are Available, Application form at: https://www.aaschool.ac.uk/STUDY/ONLINEAPPLICATION/visitingApplication.php?schoolID=288 The AA requires a fee of 845GBP.
