MAG LAB, Syria Spain Italy France UAE (Materials-‐ Advanced Architecture Generative Laboratory) as a part of Maksoud Architectural Group, authorized reseller and authorized training center of McNeel in Syria and the Middle East through its affiliate offices, is pleased to announce
IN 2 SPACE International workshop Paris -‐ France on February 3rd 2012.
The Paris Choice and Experience: The workshop will provide participants a chance to discover this beautiful city with a professional vision through its architecture and culture. It will provide a unique opportunity to visit the most famous architectural studios. The Paris experience will be a chance to collaborate with software experts through the world of digital parametric design and architecture. From the program kick-‐off, the multicultural Parisian framework facilitates; live learning through site visits to some of the most important Architects, universities and designers. Which will enhance our experience and offer a highly stimulating cultural environment that provides a broad yet intensive introduction to a palette of fashion, design, Art and Architecture (analytical and theoretical-‐ backbones). At the end of the workshop each participant will receive an official certificate of participation signed officially by the related workshop collaborators universities and associations. The Workshop applications are online and close on 01 December 2011.
The workshop will be over a period of 12 days full time work. It will be a journey in territories where natural processes of morphogenesis tamper in the cultural ecosystem; exploring different ways of generating and representing ideas (as well as the intricate interplay between these two creative conditions). Which is implemented through art concepts applied as an intensive search for spatial conditions, in order to configure architectonical spaces. The workshop explores advanced techniques in modeling to help participants better understand how to apply modeling tools in practical situations.
The Digital/Physical design process / Lab work The LAB work will be divided as follow:
Part 01_ Theory and Conception This part of the workshop will be alimented by visits, conferences, brain storming and dialogues; followed by the translation of the accumulated ideas and information through communication tools such as sketching, 3D modeling, photos, and videos.
Part 02_ Applying Infos After conception work, in this part, a general meeting will be organized to discuss ideas for project election. Participants will be divided in groups with professors to work on the selected project; the work division will give the participants the chance to try different methods, tools and techniques.
The project's development at this stage of work will be mainly using digital tools and material selection experiments; in order to develop the structural issues and esthetical aspects. The numeric processes of the spatial organization and form design will be accompanied by a series of lectures and researches given; which are mostly about generative and evolutionary design strategies in architecture. All needed techniques and instruments will be supplied during the workshop journey. The main digital tools which we are going to use are/or linked to: Rhino 4.0 and scripting -‐ Grasshopper for Rhino, 3D Studio Max and scripting, Autodesk Ecotect Analysis, Maya.
Part 03_ Prototype Construction After finding form through material behavior testing, the first real scale structural performance test on the chosen site will be carried out in this third and final part of the workshop. A detailed storyboard of the model behavior observation will be created before moving to the esthetic side of the
The Physical Investigation Labs focus on the study of physical performance and manufacturing of novel spatial repertoires. The digital fabrication methods and the integration of DATA processing in production logic will be taken as a critical input for the design process. Therefore, physical prototyping will become an important instrument for design understanding through its improvement from the outset and along all development phases. By gaining advantage through the use of parametric tool features in pervious phases; participants will generate and represent the project's materials. Which is carried out through form generation and management leading up to real scale models, renders and animation. To be presented next to the installation on the final day as a process exhibition.
Aim of the workshop will be:
A. To design and build an open-‐air canopy
B. To design and build a Plaza facility to be used under/with the canopy
Abilities the student will achieve
The main objective is to extract the information from the research and the visits in Paris as input in
the design process is to be showed by applying the new digital skills taught during the workshop; where students will concentrate on exploring architectonical potentials seen and done by digital tools and usage of materials. The students will finish the workshop knowing; how to construct a design processes through digital tools and basic scripting tools and how to apply this knowledge to create architectonical proposals and physical prototypes.

Digital architectural tools: towards new architectural form and tectonics
Workshop at Bio digital architecture master course at ESARQ, UIC Barcelona, Spain. An exploration into parametric design and the different opportunities provided by information systems and digital tools, towards new architectonical form and tectonics. Mothership: Universidad Internacional De Catalunya (Barcelona Spain)
Studio Genetic Architectonical Design Studio at Bio digital architecture master course at ESARQ, UIC Barcelona, Spain. Mothership: Universidad Internacional De Catalunya (Barcelona pain)
X-‐tra Workshop The aim of the workshop is to give an introductory understanding of key concepts such as topology, information (in morphogenesis), redundancy and Pluripotency as a mean to Undisclosed per formative potential through morphology, from biological development to architectural design, within a general framework of an ecology of design. Efficiency and performance in nature are the result of processes of self-‐organization in material systems which rely entirely on information exchange flows and the organization of these flows.
Within such a framework, redundancy and flamboyancy coexist with optimization at different scales, triggering emergent potential extra-‐qualities. The use of digital tools is strongly and inevitably involved for their unique capacity to embed complexity in the design process via information flow management and rule-‐based patterns. Participants will investigate specific geometric strategies such as those of lightweight and voluptuous bodies: folds, frazzles and placations as a mean for efficiency and performance(structural, movement, thermal). Animation and other techniques will be used to tease out differentiations and gradients between key configurations (attractors), as well as exploring the emergence of complexity and effects out of simple starting elements.
