AA Visiting School Jordan 2016 - Amman, Aqaba / Red Sea

AA Jordan is a ten-day computational architecture workshop as part of the Architectural Association' Visiting School Programmes.

Hyperbolic Reefs

Dates: July 16 to 25, 2016

Location: Amman and Aqaba / Red Sea . Jordan

AGENDA:

At Jordan’s southern-most tip, the Gulf of Aqaba encapsulates a vast biodiversity of marine life including coral reefs and benthic organisms and habitats; many of which are endemic to the area.

As part of our programme agenda on ‘Natural Extremities’ we continue to build-up on design-research into unique ecological phenomena in the region. In July 2016, the focus will be on distinct marine topologies and morphologies found in the Gulf of Aqaba; and their transfiguration into outcomes within architecture and design with a particular focus on computational design methods.

The ten-day programme will bring together a network of distinguished international faculty and guests to offer design-research units, specialist software tutorials and a guest-lecture series; the programme will be primarily based in Amman, and will include an exclusive visit to Aqaba were participants will study and document various marine habitats via snorkeling, photography and 3D-scanning.

On the advice of friends, I made an order here and did not regret it a bit. The work was done quickly and efficiently. I am very glad that I made an order on this site.

Comment by SarahBrunning on March 11, 2021 at 4:55am: This is a cool exhibit that helps people understand the importance of coral reef conservation. Such texts https://phdessay.com/free-essays-on/coral-reef/ help to find interesting facts about the coral population in the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. I am sure that the degradation of the coral coast is associated with the technogenic catastrophe and the excess level of carbon dioxide is evidence of this.
