AA Athens Visiting School 2012 | Cipher City

National Technical University of Athens, School of Architecture

Cipher City

01-07 April 2012

In the capital of Greece, where innovation has been always a force of creativity, the workshop will be hosted by the NTUA School of Architecture. In its urban context, Athens presents a challenging mixture of historical diversity and current developing territories in the outskirts of the city.

During this process, participants will have the opportunity to experience the historical, contemporary, and geographical diversity of Athens during studio trips, while challenging the conventional design approach in order to break the dichotomy between the building and the urban realm.

The extreme spatial dimension of verticality will be tested through an online platform linking the workshop with AA Istanbul Visiting School which is taking horizontality as its agenda.

Deadline: 10 March 2012.

Applications can be submitted to: visitingschool@aaschool.ac.uk
