AA Houston Visiting School

“Inter-Scaless” is a two-week workshop where students  develop parametric design strategies that enable them to  generate design scenarios across scales, while focusing on a given conceptual framework. The  challenge this year is to rebuild the relationship between  the Houston’s Ship-Channel and the public urban  structure of Houston, to generate a sense of place. Parametric systems that respond to both existing urban fabric and Houston’s port water mass, lead to a range of artifi cial landscapes that negotiate public space with the  Ship Channel’s edge. Situated at the crossroads of Urban Design, Architecture, Environmental Design and infrastructure, this exercise will give participants the opportunity to develop their skills through different methodologies based on the exploration of local conditions, material processes, and the experimentation with digital fabrication and representational tools. The Visiting School is an opportunity to experience methodologies and ideas developed at the Architectural Association in a two-week intensive full time studio.
