ARCHITECTURAL ASSOCIATION VISITING SCHOOL RIO DE JANEIRO WORKSHOP: Rio to Tokyo Interactive

Led by Japanese interactive digital-architect Seiichi Saito of Rhizomatiks, who has created a series of digitally immersive projects, such as the computationally enhanced interactive treadmill play-scape of the Gatorade Run – Fun Race Machine(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8RIMVhdgIk), and the interactive digitally informed Nike + Fuelband-Wristband Interactive Video-Mapping Projection Concert at at Battersea Power Station(https://vimeo.com/70791746), the AA Visiting School Rio de Janeiro 10-day intensive workshop will focus on how sports infrastructure can be informed and transformed by scanned body data so to both illustrate and improve human athletic capacity and interactively engage the spectator. Students will use theTokyo 2020 Olympic stadium as a testing ground for the creation of a new type of intelligent and interactive sports architecture. The workshop will teach eyeball and brain scanning, interactive coding, and parametric digital design and fabrication using Rhino and Grasshopper, to create a post-robotic morphing between the sensibility of the body and novel computational innovation, between Rio de Janeiro 2016 and Tokyo 2020. All software will be taught from beginning level, no previous experience needed.
