DIGITALMED WORKSHOP IV EDITION SMART: INTERACTION BETWEEN PEOPLE /CITIES/ENVIRONMENT

The Summer School digitalMed’s fourth edition is a planning laboratory directed to investigate subjects, operations and techniques that affect the current international architectural  panorama.

The subject of this edition focuses on the investigation of interactions between the environment and the human being, made through objects, mechanisms and architectures able to interact with who makes use of them. The aim of digitalMed IV is drawing a catalogue of projects/prototypes to insert them in an urban context, and to outline new future-cities profile.

PURPOSES AND TERMS:

The digitalMed Summer School IV edition aims to organize the flows of information, in which the city is absorbed, to adapt projects and to make them useful, no invasives, and suitable to establish an information exchange.

The concepts of slow cities and smart cities are directed by all types procedures, from immaterial to materia, from information to the built. This is the iter that we will follow to reinvent the relationship between man, environment and cities.

Through learning by-doing educational procedure, participants will acquire not only new metodologies and means, but also concrete cases where testing these ones. In this way, new acquired information won’t remain  simple educational exercises, but will be notable elements in the portfolio participants.

TOPICS:

The planning approach of digitalMed Summer School IV edition will supply to participants all the technic knowledges and theoretical bases in order to work.

The first days of workshop will focus on the outline of a shared vocabulary that allows to work from shared meanings. This phase is characterized by subjects occurring in the contemporary architecture such as computational design, digital fabrication and data driven, then systems, like Arduino, which allow the interaction with objects, and fields like permaculture and social innovation that nowadays contribute to the  realignment of environment and city’ ideas.

The participants will have the opportunity to learn the use of software for the parametric planning, like Grasshopper, and to test interactions between real information and virtual data (and viceversa) through the use of Arduino.

PREREQUISITES:

The workshop is open both to the students and to the professionals. It needs a basic knowledge of  Rhinoceros 3D program.  All the participants have to bring their own laptop. The programs for installing will be communicated during the registration act.
