Morphing Norms, Parametric Design Summer Workshop in Cairo, Egypt

Morphing Norms Workshop

14-25 September, Cairo, Egypt

Organized by morph-d studio, AL-TU and Karimsky

Technical Brief:

Cairo is filled with barriers controlling people movements, suppressing them as well as detaining green and public spaces to the extent that most people have been taking these spaces for granted. Public spaces have been for a while the periphery of our daily life.
We will explore in this workshop how we can manipulate and alter people’s perception and direct their attention to how these spaces are integral for city life.
This exploration will be backed up by intensive technical tutorials introducing computational design and fabrication techniques and tools mainly Rhino, Grasshopper, Geco and Ecotect.
Not only will this be the typical technical workshop, but rather you will also have the chance to be guided step by step on how these tools are used through out different design stages in a real world scenario.
Design prototypes will be produced through 3D printing, the main workshop output will be a fabricated one to one functional model for one of the designs using our new in-house CNC machine.
