We are very pleased to announce the opening of [para]tectonics – a DTAL exposition presenting of all the workshops and events we’ve managed to put together so far (includes back-lit models!). It wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and talent of our participants!
You can find it at Sala DALLES, near the University square. The Grand Opening is on Friday, 2nd of July at 18.00. It’s part of Bucharest’s Anual of Architecture, 2010.
Everyone’s invited!

versiunea [ro]:
In cadrul manifestarilor legate de arhitectura parametrica si algoritmica domnul Neil Leach va sustine o conferinta in Sala Frescelor a UAUIM marti 18 mai 2010, ora 1230.
Neil Leach este arhitect, curator si teoretician. A predat la unele dintre cele mai prestigioase scoli de arhitectura din lume precum SCI-Arc, Architectural Association,Columbia GSAPP, Cornell University, Dessau Institute of Architecture, IaaC, London Consortium , Royal Danish School of Fine Arts, ESARQ, University of Nottingham,University of Bath si University of Brighton..
Cercetarea sa se dezvolta pe de o parte in jurul a unei teorii critice a arhitecturii, ce trece mai departe de limitele propuse si se inscrie intr-o critica culturala mai generala, fiind dez voltata intr-o serie de monografii si volume ce devin “manuale culturale” pentru teoria arhitecturala contemporana. Acestea includ: Rethinking Architecture: A Reader in Cultural Theory (Routledge, 1997); The Anaesthetics of Architecture (MIT Press, 1999); Millennium Culture (Ellipsis, 1999); Architecture and Revolution: Contemporary Perspectives on Central and Eastern Europe (Routledge, 1999); The Hieroglyphics of Space: Reading and Experiencing the Modern Metropolis (Routledge, 2002), China (Map Office, 2004) and Camouflage (MIT Press, 2006).
Cel de-al doilea subiect abordat de Neil Leach este cel al arhitecturii digitale, unde a publicat numeroase volume si este co-curator al unor expozitii dedicate, incluzand Designing for a Digital World (Wiley, 2002), Digital Tectonics (Wiley, 2004) and Digital Cities (Wiley, 2009), precum si expozitiile Fast Forward>> exhibition at the Architecture Biennial Beijing 2004, Emerging Talents, Emerging Technologies exhibition at the Architecture Biennial Beijing 2006, si (Im)material Processes: New Digital Techniques for Architectureexhibition at the Architecture Biennial Beijing 2008.
In momentul actual Neil Leach este profesor la University of Southern California unde preda alaturi de Kris Mun, Fracois Roche, Manuel DeLanda si Frank Gehry. Activitatea didactica poate fi urmarita pe blogul de cercetare a arhtiecturii parametrice si algoritmice, PARAsite : http://arch-pubs.usc.edu/parasite/.
De asemenea Neil Leach pregateste o expozitie pe tema ‘Swarm Intelligence: Architectures of Multi-Agent Systems’ impreuna cu Roland Snooks (Kokkugia) ce se va deschide la Sanghai pe 14 iulie.
Aces eveniment nu ar fi fost posibil fara: Dana Vais, Dorin Stefan, Augustin Ioan, Adrian Arendt, Mihai Racu, Adrian Pop, Iulia Cucu, Emil Foger, Ionut Anton si UAUIM.
[en] version:
Linked to the events for parametric and algorithmic architecture, Neil Leach will host a lecture in UAUIM’s Sala Frescelor on Tuesday, 18 May 2010, at 1230h.
Neil Leach is an architect, curator and writer. He has been teaching in some of the most prestigious schools of architecture in the world, such as SCI-Arc, Architectural Association,Columbia GSAPP, Cornell University, Dessau Institute of Architecture, IaaC, London Consortium , Royal Danish School of Fine Arts, ESARQ, University of Nottingham,University of Bath and University of Brighton.
His reseach revolves mainly arround a critical theory of architecture, which goes over its designed limits and goes into a more general cultural critique and is being developed in a series of monografies and volumes that become “cultural readers” for contemporary architecture. These include Rethinking Architecture: A Reader in Cultural Theory (Routledge, 1997); The Anaesthetics of Architecture (MIT Press, 1999); Millennium Culture (Ellipsis, 1999); Architecture and Revolution: Contemporary Perspectives on Central and Eastern Europe (Routledge, 1999); The Hieroglyphics of Space: Reading and Experiencing the Modern Metropolis (Routledge, 2002), China (Map Office, 2004) and Camouflage (MIT Press, 2006).
The second subject on focus for Neil Leach is that of digital design, where he has published a number of volumes and is the co-curator for explicit exhibitions, including including Designing for a Digital World (Wiley, 2002), Digital Tectonics (Wiley, 2004) and Digital Cities (Wiley, 2009), and the exhibitions: Fast Forward>> exhibition at the Architecture Biennial Beijing 2004, the Emerging Talents, Emerging Technologies exhibition at the Architecture Biennial Beijing 2006, and the (Im)material Processes: New Digital Techniques for Architectureexhibition at the Architecture Biennial Beijing 2008.
Currently he is a proffesor at University of Southern California, where he teaches with Kris Mun, Fracois Roche, Manuel DeLanda and Frank Gehry. His activity can be followed on the newly established blog for research in parametric and algorithmic architecture, PARAsite : http://arch-pubs.usc.edu/parasite/.
He is also working on an exhibition on ‘Swarm Intelligence: Architectures of Multi-Agent Systems’ along with Roland Snooks (Kokkugia), which will open in Shanghai on the 14th of July.

Also, if you have prior experience in Grasshopper or other software (GC, Digital Project, etc.) please let us know.
Application deadline is 14th of May 23:59. 16th May 12.30.

Iata si programul detaliat de pe parcursul intregii saptamani:
Daca nu se vede destul de clar, iaca si textul : ADD&F WS_Program_PDF
In emailul pe care l-am trimis participantilor am mai adaugat cateva detalii care nu sunt mentionate in program si care merita amintite si aici:
LUNI 03.05.2010
10.30 – 11.00: Introduction Lecture + Workshop Theme presentation
LOCATIE: Laboratorul de Informatica
Etajul 4, corpul nou [langa catedra de geometrie descriptiva]
Trebuie deasemenea sa va spunem ca in primele 3 zile in care ne vom definitiva modelele digitale vom lucra intr-unul din atelierele puse la dispozitie de universitate. Vom merge impreuna luni, dupa prima prezentare, la headquarters.
In aceeasi zi vom pune la punct si reteaua de internet astfel incat speram sa avem conexiune nestingherita 24/7.
Va trebuii sa incepem taierea componentelor pavilionului destul de curand avand in vedere faptul ca timpul de productie a lor va fi destul de indelungat.
Dupa cum stiti deja, ne-am propus ca dupa primele 4 zile sa ne mutam pe terasa facultatii unde sa incepem ansamblarea pavilionului.
Ansamblarea va continua cu siguranta si dupa incheierea workshopului asa ca cel putin primele 2 saptamani de acum inainte vor fi destul de intense :]

Trebuie sa multumim inca o data tuturor celor care ne-au trimis emailuri si aplicatii. Spre bucuria noastra numarul lor a depasit iarasi numarul de locuri propuse initial si din fericire nimenu nu a fost lasat pe dinafara :]
Asteptam in continuare feedbackuri, sugestii, intrebari sau orice semne de nelamurire si vom incerca sa le deznodam impreuna si sa le rezolvam ASAP.

In fine, dupa aproape o saptamana, revenim cu vesti noi.
Maine, 3 mai, va incepe cea de-a doua etapa din cadrul primei serii de workshopuri de digital design organizate la UAUIM, Bucuresti.
Advanced Digital Design & Fabrication WS are ca scop productia la scara 1:1 a unui pavilion al carui design este realizat in totalitate in Rhinoceros + Grasshopper. Cei care ne vor asista si ne vor indruma pe parcursul intregii saptamani sunt Han Feng, Ran Bergman si Roxana Palfi, membrii ai grupului de cercetare Hyperbody, TU Delft.
Miercuri, pe data de 5 mai, vom avea deasemenea placerea de a putea asista la conferinta sustinuta de Nimish Biloria[profesor asistent, Hyperbody Research Group] in sala Frescelor, la ora 18.30.
Acestea fiind scrise, va vom tine la curent pe parcursul intregii perioade cu toate update-urile de la cele calde pana la cele de-a dreptul fierbinti.
Expozitie 1. Training
27 aprilie 2010 Un comentariu
Workshopul nostru s-a terminat. Au fost patru zile de o aglomerare de idei si de colaborare intensa si de rezultate palpabile.
Am considerat ca obiectele fabricate sunt cu mult prea interesante pentru a fi ascunse, deci va invitam la expozitie.
Tot procesul de proiectare si fabricatie in mediul digital, precum si concretizarea acestuia poate fi admirat, cu suportul UAUIM, in spatiul de expozitie dintre holul facultatii si sediul OAR Bucuresti.
In curand vom pune si online toate materialele expuse precum si materialele didactice folosite in timpul workshopului si prezentarile.
Va asteptam!
Procesul de selectie a fost finalizat!
