Andrea Di Stefano and Aleksandra Jaeschke will present the work of Studio AION at the School of Architecture, University Di Tella in Buenos Aires:
ECO-MACHINES
Projects by Studio AION
Eco-machines are architectural effects of a systematic negotiation between material characteristics, structural forces, functional requirements, normative prescriptions, financial pressures, socio-political agendas, cultural tendencies and environmental dynamics.
Each of them is a device that generates the complex territory within which it functions. Each works as a spatial expression of a multiplicity of processes which define the relations between the environment and who inhabits it. Each, like any other extremely complex or stunningly simple machine, is a product of the desire to interact with its surroundings: an inevitably, yet powerfully, reductive operation on complexity that is orchestrated through few, carefully selected sensory channels.

AION architecture has been invited to run a workshop (15-23/08/2014) within the Postgraduate Program of Architecture and Technology of the School of Architecture and Urban Studies, Torcuato di Tella University in Buenos Aires, directed by Ciro Najle and coordinated by Francisco Cadau. The workshop will focus on parametric design applied to brick domes and will explore the potential of an innovative revolving compass recently developed by AION.

The workshop, organized by Salvo Pappalardo (AION architecture) and Andrea Graziano (Co-de-iT), focuses on the development and management of relationships between information and geometry for condition-specific building envelope systems. Through visual scripting in Grasshopper (generative modeling plug-in for Rhinoceros) participants will learn how to build parametric data structures (from basic lists to complex data trees) and how to set up data-driven geometries in order to develop envelope systems and eventually to extract and organize information relevant to the manufacturing process.
