[01] Proto-Design projects exhibition at Macedonian Museum of
Contemporary Art
The Thessaloniki Aristotle University's (AUTH) Faculty of Engineering,
in collaboration with London's Architectural Association School of
Architecture, is displaying an exhibition of student's projects of the
Association's post-graduate program Design Research Laboratory (DRL)
titled "AA DRL: Proto-Design at the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary
Art in the northern Greek capital. The exhibition will run through May
9.
The Proto-Design agenda investigates digital and material prototyping
as the methodology as well as the primary design outcome of studio
work.
Parametric modelling and coding systems are emphasised as the vehicles
in this new field of experimentation on multiple, sequential and
recursive prototypical systems and spaces. Far from heralding the end
of the design project as a form of research, this new performance-
driven approach aims for more specific design proposals concerned with
concrete design problems. The iterative methodologies of the design
studio are directed towards the investigation of new spatial,
structural and material organisations, and to the formulation of new
discourses on contemporary computation and materialisation in the
disciplines of architecture and urbanism.
