SEMINAR ON COMPUTER CONTROLLED MANUFACTURING & ARCHITECTURE!
|
digital.material: seminar
Monday April 26th 2010
Digital media is often seen as a way to abstract the world. But in design and fabrication digital tools allow for a new closeness between design and making. As manufacturing becomes increasingly computer controlled and as better and more solid interfaces between the design space and fabrication mature, a more integrated working practice arises. To enter into this practice, and to make use of its knowledge sharing and its ability to create new more sustainable building practice that lie outside the mass produced and the standardised, it is necessary to integrate this new practice into architectural thinking, designing and making.
digital.material explores a new material nearness into our practice. Through this seminar we ask: how do we engage with this material sense, how can better crafts knowledge challenge our design paradigms and what happens when the architect become tool builder defining individualised design tools for non standardised making.

Michael Hensel
Prof. Michael U. Hensel [Dipl. Ing. Grad Dipl Des AA] (born 1965, Celle, Germany) is an architect, researcher, educator and writer. He is a founding member of OCEAN (1994) and founding chairman of the OCEAN Design Research Association (2008) where he currently serves as a board member and secretary. He is also board member of BIONIS – The Biomimetics Network for Industrial Sustainability (since 2007). He is currently Professor for Research by Design at AHO – The Oslo School of Architecture and Design in Oslo, Norway. Previously he taught at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London (1993 to 2009), where he developed the curriculum for and co-directed the Emergent Technologies and Design Program (2001 to 2009). He held visiting professorships and innovation fellowships and taught and lectured in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Australia. His research interests and efforts include formulating the theoretical and methodological framework for Performance-oriented Architecture and developing a biological paradigm for design and sustainability of the built environment.

Toni Österlund
Toni Österlund is a Finnish architect working with the possibilities of digital fabrication and algorithmic/parametric design methods. He is a partner in a small, yet innovative architecture office Lundén Österlund architects with special interests in digital design strategies, the use of timber through computerized fabrication and implementing natural processes in architecture.
He has written articles on publications and collaborated with the University of Oulu, Department of Architecture by organizing workshops for students on algorithmic design methods. He was part in setting up an international seminar, exhibition and publication, called “GENERATE – from algorithm to structure”, which displayed works and experiments on algorithmic structures. He is currently starting his Ph.D. studies in University of Oulu, Department of Architecture.

Mette Ramsgard Thomsen
Mette Ramsgard Thomsen is an architect working with digital technologies. Her research centres on the relationship between crafts and technology framed through “Digital Crafting” as way of questioning how computation, code and fabrication challenge architectural thinking and material practices. Her work is practice lead and through projects such as Slow Furl, Strange Metabolisms, Vivisection and Sea Unsea she investigates the design and realisation of a behavioural space. Mette is Associate Professor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, where she heads the Centre for Information Technology and Architecture [CITA]. She has researched and taught at the Bartlett School of Architecture, the Department of Computer Science, University College London and at University of Brighton, School of Architecture and Design.

Martin Tamke
Martin Tamke, is Associate Professor at the Centre for Information Technology and Architecture (CITA) at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture in Copenhagen he is pursuing a design led research on the interface and implications of computational design and its materialization.?Being interested in the making as well as the reflection on new strategies in architectural design he worked after graduation at the Institute of Theory and Design in Architecture (ige) at TU Braunschweig in 2003, where he got in contact with scientific research in interdisciplinary projects, mainly with Computer Science. Based on a deep understanding of architectural design and computational techniques he developed his practice between the speculative and the realization of architecture. In the recent years his practice took place in collaborative projects in different scales: from exhibition pieces, competitions and interiors, as the realization of a virtual news studio for the television company RTL to architectural projects. A 70m organic shaped infrastructural hub is currently under construction in Hamburg.
Martin Tamke joined the newly founded research centre CITA in 2006 and shaped its design based research practice. Projects on new design and fabrication tools for wood production, curved creased surfaces or fractal systems led to a series of digitally fabricated speculative probes, prototypes and 1:1 demonstrators and recently the research driven digitally design and production of the exhibition “It’s a small world” in the Danish Design Centre. He has taught workshops at Vienna, Berlin, Barcelona, St. Petersburg, Hamburg, Istanbul, Moscow, Copenhagen and Aarhus.

Phil Ayres
Phil Ayres is an architect and educator. He recently joined the ranks at CITA (Centre for
Information Technology and Architecture, Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen) after a
decade of teaching and research at the Bartlett School of Architecture in London, and completing
a PhD in Denmark at the Aarhus School.
As a self-taught computer programmer, skilled machinist and maker, his work searches to construct
complementary potentials between the worlds of the digital and the analogue. His teaching and
research allow him to bridge the realms of representation, fabrication and interaction, and feed into
his interest of developing exploratory design techniques that are often computer mediated, but
always lead to physical output. Much of this work has been published internationally.
