AA_Aarhus architecture exhibition

The Aarhus Visiting School has set up an exhibition at Dokk1, investigating how light can be manipulated through patterns and geometry.

The Exhibition shows the work of architectural students and professionals that have partaken in a 10-day workshop, which is an international collaboration between the Aarhus School of Architecture and the Architectural Association, London. The participants have come from all over the world to explore how geometry and patterns can be used to manipulate and mediate light. 

In order to explore this agenda, the students have been divided into clusters, where one explores how to make stable shell structures out of thin sheet material. The other explores a how robots can potentially become part of architectural making by looking at robotic assembly pipelines revolving around hotwire cutting.

The investigations are driven through the use of computational tools and state of the art fabrication technique. This year, the students expanded on last year’s fabrication framework by adding robotic fabrication to the curriculum. In this context they aim to ask the greater question about what the potential role can be of robots in architecture. All of their experiments have been enabled by the fantastic facilities at Aarhus School of Architecture.

This year they have had attendees from across the world such as New Zealand, Austrailia, USA, Canada, Iran, Italy, Germany, Venezuela, Denmark, and Turkey. 

The exhibition is open for everyone until the 26. August, 2016 at Dokk1.
