CITA Sessions Scanning Workshop Robotics Workshop

Our programme welcomes researchers and practitioners from all over the world to lecture the students on their areas of expertise. All specialists within the field of computation in architecture, they demonstrate the multiplicity of skills and specialities involved in the production of projects in the area.

The scanning workshop introduces students to a range of scanning methods, allowing for the documentation of largescale environments as well as for the capture of smaller-scale geometries with great precision.

The workshop introduces students to basic control, workflow and feedback strategies used within architectural and industrial robotics. Through group-based investigation of different fabrication strategies and the production of material outcomes, the course builds competence in integrating design with the state of the art in digital fabrication.

Ecosystems Workshop

Graded Knitted Membranes

Mentoring Sessions

The workshop aims at introducing fundamental concepts of ecology, to build crossdisciplinary knowledge, and to explore the representation of ecosystems. Architecture is developed through its representations. Ecosystems are defined by a biological community of organisms, their physical environment, and their interactions. How can we represent ecosystems from an architectural perspective? How can we represent the dynamics of relations?

The workshop offers to initiate the students to the digital tools for design, structural and geometrical evaluation, and material differentiation of graded CNC-knitted membranes. In the two-week of interdisciplinary activities spanning digital design and textile fabrication, students will explore the relationship between digitally simulated artifacts and physically produced equivalents.

Mentoring sessions with renowned Danish architecture firm 3XN enable thesis students to test underlying assumptions, refine their developing design ideas, and develop presentation and communication skills around the developing work. Beyond direct project feedback, these conversations with expert practitioners provide insight into professional perspectives and opportunities.
