STRUCTURAL [TRANS]-FORMATIONS | FS 2018-2019 University of Thessaly. Department of Architecture Instructor: Ass.Prof. Maria Vrontissi Participants: Sofia ATHANASARAKI, Gavriela AVLOGIARI, Efthalia-Erato BARTZOKA, Konstantina EMMANOUILIDOU, Charalampos FOTOPOULOS, Nefeli GKREMOU, Maria MEGA, Maria NOMISMATIDOU, Giannis ORLIS, Vasilis PAPADOPOULOS, Evangelia PNEVMATIKOU, Konstantinos SAFLEKOS, Eirini-Michaela SAPOUNA, Amalia TSIOMPRA, Isavella ZOUMPOULI Challenging the prevailing typological practices, the course discusses structural design issues from a topological perspective. In a teaching framework, the course consists of a series of readings aiming to extract concrete or abstract properties of the event and translate them to qualities of the spatial composition or/ and principles of the structural arrangement. In a research context, the work discusses the structural concept as a design resource and investigates the physical model as a tool for diagrammatic reasoning.
