Final Review: Follymorph Course, Bauhaus Dessau
It´s done. Last weekend we attended the final review of the Follymorph course Sandra and I teached at the DIA, Bauhaus Dessau. The scope of the workshop was to explore possibilities for architectural design emerging from a combination of selforganizational behaviour and computational design. The students had to explore an initial gypsum
model, an abstract machine that included various phenomena of emergent conditions. After the initial phase, they had to transcribe the observed phenomena using computational tools such as topological mesh modeling software and high en animation softwares. The phenomena were scrutinized for applications derived from discoursive issues such as Gradients, stratifications, viscous conditions and more. Finally they had to imply the architectonic task to create a stair or ramp within a Folly. This had to be depicted with the traditional tools of architecture: Plans and sections.

Well ...at least I think so. Bahaus is a very important place for design.
