The 15 Crucial Things You Will Not Learn in Architecture School

Being an Architect or Interior designer is not an easy job. It’s been long years of Hardworking which goes through days and nights. But what we expect after college to land on a great job or open our own firm or do some freelancing.

But What if you find that the learning at school is far away from the ground realities?

Don’t get surprised but it is true when all of us come out of school, we feel that it is something different from what we are doing in school.

The 15 Most Crucial Things we are getting to teach you through

Berlin 2020 Filmmaking Workshop: Framing Urban Memory Via Short Films

A one-week workshop for individuals interested in filming architecture and the city. Between 16 and 20 March at ZK/U in Berlin, we will benefit from feature and short films to discuss urban architecture, and to re-produce Berlin through filming. The target of the workshop is to make a short film within the boundaries of the city. As a Berliner, or an outsider to the city, participants will be making a film in and about Berlin within the theme of “Urban Memory.” The workshop is open to all, and film experience is not required.

This is a full-time workshop. Please contact Gul

Masterclass: Disruptive Design to Transform Business

IE School of Architecture and Design and ArchDaily, would like to invite you to join this outstanding face to face masterclass by Elvira Muñoz, Director of the Master in Strategic Design of Spaces at IE School of Architecture & Design and Principal of Interior Design for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa at AECOM.

Join us at COSENTINO´s offices in New York or Miami to discover how to implement innovative design changes that impact behavior and align with an organization’s goals — whatever they may be. Elvira will explain how investing in physical and digital spaces has a myriad of benefits for a company allowing them to enhance functionality, brand strengthening and boosting productivity and satisfaction, while also providing sustainable solutions.

AA/ITB Advanced Bamboo Design and Construction Summer Workshop

This 12 day design and construction workshop at the AA School in London, teaches a design process which synthesises computational design tools and materials with natural variability such as bamboo, informed though first-hand experience of the material and 1:1 scale bamboo construction.

We need to look at new sustainable, locally available natural materials for construction, and architects need to respond to this challenge and develop new processes to work with natural materials which ensure structural integrity and affordability.

The AA-ITB Bamboo Lab is a collaborative programme of the AA Visiting School and the Institut Teknologi Bandung which explores the fusion

CONQUEST OF THE USELESS & SPECULATIONS ON THE USEFUL

CONQUEST OF THE USELESS & SPECULATIONS ON THE USEFUL

Let us come away together from this, for a bit, and try to figure out how it all seems from a distance. Let us put some distance between this and us, and see how this appears. And while we are at it, let us take a look at the perch as well.

This, that, the perch and us; is the long and short of everything we will explore

1. THIS

This is where we are right now, all of us. This is our city and our forest, our river and our sewer, our air

CREATING HOMES FOR TOMORROW
Within the 2019/20 educational program, CANactions School travels to 3 metropoles in western, northern and eastern Europe and explores their innovative approaches for creating more livable neighborhoods. Based on the findings, we develop new strategies for locally specific and globally relevant questions, considering spatial, economic, social and political measures.

The program is exposed to the housing context of the three European cities that are widely

Parametric Modulations: London 2020- Global Visiting School

PARAMETRIC MODULATIONS, Computational Design Workshop
London, 15th–17th January 2020

Level: Basic & Intermediate (Previous parametric design knowledge not obligatory).

Tools: Rhinoceros3D + Grasshopper3D

Agenda
Parametric Design, in the history of architecture, has defined many rules for current designers and for future practitioners to follow. One of the strongest aspects that are prominent from this style is ‘geometry’. Arguably, there is nothing new about geometry and aesthetics forming the most prominent aspect of any style or era. The language of any style, in the long history of architecture, is visually defined by geometry or shape, beyond the principles that define the core of the style. In

SESAM 2020 POLIKLINIKA in Slavutych, Ukraine

The Ukrainian team of European Architecture Students Assembly (EASA ) is holding an architecture event called SESAM POLIKLINIKA in Slavutych, Ukraine on 28.05 - 07.06.

SLAVUTYCH was built to rehouse workers from the contaminated zone of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

250 young architects from Europe and beyond will come in Slavutych, Northern Ukraine, for 10 days. During the event participants will inhabit an abandoned hospital in the city centre and will help to bring it back to life.

Around 30 workshops, run by architectural students and young professionals, will tackle the issue of this post-atomic city. Workshops will be selected

Designing Regenerative Spaces

Regenerative spaces are those that are rehabilitating, enriching and strengthening - they reverse the damaging effects of life’s challenges. We will explore what this looks like from multiple angles and broaden the discussion beyond the building.

What?
A weeknight event where we define what regenerative spaces look and feel like across a range of users, sectors and services, from community health and international development to survivors of domestic violence.

How?
We’ll use PechaKucha style presentations from pioneers in health, architecture and the community to spark a fresh discussion. Together, speakers and guests will develop ideas to inform the design of regenerative spaces.

Foresight - AA Visiting School Stuttgart

Never before have there been such fundamental uncertainties about our future. Obvious signs of climate change, a political landscape in flux, rapid advances in technology and their consequential societal changes are making us anxious about our personal life in the next decades.

The Laboratory is a cross-disciplinary initiative that brings together architects, artists, designers and researchers to speculate about the near future through an exploration of our social, cultural, spatial and technological present. What could the impact be onto our shared future? Avoiding dystopia, the workshop aims to come up with productive narratives about the future that try to

AA Visiting School Asinara - Casting Castaways

Every human intervention on an island – even those that interpret it as an ideal space for confinement - starts as an act of colonisation aimed at reducing the unescapable condition of insularity. Enacting the power of nomads as decolonising agents, Casting Castaways will migrate every two years from island to island across a former carceral archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea. We will seek for a pedagogy that, while suggesting future scenarios vis a vis current trends in tourism, environmental preservation and heritage, interrogates those territories to understand how and whether architecture can challenge and escape from the very ideas

Open Call: ‘Creating Homes for Tomorrow’

Within the 2019/20 program, CANactions School travels to 4 metropoles in western, northern and central Europe and explores their innovative approaches for creating more livable neighborhoods. Based on the findings, we develop new strategies for locally specific and globally relevant questions, considering spatial, economic, social and political measures.

The program is exposed to the housing context of the three European cities that are widely acclaimed for their high living quality – Amsterdam, Zurich and Helsinki, and absorbs their practices to specifically address the housing challenges of the rapidly growing Kyiv.
