The "AA Visiting School São Paulo 2021 – Play Structures" will be the first part of a two-workshop series led by architect and professor Kristof Crolla, held in a hybrid virtual-in-person format. This first workshop aims to explore the combination of bamboo construction and digital technologies, building on digital design research used to implement bending-active bamboo shell structures. The course will build upon previous work conducted by the Building Simplexity Lab at the University of Hong Kong, aiming to combine digital architectural exploration with real-time physical simulation software.
