We must combat the built environment's contribution to global air pollution. We believe that sustainable buildings and cities are a fundamental part of the solution to reducing the environmental and health impacts of global air pollution. Green buildings and cities are an integral component of global sustainable development, as defined by the Sustainable Development Goals.
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. The goal is to generate physical prototypes of these lightweight, low-tech construction systems within the Brazilian context, with the support of the digital design experts and the team at SUBdV.
