Are you interested in gaining Parametric competency to push your design skills to the next level?

Are you ready to learn a very exciting and powerful tool that will take your ideas and concepts to a whole new realm?

The two-day introductory workshop to parametric design with digital fabrication in the field of Design integrated within the algorithmic modeling. It will allow you to investigate new formal solutions optimized for the architecture and design. It will also include a lecture and presentations on the subject of complexity in our design methodology and how to incorporate it as a design tool. The recent development of sophisticated computational design tools has instigated new ways of integrating computation in the design process; both within architecture and engineering disciplines.

Succulent Walls tackle how architecture can respond to Southern California’s precarious relationship to water and lack of disaster preparedness. The work of a Master of Architecture (M.Arch.I) Research Studio taught by Heather Roberge, this collaboration between Mary and David Martin's MADWORKSHOP and UCLA Architecture and Urban Design prototypes a series of residential water catchment systems.
