In 2S pace – International Workshop/September 2013

MAGLAB, Syria – Spain – Italy (Materials- Advanced Architecture – Generative Laboratory) as a part of Maksoud Architectural Group, authorized reseller and authorized training center of McNeel in Syria and the Middle East through its affiliate offices, was pleased to announce In 2 S pace Workshop 2013 second edition “that will take place in BCN – Spain on September 4th 2013.

In 2S pace was a cutting-edge Workshop in Academia worldwide focusing exclusively on novel approaches to the [Architecture] emerging practice?

The goal of the workshop was to prepare students from different disciplines and countries for the continuing advancement of technological and computational processes in architecture, as they merge the fields of design, Art, engineering, construction and natural sciences.

The workshop focused on challenging the design space boundaries of current architectural and engineering practice. It seeks to provoke a re-examination of techniques, practices and theories of design in relation to the fields of engineering, robotics, digital manufacturing, material science and biology.

The workshop also provided participants to discover this beautiful city with a professional vision about its architecture and culture. It provided also a unique opportunity to visit the most famous architecture studios and approach the foreign experience and its methodologies.

From the program kick-off, the multicultural active framework facilitates live learning through site visits to of the most important Architects, universities and designers experience , offers a highly stimulating cultural environment that provides a broad yet intensive introduction to a palette of fashion, design, Art and architectural -analytical and theoretical- backbones.

The workshop explored how a digital and technologies view of design could be implemented in a real scale built product.

The output were the development of the Participant’s skills with knowledge of computational design Systems.

The participants learnt how to prepare their designs to be fabricated by using laser cutter, CNC and related technologies and how the awareness of the fabrication process should affect their design process from the early beginning.

At the end of the workshop each participant received an official certificate of participation signed officially by the related workshop collaborators universities and associations.
