City on the Sea

AA Shanghai Visiting School

UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG HKU SHANGHAI STUDY CENTRE

12–20 AUGUST 2011

The City on the Sea will investigate new approaches in architecture and urbanism within the context of Shanghai, one of the world’s most rapidly growing cities.

Shang Hai (上海) literally translates as ‘on sea’. The topic for this year’s programme concerns an imminent crisis facing its megalopolis – rising sea levels. This condition is exacerbated by the insatiable demand for land fuelled by the city’s continuing densification. We will investigate paradigms related to complex, natural systems, and the potential for greater symbiosis with man-made urbanism. Design proposals will negotiate the paradoxical fluid forces of urban development and environmental change, seeking new sensitive design prototypes for the low-lying aquatic landscape of Shanghai.

The course will be taught by tutors from the AA, HKU and other visitors, in a two-part programme. Over the first three days computational design systems will be introduced in a series of ‘tooling-up’ sessions as the basis for investigating associative design concepts and methodologies. The aim of these exercises is to introduce expertise in generative, algorithmic and parametric approaches with which to address topics such as urban growth, system-based organisation and formal diversity. In a second stage, students will develop proposals responding to a shared studio brief focusing on new models of urban densification. Students will apply code-based modelling, simulation and fabrication techniques towards variable and recursive prototypes for a range of environmental, infrastructural and urban systems, driven by scenarios of future incremental, adaptive growth and change.

Alongside design tutorials and seminars, a series of lectures, presentations and a public symposium will address contemporary architectural topics. During the workshop we will also tour the water-towns surrounding Shanghai, investigating traditional means with which to address these compelling yet tenuous environments.

APPLICATIONS

The deadline for applications is 22 July 2011. A late deadline of 5 August 2011 is also in effect, but this will incur a £50 surcharge. Application forms and additional information are available online at: www.aaschool.ac.uk/shanghai and applications can be submitted to: visitingschool@aaschool.ac.uk. All participants travelling from abroad are responsible for securing any visa required, and are advised to contact their home embassy early. After payment of fees, the AA can provide a letter confirming participation in the workshop.

ACCOMMODATION & COSTS

Accommodation during the workshop is not provided, but advice will be given for nearby affordable hotels. The AA Visiting School requires a fee of £650 per participant, which includes a £50 Visiting Student Membership, made payable to the AA School of Architecture. Fees do not include flights. Students are advised to bring their own laptops, digital equipment and model making tools.

REQUIREMENTS

Software requirements: skills in 3D modelling and scripting will be advantageous, but are not essential.
