话题背景：Architectural AssociationSchool of ArchitectureVisiting School 2010/11City on the SeaAA Shanghai Visiting SchoolUNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG HKU SHANGHAI STUDY CENTRE12–20 AUGUST 2011The 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 pro¬gramme 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 con¬tinuing 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 sensi¬tive 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’ ses¬sions as the basis for investigating associa¬tive design concepts and methodologies. The aim of these exercises is to introduce expertise in generative, algorithmic and parametric approaches with which to ad¬dress 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 contempo¬rary architectural topics. During the work¬shop we will...
