    Abstract

      3 Workshops one exibition

     

    Three conceptual architectural workshops took take place in parallel from August 16th - 22nd 2008.

    Each workshop carried a specific methodology and the goal is to come up with conceptual proposals that could be further developed for selected sites in the city of Aalborg.

    They took as its departure one of the sub-themes of the assignment and develop it within the present context of Aalborg. It is our intention to develop new types of open learning environments and public domains as well as places of experiment and uncertainty.

    The Format of the Workshops

    The workshop model includes an open workshop where a handful of international architects are invited to spend five days with local architects, engineers and scholars contributing to a work of architectural vision and quality. The workshop includes presentations and discussions and development of projects in interdisciplinary teams.

    The public is invited to attend and actively participate in a discussion about how the points and areas of their city that have been selected for special treatment could be transformed. The projects range from the conversion of a single building to large regional regeneration projects.

    The Exibition follow the content of tree workshops

    Workshop 1:

    Digital architecture - Copenhagen Group

    This workshop focus on digital methods and representation of architecture and urban environments. On the basis of selected parameters it developed a new transparent spaces of interaction and new architectural form.

    Workshop 2:

    Architectural Concepts - New York Group

    This workshop will develop urban prototypes that enhance learning, urban culture and cultural exchange. It will focus on the relation between present urban fabric and new architectural form.

    Workshop 3:

    Urban Catalysts - The Berlin Group

    This workshop focus on temporary architecture and urban catalysts. Informal spaces and the interface between the built and the void are foremost in the development of performative urban environments and cultural interaction.
