Located in Tel Aviv, the CSI Visiting School combines cutting-edge and traditional techniques of draughtsmanship to produce a series of sophisticated architectural surfaces whose multiple scales and ‘thick 2D’ qualities will form an elaborate set of ‘land marks’ to commemorate the city’s centennial in 2009.
The ten-day programme will work with a wide range of media: architectural drawings, cartographic maps, hydrographic blueprints and digital photography will be synthesised to form intricate 2D and 3D forms experimenting with the parameters and meaning of drawing. Pioneers of art and architectural representation will be our guides, bringing London to Israel’s cultural capital in the form of Joseph Gandy, Robert Adam, James Stirling, David Hockney, John Outram and Michael Webb.
Participants will work individually or in small groups in a studio environment, directed by AA teaching staff and invited specialists. Project-based work will be informed by a series of lectures and presentations by designers, architects, digital fabricators and other experts. Students will learn to use a wide-range of software to generate intricate and complex designs that can create new interconnections and spatial organisations. 3D drawings will then be made of these designs, using computer-controlled fabrication processes.
Wednesday 8 – Friday 17 July 2009
