2016 AA Athens Visiting School will explore the philosophy of phenomenology as a starting point in the architectural design. The experience around an architectural object, looking at natural formations processes via digital simulations; and exploring informed bio-mimetic form-finding methods through bottom-up methodologies. A 1:1 scale structure will be put together, enabling experience of built space as a result of a series of initial tests through a combination of different software including among others Arduino,Processing, Grasshopper and Rhinoceros.
