6 X Parametric Design Workshops + Studio Reviews + 10+ Online Sessions + 1 End of the Year - Showcase/ Exhibition
6 MONTH PROGRAMME ON COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN
SMART LABS 3.0 Project Showcase 2020
Multidisciplinary Applications of Computational Design & FUTURE OF DESIGN EDUCATION
The year 2020 has been an year of challenges, unrest, revelations and uncertainties. But it has also created new opportunities and unlocked new windows towards a new prospective future.
Smart Labs 3.0 Project Showcase opens up through 3-day continuing sessions of online project showcase through a series of free talks & discussions about FUTURE OF DESIGN EDUCATION. The project showcase would celebrate the works of students explored through the hybrid programme that lasted almost 1 year (with intermittent gaps & disruptions due to the pandemic). During the third batch of Smart Labs Programme, Computational Design skills were taught through a series of studio and online engagements such as Natural Systems / Biomimetics, Complex Parametric Modelling, Dynamic Remeshing, Environmental Simulations, Interactive Systems, Concrete 3D Printing, Laser Cutting, Fabrication Data Management, to name a few processes. A digital exposition curated online would showcase a permanent imprint of the work-in-progress by students demonstrating the exploratory and multidisciplinary nature of the studio. Physical prototypes as installations, furniture, lighting elements and architectural models would be displayed at the Exhibition Space, RVS School of Architecture, Chennai, open to public, and archived for online viewing. The exhibition space is envisaged as an extension of the virtual space, while the virtual space (online showcase) is an extension of the physical exhibition space, conceptually manifested as a dual-format exposition, as the third batch of SMART LABS culminates, with APPLICATIONS OPEN for Smart Labs 4.0 (Batch of 2021).
The 3-day day webinar / summit is fueled by LIVE DEBATES on each-day with professionals and experts from different parts of the world to discuss about opportunities and challenges of design education. The sessions are FREE to attend and would be streamed LIVE through Smart Labs’ platforms.
