The oldest teaching and practicing architect in the world, Peter Eisenman, is one of the most contentious figures in the field of architecture and is known for his architectural work and theoretical essays.

This workshop will focus on organic fluid modeling, creating a catalog of building and mesh typologies. We’ll explore Blender’s subdivision modeling and parametric tools like Modifiers and Geometry Nodes, enabling fast procedural model generation. Blender’s parametric capabilities, including Geometry Nodes, offer Grasshopper and Houdini-like features, expanding design possibilities.

As designers, we often find ourselves challenged with measurement questions, with one of the most distinguishable being: how do we determine the success of a design beyond its visual appeal?

In this workshop we will focus on mastering technical tools, navigating Midjourney workflows, and honing curation techniques. Subsequently, the focus will shift towards fostering creative direction, harnessing the narrative power in concept design.

‘Dragons’ also influence other cultures and architectural moments. These buildings might take on dragon-like shapes, utilize dragon-scale patterns, or even be named after dragons, giving a unique and memorable character to the architecture.

The Spatial Fragmentations course will offer an understanding the node-based procedural modelling with Houdini.

The AI-Driven Creativity workshop will significantly emphasize the brainstorming process and the exploration of diverse ideas

Creativity is a captivating force that fuels innovation, expression, and problem-solving. The catalyst ignites the spark of imagination and transforms ordinary ideas into extraordinary works.

Designed by Sun Dayong, “Dream,” chosen by curator Jiang Jian to be the first piece exhibited in the village, effectively opened the festival while also launching its “Local Connection” section.
