AAVS Shanghai 2015
The 9th annual AA Shanghai Summer School will focus on issues related to the unprecedented extent and rate of urbanization in China. Given the legacy of twentieth century models of assembly-based repetitive production, the effects of standardization on cities today include their universal monotonous, generic similitude. Balancing an agenda concurrently pursuant of spatial coherence and heterogeneity, the aim of this visiting school programme is to investigate a toolbox with which to confront the prevalence of default spatial and material modes of production. As an intensive nine-day studio-based course, clusters of tutors and students will apply code-based and time-based modelling, morphogenetic generative techniques, and physics-based simulation, towards multiple, variable and recursive urban and architectural systems.

AA上海暑期工作营今年是第九届，今年我们将关注前所未有的中国城市化进程，更加具体来讲，我们将关注上海-卓越的二十一世纪城市进程实验基地。基于二十世纪遗留的组装和重复生产为主的生产模型，标准化生产对当今城市发展产生了单调，相似，和普遍通用的影响。为了追求和平衡空间的连贯性和异质性而达成城市的多样性，本届暑期工作营的目的是研讨如何应用合理的工具来挑战既有的空间和物质生产方式。作为一个九天高强度的设计课程，导师和学生们将深入学习和研究数字化设计方法及具体化分析其应用。学生将学习基于代码设计为主的建模，形态生成技术，以及基于物理模型的模拟测试，从而实现对多个变量递归的建筑和城市系统的分析。
