Schedule

----- Monday, February 18 -----

Introduction Lecture

10:00 AM-12:00 PM (ESARQ Barcelona)

Introduction Lecture for the Floral Obsessions course at the ESARQ Barcelona. Biodigital Architecture Master Course. Issue for the lecture: Based on the Paper Botany Bay I will talk about three main issues in the realm of Flowers interesting as a base for specultations about architectural opportunities within this field: Spatial conditions (Anatomy, Morphology, Manyfolds, Topologies, differentiaon of space, sepals and petals, whorls and creeeping, coloration, ornament as space, deep articulation etc) Structural conditions (Veinings, Canopys, performative surfaces, sound structure by manyfold conditions, heads and stems, Flower bouquets, Parasites (Orchids), surface articulation, ripples and corrugations etc) Material conditions (cell compounds, veining, colorations, differentiated surfaces, fibrous patterns, fibers, cells etc) Floral sensibilities: (Colorations, gradients, bouquets, surface conditions, spatial conditions and flowers. Items of nature and technology providing opportunities for further scrutiny.)

Excursion Botany Garden

2:00 PM-4:00 PM (Park Guell?)




Excursion into a park, or the next flower store, to obtain some exotic flowers for scrutiny and inspiration. Explore the plants morphology and anatomy in order to understand the underlying rules of floralforms. Introduce a specific language and vacabulary to the course in terms of correct terminology out of the field of Botany: Whorls, sepals, petals, filaments, ovarys, stem, pollen etc.

TASK: Flowerstore

5:00 PM-6:00 PM (ESARQ-Barcelona)


The task of the course will be the design of a flowerstore, including plans, sections, renderings, and in best case animation. Th plans should include an idea of the assembly and fabrication approach as well as an outline on the used materials.

----- Tuesday, February 19 -----

Concept Development


10:00 AM-12:00 PM (ESARQ-Barcelona)

Create a Moodboard depicting the approach of the project. The Moodboard should contain information about the chosen Terminology, the Morphogenetic Idea as well as representations of possible sensibilities and the opportunities provided by the chosen approach.



Lunchtalk on Rigorosity, Geometry and Fabrication

2:00 PM-3:00 PM (ESARQ Barcelona)


Rigorosity, Geometry and Fabrication. What´s their relation. What the heck should we care about rigorosity, right? Well the rigor in the program is applied as a way to obtain three things within the course: 1: Discipline in the creation of a discoursive argument. 2: Precision and cleanness in the geometry of the created components of the architectural entity 3: Resulting out of the precise geometry of the object, a faccilitation of the digitaly controlled fabrication process, wether this is 3D printing, CNC Milling or Lasercutting.

Digital Pinup: Moodboard

3:30 PM-5:30 PM (ESARQ Barcelona)


Digital Pinup of the Moodboards of the different groups: The pinup is not printed but just projected on the wall via videobeamer. We will discuss the approaches. Every group has about 10 minutes for the presentation and discussion.
Post Moodboards into the Blog

----- Wednesday, February 20 -----
