Rome summer School Previous Workshops
Rome summer school started 2015 in Waterloo University Rome program and transferred to Sapienza University of Rome 2016, and continues each summer until now. It has an advanced computational approach that enables designers and architects to overcome the imposition of prefixed architectural forms in order to enhance performance-driven design and responsive kinetic solutions that interact with humans and environment.
Lectures on parametric design simulation, generative and form finding as well as Kinetic responsive design, analyzing and digital fabrication prototyping, are integrated together in 3 main modules. Students from the beginning of the school will be divided into groups to compete on a case project increasing their ability to define project parameters, design factors, solving problems, understanding factors relationships, involving environmental and human sensors, and optimizing their projects solutions in smart and inelegance way.
