"AMAL" Creative Art workshop 2016/Art, Materials and fabrication

 "AMAL" Creative Art workshop 2016 Art, Materials and fabrication workshop "AMAL" Creative Art – Materials and Fabrication Workshop. • MORE THAN 60 WORKING HOURS • MORE THAN 150 Boards • 200 SECTIONS • 4 METERS LONG * 2.6 METERS WIDTH

 Art, design and Fabrication Workshop “AMAL 2016” In the intensive 5 days full time Workshop; we focused exclusively on introducing Morphogenesis, evolving art, design and graphic, Pattern finding and optimizing complex geometry with parametric design tools “Rhino, in conjunction with economic efficiency, environmental impact.

 Participants experimented with computer design techniques, strategies, understanding of all stages from design to manufacturing.

 During the processes of the workshop, the participants started the experiments with rhino and to generate 3d panel from artistic photos, after they started to explore the capacity of the photoshop and illustrator to create the artistic photo first and then to generate the 3d panel.

 Challenged by the time of the workshop (5 intensive days) and the complexity of geometrical dependencies occurring in pins structures for the final real scale installation, real-life issues like project budget and team work and the advantage of using advanced parametric design strategies are tackled. The final 3d panel is then converted into a real by contouring the final project 2.6*4 meters into sections and then to cut the pieces and build each section from it from the selected material (Cartoon) and assemble 200 sections over each other again in real scale.

 The final presentation was during the studied performance art by the students in front of the jury board of their professors.
