Cocoon: A Computational Design Workshop

This 3-day workshop in Department of Architecture in METU includes but not limited to crash courses on computational design steamed by STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics), collaborative working environment, and unlimited coffee. The tools shown in the workshop will help students complete the assignments in groups.

The international team of tutors will provide technical assistance and lead all individual projects from the initial idea to the scripting, drawing, modeling and fabrication processes. In addition to the tutorials, there will be lectures given by the visiting tutors and organizers to engage discussion on topics of digital design and fabrication.

Theme

A cocoon is your personal space which enables your rejuvenation for you to be ready to face your surrounding world. A cocoon is not only a protective shell but also is also a space for morphogenesis helping you to move from one state to another. You are expected to design your own cocoon for your next state of yourself.
