X|Atelier is organizing three international
intensive workshops of Advanced Architectural Design. The X|A Summer Workshops
2014 are led by X|A principals Erick Carcamo (SCI-ARC& UPenn) and Nefeli
Chatzimina (USC, NTUA), both Allumni Graduates of Columbia University in New
York City.
X|A Athens Workshops I&II are organized
under the auspices of the Hellenic Institute of Architecture and the Athens
School of Fine Arts. Selected Participants will attend the computation design
workshops, academic lectures, final reviews and exhibition at Benaki Museum of
Athens from 30th of June -11th of July 2014 or from the 14th -25th of July
2014. Daily meetings will take place from 10am to 6pm at the Benaki Museum of
Pireos 138 in Athens.
X|A Innsbruck Workshop III is hosted by the
University of Innsbruck. Selected Participants will attend the computation
design workshops, academic lectures, final reviews and exhibition at the
University of Innsbruck from the 28th of July - 7th of August. Daily meetings
will take place from 10am to 6pm at the University of Innsbruck.
As part of an ongoing academic research,
X|A workshops introduce participants into contemporary discussions of formal
exploration in Architecture and Art. Through technical attainment of design and
digital production the X|A Workshops give the opportunity to students of
Architecture and Art, Professional Architects, Designers and Artists to
challenge new design territories. Our goal is to explore innovative, potential
architectural expressions of the current discourse around Form through
computational tools (Autodesk MAYA). We will focus on technique elaboration,
material intelligence, formal logic efficiencies and precision assemblies as an
ultimate condition of design. The workshop will develop and investigate the
notion of proficient geometric variations at a level of complexity, so that
questions towards geometrical effectiveness, accuracy and performance can begin
to be understood in a contemporary setting. The workshop is a discourse based
in the use of multi-layered techniques and production processes that allow for
control over intelligent geometries, calibration of parts, and behavioral
taxonomies, normalizing an innovative held of predictability.
X|Atelier was founded in 2007 by Erick
Cárcamo and Nefeli Chatzimina ::X|A:: is an architectural practice based in the
use of multi-layered experimental techniques and production processes networked
in Europe, US and Latin America. Both hold a Master’s of Science in Advanced
Architectural Design from Columbia University and have graduated from SCI_Arc
and N.T.U.Athens respectively. Their teaching expertise extends to Sci-Arc,
University of Southern California, Columbia University, Yale SOA, UPenn, Pratt
Institute, University of Kentucky, Die Angewandte, N.T.U.Athens and LTH in
Sweden. X|A’s work has been internationally published and exhibited at
galleries in New York, Los Angeles, London, Lexington and Barcelona. Their
working experience is held in offices of Bernard Tschumi Architects in New
York, CoopHimmelb(l)au in Vienna, Asymptote NYC and Xefirotarch LA.
