Post-McQueen embryos - Haute (cul)ture | AA School Paris March '12
Alexander McQueen (1969-2010) was one of the most influential and provocative designers of his generation. His clothing challenged the generic and conventional parameters of fashion to express culture, politics, identity. McQueen saw beyond clothing design physical constraints its ideological and conceptual possibilities, addressing questions related to race, gender, religion, sexuality and environment. During AA School Paris Spring 2012, McQueen’s evolutionary design will act as prompts for embryos’ naissance within the [Fashion+Architecture] body of work.
Within a framework of 10 days-germination, AA school Paris participants will take part of a collective embryo-genesis engaging McQueen’s DNA and legacy onto a novel and crucial debate about fashion in the Post-McQueen Era.
Featuring the most iconic and radical designs of his prolific career, AA embryos will grow and develop a self-intelligent état d’âme informed by a set of social, contextual, operational and performative parameters, such as: mass production driven by advanced capitalism; temperature variations in the globe, clothes’ adaptability in urban milieus, among other.
Post-McQueen Embryos seeks to eradicate the non-responsiveness within clothing design by reviewing Alexander McQueen’s alienated proportions, aiming at busting fashion design out of its commercial destination. Intended to become a design research laboratory, AA School Paris ultimate target is to keep growing the potential for meshing both disciplines [Fashion+Architecture] onto a digital/ physical cross-over studio helping to reaffirm AA School Paris research material.
The Paris Experience
Discussions, debates and lectures will take place on site with expertise on a day to day basis. By placing fashion designers at the centre of the process, the workshop seeks to challenge much more than just clothing design. At the core of Spring 2012 our solely goal is of consolidating the AA emerging discipline: bodily-architecture.
Post Mc-Queen Embryos is strengthened by a large network of Parisian Patronage, from industrial, publishing and collaborative links, taking the form of sponsoring inputs to the course.
The workshop is open to current architecture and design students, PHD candidates and young professionals. All applicants should submit a CV and portfolio to Jorge Ayala at info@ayarchitecture.com

Object Oriented Eclectism workshop - Sint Lucas Gent - MMLAB

Object Oriented Eclecticism (OOE)
Brief: Speculative Media & Materiality
Media and Matter
The advent of digital media has radically impacted the way we design. Media is still widely seen as an immaterial, virtual thing, distant from the real, analog world, disconnected from matter and materiality. At the same time, digital media is highly political and mobilizing, it is a cultural agent with a global impact on society. Matter and materiality are considered real, analog things, but are understood as a-cultural and a-political. Our neo-capitalist network society seems to create an ever increasing gap between the concepts of media and matter. Digital media are used to opress representational from on matter, but at the same time losing the political and social context inherent to media itself. Set within an Object Oriented approach, this workshop proposes that matter and media are actually not that different from each other, on the contrary, they can be understood as one and the same thing. Through the notion of Object-Oriented Design (OOD), this workshop will try to reconnect matter and media, speculating about concepts as broad and diverse as interaction, formation, physics, simulation, material affect, politics and programming.
Object Oriented Eclecticism
The workshop proposes non-linear methodologies based on the concept of Object-Oriented Design (OOD). OOD is a new paradigm in contemporary philosophy, physics, computer programming and critical theory and can be understood as the process of planning a system of interacting objects for the purpose of solving a specific problem. In contrast to contemporary thought and design, which views things as the aggregation or assembly of smaller bits and parts, in OOD new objects emerge out of an ecology of interaction of multiple and heterogeneous objects and concepts. Highly differentiated and contradictory concepts and structures can become one object, without resulting in an incongruous collage. OOD is fundamentally eclectic, it is a conceptual approach that does not hold rigidly to a single paradigm or set of assumptions, but instead draws upon multiple theories and ideas to gain complementary insights into a subject, applying different theories in particular cases. This matter-based approach is post-geometrical. Geometry onlyappears at the end of the process as a result of formation, rather than at the start, as a predefined representation.
Collective Virtuosity
Participants will form small teams of two to three persons. Each team will develop an “object” in Processing with a specific material behavior and interaction to the other team’s objects. The objects together will, through mutual adaptation, give rise to a new, emergent object. The workflow is as eclectic and rigourous as the character of OOD: we will simulate and design objects in processing, and tweak their specific behaviors and interaction. We will establish a communication between processing and modelling packages, where objects will be further adapted, studied and detailled. At the same time, the physical process and behavior we organise in processing will be fabricated through actual material experiments. Arduino will be used to embed intend and agency in the material simulations. The workshop is equally digital and analog, equally simulated and fabricated. Through its object-oriented approach, this workshop establishes a new form of authorship and teamwork, a “collective virtuosity”.
Diorama
The final goal of the workshop is to generate a number of objects that will constitute a detailled and architectural proposal, which will be prototyped in a diorama environment. Each team will work on a set diorama of 1.0x0.4x0.3 m, which is a 1:33 representation of an existing public space somewhere in Ghent. The prototypes will be exhibited at the specific location they simulate and should establish an engagement with the public across different scales.

Cristalline Solid
Based on the geometry of the iconic Aalto vase of 1937 this serie reimplements a functional object as stand alone design piece.
This design balances on the edge in-between functionality, digital aesthetics, mass customisation and object Oriented Eclecticism. In contrast to contemporary thought and design, which views things as the aggregation or assembly of smaller bits and parts, in Object Oriented Design new objects emerge out of an ecology of interaction of multiple and heterogeneous objects. Through a process of formation or computation, highly differentiated, contradictory concepts and structures can become one object, without resulting in an incongruous collage.
The use of contemporary production techniques as 3d printing offers this design a substantial relevance, since it is designed throughout a series of semi automated steps. This would enable the creation of several variations of this classical design piece, with the advantage of being able to print out customised vases on demand. All slightly different in erosion type or crystalline formations. Always following the same design rules, production time and all for approximately the same price. Economically this makes a lot of sense since their would not be any overstock needed like in other production methods, where prices only go down depending on a large amount of produced items.
