Jorge AYALA: The existential crisis happening in the last years offered new potentials of engaging with art, culture and technology. Within this context, Jorge Ayala’s Cabinet of Post-digital Curiosities offers different directions to today’s rapid prototyping society culture. As a critical position to the so-called parametricism, the installation reverses the sterile and monochrome of the “digital legacy,” toward a post-digital instance were computational operates as the outset, rather than the outcome.

In history shoes have become the accessory defining creative freedom, identity, cultural affiliations, social identities and in some cases architectural knowledge. This semester, AAtelier Paris has set the ambitious goal to encourage its participants to think about the current and future role of shoes by engaging with new forms of unexpected culture.

WORKSHOP AGENDA: Post-9/11, Post-Tsunamis, Post-Earthquakes, Post-Olympics, Post-Hadid; Post- McQueen.

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.

jorge AYALA: Skin is an organic self-structure, an artificial corpus overlapping meshing systems and subsystems, inhabiting space and challenging its perception. Skin was conceived as a computational design, based on emerging logics of construction and manufacturing. Large Scale CNC along with high tech matters and other techniques will be employed to rapid prototype and assemble this processual design.
