CIPHER SISTEMS are coded and encrypted structures we see in nature as a phenomenon of scale. Their fractal appearance in certain morphologies, diversifying in size, is an intriguing aspect for morphogenetic design. The reappearing relationship of macro and micro patterns found in different states of physicality in a variety of environments is leading to an understanding about emergence and the connectivity between systems. Thus, the MUTATING ARCHITECTURE studio will analyse, evaluate, & decrypt reoccurring natural patterns and explore possibilities of their application on visionary scenarios in futuristic city context. . . .

adam VUKMANOV + julia KOERNER: Morphology of Biodivers[c]ity is a research project that studies form and structure in natural and biological environment of California. It was generated through 6 months residency program and scholarship at MAK Center, Los Angeles. The exhibition, held in the new gallery at Mackey apartments (design and built by Rudolph Schindler in 1939), was design as a multimedia set of results showing the morphologies of diverse natural and organic phenomenons as well as the man-made environment.

The two weeks international workshop was an introduction to this year’s ASAE2010 symposium and the topic of “Architecture and Beauty”. Sixty students were analyzing visual effects and identifying elements that are defining ”Beauty” in the eye of an observer. Further on, the focus was on imaginary atmospheric effect of capturing outer space and translating it into an architectural spatial experience in form of Ground Based Observatory.

This workshop focuses on details, on the materiality, form and coloration of details. Those details would then be amplifying to each of the buildings typologies, expanding and transforming its character to meet that of a full building enclosure. During the first part of the workshop the students worked on research and morphology.
