The new homes will be used to ‘decant’ residents from the existing Robin Hood Gardens, which is due to be demolished in a future phase of the project…

Functional Art, The: An introduction to information graphics and visualization

The first Massive Open Online Course about infographics and data visualization.

(UPDATE, Oct. 13th: The Knight Center has told me that, due to server limits, they have been forced to put a cap on the amount of participants. In any case, the course will be offered again in January. This situation was unexpected, and it is due to the fact that this is the first experiment the Center does with this kind of program. They are trying to avoid server blackouts. I’ll do my best to accommodate everybody who wants to sign up by offering it as many times as needed in the next months.)

ASthought

architecture from concept to built form

 

Monday 8th October 2012 – h. 9:15 aula C
Facoltà di Architettura e Società
Politecnico di Milano

Main goal is to describe the design process, the architectural solutions and the detailing choices of a built work in a chronological order. The sequence of selected iconography for each step will be arranged into specific categories (typology, materials, elements, etc.), according standard architecture manuals, and explained through captions (140 characters in order to be able to become twitter posts). An introduction presenting the work ‘facts’, a short description of 1000 words and an essay selected among what already published, will constitute the main textual sections.

Follow the project on: asthought.polimi-cooperation.org
