AAST International Workshop

here some interesting pics from the AAST International Workshop in Tokyo
on the theme of innovative idea for algorithmically designed emergency wooden shelters. 
You can see the fabrication of 4 full-scale student works.
The workshop has been held on the occasion of the ALGODE 2011 Symposium - The International Symposium on Algorithmic Design for Architecture and Urban Design in Tokyo, November 2011

Kokkugia : Architecture + Urbanism

original post on trendland
COMPLEX MORPHOLOGIES by Megan Magraw, Nathaniel Rather, David Saunders

London and New York based international design practice Kokkugia operates through design, research, experimentation and teaching to develop generative design methodologies from the complex self-organising behavior of social, biological and material systems.  The images shown here are only a few examples of parametric modeling, rapid prototyping, and other numerically controlled manufacturing techniques using algorithmic design and computational geometry.
