Kompleksne Morfologije je naziv četvorodnevne radionice, van nastavnog progamama Arhitekotnskog fakulteta Univerziteta u Beogradu, na temu algoritmičkog dizajna i upotrebu multi-agent dizajn metodologija. Fokus radionice će biti na primeni ne-linearnog dizajna, baziranog na konceptu Object Oriented Design-a (OOD), u cilju stvaranja kompleksne arhitektonske materije.  Primenjujući metode agent-based dizajna i swarm intelligence u raličitim razmerama, od makro volumena do površinskih detalja, Kompleksne Morfologije će se fokusirati na rezultujuća svojstva dobijenih heterogenih površina i volumetrijskih ornamenata. Zadatak je ispitati potencijal korišćenja algoritamskih tehnika i tema kao što su “emergence”, “distributed design intelligence” i “swarm behavior”.

Radionica je digitalnog formata i kao primarni softver za simulaciju agent-based protokola, koristiće se Processing, uz upotrebu Softimage-ICE-a i ZBrush-a u procesu postprodukcije. Cilj je upoznati studente sa metodologijom i tehnikama algoritamskog dizajna i proceduralnog modelovanja, kroz upotrebu i adaptaciju unapred pripremljenih skripti i osposobiti ih za dalji samostalni rad. Rad u toku radionice je grupni i svaki tim (3-4 studenta) će uspostaviti sopstveni protokol – agent behavior koji će razvijati u toku radionice.

Radionica je otvorena za sve studente Master studija Arhitektonskog Fakulteta. Od studenata se očekuju prisustvo i rad u toku celog dana. Prethodno znanje iz programiranja nije neophodno. Aplikacije slati na adresu: complex.morphologies@gmail.com. U aplikaciju uključiti kratko motivaciono pismo i reprezentativne slike dosadasnjeg rada (do 3 strane ukupno). Broj mesta u radionici je ograničen na 16. U slučaju većeg broja prijava, odabir će se vršiti na osnovu kvaliteta aplikacija.
Complex Morphologies is a 4 day workshop on generative algorithmic design and use of agent-based design methodologies. The workshop will focus on the application of non-linear design strategies, based on the concept of Object Oriented Design (OOD), in order to create highly complex architectural fabric. Applying agency on multiple scales and layers, from volumetric formations to local surface conditions, Complex Morphologies  will be focusing on the emergent qualities of these heterogeneous meshes and volumetric ornaments, embracing controlled errors and noise in the design process. The goal is to explore the potential of algorithmic design techniques and topics like “emergence”, “distributed design intelligence” and “swarm behavior”.
During the workshop, we will be using Processing as the primary software for simulation of agent protocols, with the addition of Softimage/ICE and Z-Brush during the process of post-production. The goal is to introduce students to techniques and methodologies of algorithmic design and procedural modeling, through the use and customization of pre-made scripts and enable them for further individual work. All the work will be conducted in groups (3-4 students) and each group will establish a unique agent behavior which will be developed during the workshop.

The workshop is open for all graduate students from the Belgrade Faculty of Architecture. Students are expected to attend the workshop full-time. Previous programming experience is not necessary. Please email your application to: complex.morphologies@gmail.com and include short motivation letter and several images representing your work (up to 3 pages). Number of students in the workshop is limited to 16. In case of larger number of applications, selection will be done based on the quality of application.
