Join the MetaMatter Workshop: ReCoding Waste into Structure!
Are you ready to explore the intersection of design, sustainability, and computational creativity? The MetaMatter: ReCoding Waste into Structure workshop is here to challenge your perspective on materiality and fabrication! Hosted by Gebze Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, this workshop will push the boundaries of digital and physical design while transforming waste into structural innovations.
Why Join?
In today’s world, rethinking waste is more important than ever. This workshop provides a unique opportunity for participants to engage with computational design tools, digital fabrication methods, and collaborative design approaches. Whether you’re an architecture student, a designer, or a researcher, this hands-on experience will enhance your skills and broaden your design perspective.
Workshop Structure
The program consists of three exciting phases:
Phase 1: From Physical to Digital – Waste Autopsy (March 8, in-person) Understand waste as a material and analyze its structural potential through digital tools.
Phase 2: In Digital – Computational Prototype Grammar (March 9, online) Learn computational methods to redefine waste in digital environments using parametric design tools.
Phase 3: From Digital to Physical – Collective Construction (March 22, in-person) Experience hands-on fabrication techniques and collectively build a structure using digitally processed waste materials.
How to Apply?
Submit your portfolio between March 1-6.
Basic knowledge of Rhino/Grasshopper is required.
The quota is limited to 25 participants, so apply early!
This workshop is led by an expert team of tutors and offers a great chance to experiment with digital design, sustainability, and innovative fabrication. Don’t miss this opportunity to redefine waste as a valuable design element!
For application details, stay tuned!
