kiev UKRAINEKOKKUGIA This project reconsiders the monument as object, instead positing the formation of an immersive space of remembrance, a space that emerges from the landscape and is carved from within a somber stone monolith – an inverted monument. The project explores the emergence of a space, rich with intricate detail, reflecting the culmination of individual differences within a multitude

yeosu KOREACOLLABORATION AND CONTEXT
This project is the result of a collaboration between EMERGENT and KOKKUGIA, intended to capitalize on both shared sensibilities as well as individual expertise. It is an exploration of messy computation in the sense that the project is the result of moving in and out of the realms of designing and scripting. It represents a loose, open-ended way of working that biases effects over self-justifying processes. -
athens GREECEAhylo lab in collaboration with supermanoeuvre and kokkugia are pleased to announce the launch of the apomechanes 2010 studio (seminar and workshop) to be held in Athens this summer, from the 19th of July till the 6th of August.
Apomechanes is an intensive 3-week computational design studio held each summer in Athens, Greece. The studio is devoted to furthering techniques and concepts of algorithmic processes as means for design and fabrication.
Apomechanes brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds and fields of study to discuss, exchange and collaborate on projects that investigate modes of algorithmic and machinic processes in architectural design. -
athens GREECEApomechanes 2009 was held in the ex machina theater (από μηχανής θέατρο), located in the center of Athens. This 3 week computational architecture studio explored algorithmic design and fabrication techniques, culminating in the construction of a series of installations at Bios, a contemporary art space in Athens. These projects explored non-linear design methodologies through the development of recursive and self-organising algorithms.
Apomechanes is held annually over summer in Greece and is directed by Ezio Blasetti, Dave Pigram and Roland Snooks.

megan MAGRAW/Dave SAUNDERS/nh RATHER : An examination of algorithmic morphology based on the transformation of agent based growth. as the agents evolve, cohesion factors cause bundling, forming structural characteristics as agents bind together. the result is a series of fibrous strands developing a dialogue between structural and inhabitable space.

liwen MAO: this project finds potential geometries that arise within a swarm intelligence system. such bottom up systems can not only create global complex phenomena but also unexpected smaller scale forms and gives the designer more localized control within the system. the project uses curves negotiate between the hierarchies of ornament and structure based on local rules. the advantage of this methodology of form finding is that it can break the limit of human imagination and create unlimited yet reasonable forms by changing specific parameters.
