Digiblast is an intensive workshop that outlines digital modeling, representation and fabrication for incoming Master of Architecture students. The workshop operates as an introduction to contemporary computational geometries and digital workflows.
Instructors Danielle Willems and Ezio Blasetti explain:
“This exhibition displays the work of our incoming MArch class produced during a 10-day intensive online workshop, situated virtually in the Lower Gallery of Meyerson Hall. Students are given daily assignments that operate cumulatively towards a final project. The theme this year focused on the design of a Climbing Folly located adjacent to the Philadelphia Museum and Schuylkill River. The exhibition is built upon the free platform at.studio that creates a 3D collaborative online virtual space.
Digiblast operates through daily hands-on tutorials with expert guidance for developing skills in Explicit, Parametric & Associative 3D Modeling, Drawing, Rendering, and Animation & Physical Output through Digital Fabrication. These tutorials look at 3D modeling both as descriptive geometric representations and as data visualizations through a series of ‘canonical’ architectural projects. The projects are organized in a series of Conceptual and Geometric Spaces: Euclidean, Projective, Differential, Topological, Vector, Simulation and Voxel.”
