Digital Surgery
Workshop- Jose Carlos Lopez Cervantes
EMERGENT TERRITORIES IAAC
Barcelona/Spain
This 3 days
workshop will explore digital techniques to create monstrosity from benign
form. Sophisticated surgery techniques will be observed as an evolution of the
traditional assembly in architecture. Micro interventions will be understand as
a catalog of possible connections. Computational design methods will be use to
implement surgery actions like cutting, carving, trimming, sawing, grafting,
stitching...
Students will navigate in between the thresholds of
the horrific-becoming-beautiful and the beautiful-becoming-horrific (grotesque)
exploring the possibilities of the new mutant tissue to generate form/façade as
an autonomous entity that will emanate from the outside to the inside of the
tissue of the city.
