DESIGN MAKE FESTIVAL


LAUNCHING TURENSCAPE ACADEMY’S FIRST DESIGN MAKE FESTIVAL


In October 2017, Turenscape Academy (TA) launched its first Design-Make Festival, a 9-day event hosted at our newly completed campus in Xixinan, Anhui.

Design teams from visiting universities and independent students focused on designing and building a series of material installations, built on TA’s campus.

Emphasizing a comprehensive, integrated and multi-disciplinary approach to design, each workshop group is led by an internationally-recognized expert

in their field, and taught by a team of motivated designers and scholars. We are especially grateful for expert teams from The University of Hong (Hong Kong),

Tongji University (Shanghai), National Taipei University of Technology (Taipei) and Feng Chia University (Taichung).


Design Teams Participated on these three areas of material production


* COMPOSITE BAMBOO AND CONCRETE SHELL STRUCTURES

EVENTS

This 9-day event comprised the following pedagogic events:
• A major introductory SYMPOSIUM event, with keynote lectures and panel discussions
• Concurrent DESIGN-BUILD WORKSHOPS, on computation and building a material installation
• FINAL PRESENTATION & CONFERENCE, concluded with a series of keynote lectures and a final review with invited critics and lecturers

Open to the public, individuals or groups were invited to join the Design-make Festival.


SKILLS AND OUTCOMES

The emphasis of these design-build projects will be on the combination of high tech computational design techniques combined with low-techconstruction

methods and materials. The goal is to work towards researching and discovering new ways in which design intelligence can be migrated from advanced design

tools to innovating upon standard modes of on-site manufacturing and assembly processes. In a first stage of work, the teaching of skills in Rhinoceros 3D

modeling software, and plug-ins, including grasshopper, among others, followed by a second stage of building a distinct material structure such as a pavilion,

enclosure or exterior furnishing.
