Fractals x Revival presents a hands-on workshop exploring generative design through the use of vernacular materials. It is a 3D thinking workshop in which participants work in teams and develop algorithms that are demonstrated through geometric aggregation models, resulting in large-scale installations. The workshop can be attended by enthusiasts of design, art, making and mathematics, as well as local craft and vernacular architecture.
At Dubai Design Week, the two-day workshop will focus on local material and application of indigenous craft with the use of palm leaf components. At the end of the workshop, the resulting installations will be displayed in an exhibition.
Participants may be of any age-group or background, and may apply in groups or individually. If you’re interested, please RSVP by messaging us on this page. More details about the final date and time, as well as workshop fees will be released soon.
