Postmodern hyperspace’s capitalist society works within different speeds of production - signs, signifiers, simulacra and real virtualities rule. Space becomes scape. Digital film is believed to be able to cope with this accelerated mode of production. The workshops suggest to open up towards a realm of perceptive construction of possibilities, rendering them visible and believable to the viewer’s eye. In particular they deal with how the ubiquity of imagery and specifically the moving image changes how architecture is consumed at the moment and consequently projected into the future. Workshops include a lecture, software introduction, group tutorials and a crit on the final day. The workshops' aim consists in rethinking architecture as a construction of perception: The architect/ the camera is part of the scheme shaping it by viewing from a specific point of view, at a specific point in time. Students are introduced to digital film via the so called 2 ½ d technique, consisting in a refined layered-up combination of photoshop and after effects, and basic audio editing. workshops Oct 2010 --- "viewing", Architectural Association, Inter 3, London - tutors: Nannette Jackowski and Ricardo de Ostos Feb 2010 --- "2 1/2 D space", Architectural Association, Inter 3, London - tutors: Nannette Jackowski and Ricardo de Ostos Feb 2010 --- "polyark: spaces being layered through time", De Montfort University Leicester - tutors: Sara Shafiei and Ben Cowd Jan 2010 --- "AA speed stop" , Architectural Association, 1st years, London - tutors: Valentin Bontjes van Beek, David Greene, Samantha Hardingham, Tobias Klein, Robert Stuart-Smith, Nicholas Puckett, Martina Schäfer Nov 2008 --- "manufactured spaces for the moving image" , ADS1, Royal College of Art, London - tutors: Tobias Klein and Roberto Bottazzi lectures Jan 2010 --- "real life and other realities" workshop opening lecture at AA and Feb 2010 at DMU and AA Jan 2009 --- "slow sculpture" at Urban Design masters programme, Bartlett, London Jan 2009 --- "(nomadic) limits.borders.boundaries", "lunchtime lecture series" AA, London Nov 2008 --- "simulation and simulacra", workshop opening lecture,Royal College of Art, ADS1, London since 2007 Guest Critic at Bartlett School of Architecture, London; Royal College of Art, London; Southbank University, London; Ecole Spatiale d'Architecture, Paris; Innsbruck University, Studio 3;
