Introduction:
In this short workshop, a collaboration with students and faculty from the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), students will use the Segovian esgrafiado as a point of departure for an exploration of the possible uses of surface: its potential effects, programs, and communicative abilities. What can a surface do? How does it relate to volume, aperture and performance? What would a profound superficiality look like?
Please join us for this workshop, worth 1 ECTS, available to a maximum of 20 students of the IE University School of Architecture and Design and 10 students from the Paris study abroad program of the IIT College of Architecture
Structure:
Students will work in mixed IE/IIT teams of between 3-5 students, and will develop a small design project based on a first-hand analysis of surface treatments in Segovia, and a transformation of this 2-dimensional surface into a 3-dimensional object on the IE Segovia campus. Instruction will combine a hands-on demonstration of traditional Segovian esgrafiado, with site-exploration and studio workshops. Instruction will primarily be in English, though the program is open to students of all IE Architecture programs.
