Void is typically defined as null, invalid, empty or redundant and has a psychological perception of a ‘negative’. Through years of development in India, there has been an organic urban growth and inorganic architectural growth which has led to formation of voids in a physical and a metaphorical sense. There also exist voids as gaps between architecture, cities, education and technology. ‘Filling The Void’ looks at void as an opportunity, potential and a driver of change for architecture & design education in India.

rat[LAB] EDUCATION (UK/INDIA), in association with Super-Architects(S//A) (USA) & all its collaborators, launches a new educational model by floating an open design studio that can potentially change the way we conceive spaces within architectural & urban systems and the way architectural education is imparted in the country. We aim to ‘fill the void’ through ‘computation’ and its numerous techniques and methodologies. Voids are interpreted as opportunities of dynamic amalgamation of ideas, spaces and society and to weave the existing disintegrated systems in a city through a series of computational explorations.

// Studio // Workshops // SymposiaThe experimental studio will run across 5 cities in India and investigate the agenda of ‘filling the void’ streamed into two categories / scales / typologies: architecture and urban, through the use of computation and parametric methods. The agenda will be tested across 5 distinct urban contexts / settings leading to diverse spatial, programmatic and structural formations. Studio is designed as a 3-day event in each city comprising of technical tutorials, teaching sessions & presentations culminating in a symposium / round-table conference / open discussion with leading / emerging professionals that demonstrate computation, parametric design or alternative techniques in their work / practice / academia. The month long tour culminates in New Delhi and selected work of 125+ participants from different cities will be showcased in an exhibition in the capital. A compendium / book will be published later in 2015 to highlight the experimental work that will be carried out in this tour. Architecture students and professionals are encouraged to participate in workshops / studio of their desired city and contribute to the larger agenda of ‘filling the void’. // Teaching Methodology // Tools//Studio is structured to teach participants the use of computational techniques through Grasshopper® (Generative modelling plug-in for Rhino®) and ways to integrate it with architectural & urban systems.//No previous knowledge of Grasshopper & Rhinoceros is required for these workshops as basic technical knowledge will be provided on Day 1.//Pre-designed customizable tools will be provided by rat[LAB] on Day 2 for design explorations & experimentation.//The studio is flexible to basic, intermediate & advanced users of computation.

rat[LAB] EDUCATION is an initiative by rat[LAB] to start a new discourse in architecture & parallel design disciplines with the use of ‘computational design’ & it’s various subsets. Spread across various cities / countries, we are establishing a global dialogue in the domain of computational design by actively organizing and participating in workshops, lectures, presentations & symposiums. While rat[LAB] has taken a top-down approach of exploring computational design through industry, a parallel, bottom-up approach is also in-line to involve students of all levels, from design & related backgrounds.

Dhruv Seth Founder // Studio Node

A collective to inform growing needs of design from object to space. We believe design has unspoken avenues, we attempt to address them using computational and anthropometric tools. We consider good design is informed design , informed about the context, time and user. Our world is made of conscious & sub conscious design decisions. Node became a natural reflex of what we see around us, people from various walks of life coming together to fuse into each others specialisation and become one with the project. Node comes from the Latin word “Nodus” meaning “knot”. Knot is a problem and more importantly holds two or more ends together. Dealing with various scales of design connecting fabricators dealing with different walks of life.

Empty Item – An orange wire type indicates that no information is transferred. This parameter generates a warning message because it contains no data, and no information is being sent across wire.

List – If the information flowing out of a component contains a list of information, the wire type will be shown as a grey double line.

Tree – Information transferred between components which contain a data structure will be shown in a grey double-line-dash wire type.

Single Item – The data flowing out of any parameter that contains a single item will be shown with a solid grey line.

Default Display – The default wire display will draw all connections (if fancy wires is turned on).

Hidden Display – When hidden display is selected, the wire will be completely ‘invisible’. The data is transferred ‘wirelessly’ from the source to the input parameter. If you select the source or target component, a green wire will appear to show you which components are connected to each other. Once you deselect the component, the wire will disappear

Faint Display – The faint wire display will draw the wire connection as a very thin, semi-transparent line. Faint and Hidden wire displays can be very helpful if you have many source wires coming into a single input.

Node comes from the Latin word "Nodus" meaning "knot". Knot is a problem and more importantly holds two or more ends together. We are a team of young architects focused towards informed design. Having varied interests from computational design to material exploration, we love to be in a motivational environment with constantly evolving ideas. We get inspired by travellers, typographers, foodies, architects, management gurus to truth seekers. We believe design has unspoken avenues and attempt to address them using computational and anthropometric tools. Being different in all our projects is not our focus, its merely a result of intense care for each project and client in its unique context.

dMac is the experimental design group with young minds working towards providing a progressive design culture by creating collaborative design platforms and enabling nonstandard artefacts in the domain of art, architecture and design. 'dMac' is passionate about leveraging technology by creating platforms for exchange at the intersection of design and education. The group seeks to influence how we think about design by contaminating design education with new vocabularies in design expressions.

Space + Lab architecture is a multi- discipline with a core team of Architects and Designers having passion for creating built forms that responds to the environment and people it touches. They believe in the power of design to elevate people’s lives and are committed to doing everything necessary to deliver environments that outperform their clients’ expectations, now and in the future. They are creating prototypical design systems which are program and performance driven. Agenda of social semiotics allows interactive/digital design system to challenge the conventional methods of designing. A building is developed from communications and relationships between people rather than visual composition of the geometrical shapes.

Mutation design lab is a design lab cum studio, founded in 2012 by Nitant Hirlekar, exploring design methods/techniques through research with help of computational processes, material explorations, digital fabrication etc. Researching each project in great detail, use of innovative ideas and technology, careful choice of materials, are parameters of our work, allowing us to deliver personalised results for every client. By amalgamation of research, creativity and technology Mutation D-Lab attempts to create new and unique experiences. For us each design project is like creating a new design paradigm and setting new standards.

S O F T W A R E P A R T N E R SRhinoceros (typically abbreviated Rhino, or Rhino3D) is a commercial 3D computer graphics and computer-aided design (CAD) application software developed by Robert McNeel & Associates, a privately held, employee-owned company that was founded in 1980 in the United States. Rhino can create, edit, analyze, document, render, animate, and translate NURBS* curves, surfaces, and solids, point clouds, and polygon meshes. There are no limits on complexity, degree, or size beyond those of your hardware.

R E S O U R C E & M E D I A P A R T N E R S

The mission of SUPER // ARCHITECTS is simple: challenge what’s now and embrace the unrealized. The primary goal is to create an international dialogue within a diverse network of students, scholars, professors, advocates, and critical thinkers of spatial design, that is absent from the professional world; for the shear purpose of “critically challenging what architecture is, what it can be, and how it may be represented furthermore realized…”

Young Architects (Yarch) is an organisation which aims to connect and support young talents by creating a network in which young professionals will have the opportunity to communicate and exchange ideas. This platform will be publishing a selection of the most interesting examples of design and architecture culture nowadays. A source which will be providing the most worth reading information, interviews, news, projects and surveys.

Yarch formed an experimental workshop; its aim was to bring young designers from different backgrounds together, to work under an intensive program. The outcome of that, gave the initiative for this network to be expanded, in order to continue infiltrating the concept of exchanging ideas.

For designers who are exploring new shapes using generative algorithms, Grasshopper® is a graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhino’s 3-D modelling tools. Unlike RhinoScript, Grasshopper requires no knowledge of programming or scripting, but still allows designers to build form generators from the simple to the awe-inspiring.
