I'm proud to present this postgraduate course in Italy organized by dear friends Andrea Graziano, Alessio Erioli, Elena Scripelliti, Ingrid Paoletti and Matteo Lo Prete.

From the official site:

TAC Technically Advanced Construction is a new postgraduate course for graduates and professionals sponsored by the Department of Building Environment Science and Technology (BEST), Politecnico di Milano. It will run for three months and will allow participants to achieve specific levels of knowledge in the design-to-production process through the use of advanced digital tools for design and the creation of physical models.

The entire course, based at the Polytechnic of Milan, will take place through studies, workshops and working periods assisted (during the development, manufacture and test trial) by a team of highly skilled professionals and teachers (from studies and international schools like AA London, ARUP, Buro Happold, Zaha Hadid, Gehry Technologies, SPAN Architects ...).

The objective is to design, prototype, and finally the test “multi-performative skins" through computational design software. Audits in progress performance of the "skin". will be the main feedback to optimize the final design.

The course will be completed by a series of public lectures held by the same course tutors and other professionals and teachers of international renown.

The course will start on January 17, 2011 and will end on April 17, 2011 (daily attendance).

Registration are open until December 13, 2010.

We need all your support, spread the new!!!!
