University of Westminster BAIA students at Parsons The New School for Parallel Cities 1

Parallel Cities 1 explored the process of craft techniques combining digital and analogue media with film and physical models to uncover relationships between bodies, networks, and spaces in New York City.

The workshop brought together 8 graduate and undergraduate students from Parsons’ Temporary Environments course and 8 second year students from the University of Westminster’s BA (Hons) Interior Architecture Course. The students received training in Rhino and Grasshopper, in addition to digital fabrication processes focused on networked workflows. Individually, they developed their own site study of a portion of Long Island City, while contributing to the overall workshop goals of the design and fabrication of a larger group installation.

'Non-conformist' Guest Rooms by heri&salli, Heribert Wolfmayr and Josef Saller

The "architectural duo heri&salli... turned their backs on technological temptations to come up with a kind of 'negative design' that renders the history and original fabric of the building visible. This is seen in the exposed wooden beams and locally-made bricks that lend the rooms a cave-like atmosphere."
