“Streetware III investigates the opportunity to create a water dialogue between the urbanity of George Town UNESCO Heritage site and the coastal zone. The existing character of the place would guide the propositional vision that would aim towards a more attractive and sensitive city profile.” – Naiara Vegara
Streetware Penang AA Research Programme has been a three year journey in ¨The Pearl of Orient¨, the island of Penang since the summer of 2012. Each year’s research exploration was captured in publications that focused on three challenges: George Town UNESCO Heritage site, the urban edge to the core and the costal edge. Streetware aims to strengthen the Cultural, Architectural and Urban qualities of the place through contextual design methodologies.
Architectural Association
Visiting School Programme
“The AA Visiting School provides an opportunity for visiting students, young architects, recent graduates and other creative individuals to participate in the AA in a form that emulates the school’s famed ‘unit system’ – that is, through a highly focused short course pursuing a shared agenda of collaborative design, study, research and performance on subjects at the forefront of architectural discourse.
Established in 2008, the Visiting School’s only constant characteristic has been its experimental approach to architectural education. Agendas, places, people and programmes are continually reinvented.
Whether your interests lie in analogue or digital modelling, 2D or 3D production there is a myriad of mediums at your disposal allowing you to forge your own path in locations from Paris to Penang, from Beijing to Bogotá.
As we look back at the wide range of work completed this year by the different AA Visiting Schools we also look forward with excitement to what lies ahead for the future growth and reinvention of our global workshops.”
