rat[LAB] EDUCATION and RVS Padmavathy School of Architecture cordially invite you to the Exhibition Preview of SMART LABS 1.0 at Chennai on Saturday, 4th Aug 2018 from 6:00 PM onward. The Exhibition Showcase is FREE and OPEN TO PUBLIC, and will be good for design students and educators to see the potentials of Computational Design explored by First Batch of Smart Labs.

Students of first batch of Smart Labs 1.0 are putting together an exhibition of works carried out in the 6-month Hybrid programme focussed on Computational Design in Architecture. The showcase will demonstrate an articulation of Computational Design and Parametric Design Methods through a spatial intervention in the studio with a series of digitally fabricated prototypes and 3D printed models representing their project visions and concepts, to complement the presentation panels. A number of interactive media art installations will engage the audience to experience the untouched dimensions of space.

Smart Labs 1.0 concludes with the final session focussing on Digital Fabrication where students will create elements for showcase that brings forward the ethos of Smart Labs studio in Chennai. The works will range from Façade Design, Form Development Projects, Interactive Media Systems, Furniture Design and other Spatial Interventions developed by students through the entire semester that was spread across Chennai, Coimbatore and New Delhi. Smart Labs 2.0 admissions open up with the exhibition and is scheduled to start later in 2018, where the agenda will be taken forward by the next batch of students.

// About rat[LAB] EDUCATION
rat[LAB] EDUCATION is an initiative by rat[LAB]-Research in Architecture & Technology (www.rat-lab.org) 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 & symposia. 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.

The case of Phalke Smarak - Nashik

The case of Phalke Smarak

The essay titled, ‘The case of Phalke Smarak : Nashik’s untapped potential with existing urban public space’ – discusses how a promising urban scale public space project for Nashik city in the late 90s has slowly turned desolate, despite all the possibilities and potential the architectural design, site and overall context offers. It further tries to highlight the gap between the public and failed public spaces based on this case, and points towards public engagement for successful urban design, renewal and development. This essay by Asmita Raghuvanshy is amongst the shortlisted essays.

The Good, the Bad and the Aesthetic - Bhopal

The Good, the Bad and the Aesthetic

This essay delves into how municipal corporations envision creating Western cities (instead of responding to the Indian context) and end up creating cities that only appear to work, instead of actually being more socially inclusive, dynamic and publicly active. The Smart Cities Mission then caters only to the rich and this becomes evident in not just the visuals they use, but also the manner in which they describe their vision of a World Class Infrastructure. This essay by Avani Mittal is amongst the shortlisted essays.
