Today's lecture, with Carol Moukheiber, will discuss special topics while showcasing some of her projects at 4:30 pm at ALH in AUB.
The IAAC GSS is a platform defined by ambitious, multi-scalar investigation on the implications of emergent techniques in our planned environment.
GSS Beirut will tackle the issue of the environment’s toxicity and pollution levels through interpreting and communicating real-time data (RTD). The workshop will utilize existing data and collected information to engage in a 1:1 installation on a select site in Beirut, using sensorial and digitized tools. Students will get the chance to work with interactive design, digital fabrication and computerized sensors to produce the full scale intervention.
