Designing the Dynamic
Design the Dynamic Workshop 2011
Watch the video about the workshop.
Designing the Dynamic brought together architects and other built environment designers with specialists from sail design, sailing, mathematics, engineering, and material science to immerse them in the extreme dynamic context of sailing and sail boat design
In sailboat racing tiny increments in boat performance are critical to the chance of winning. Recorded and tacit knowledge of the experienced sailor are as critical to success as scientific analysis. The fastest route is never the shortest.
Architects, engineers, designers, mathematicians were invited to sharpen their wits together by considering the playoff of hydrofoil and aerofoil, vessel and team behaviour and decision-making.
The aim was to build virtual and physical simulation tools and design prototypes that represented the complex trade offs in ways that supported intuitive design decision-making.
