During fall 2019, the ARC Department has launched a New Distance Learning MSc Programme in Computational Design and Digital Fabrication in collaboration with the University of Innsbruck, Institute for Experimental Architecture Hochbau in Austria. As part of the programme, ARC hosted a series of events in Nicosia and Limassol.
The first event took place on December 04, 2019, at HUB Design Platform in Limassol, featuring a series of four short presentations on the thematic of Computational Design and Digital Fabrication.
The next event, which took place on December 06, 2019, was a lecture by Marjan Colletti, professor of architecture and post-digital practice, The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL and chair professor of building Design and construction and head of the institute for experimental architecture at Innsbruck University, titled «Proto – Post Digital Chrysalis».
During this concluding event, the department of architecture students also presented the unique design of the digitally fabricated Christmas tree X-MAX, which adorned the UNIC main reception entrance in December 2019. X-MAX was also relocated to Eleftheria Square, and became part of the Christmas Lighting Ceremony and the festive public decoration.
