Entre Escalas Workshop is a on going event that started on May 5th. It has engaged subjects of parametric design, digital fabrication and the issue of scale on the creation of a urban furniture to be implemented at the Spanish Square (Praça da Espanha) in the neighborhood of Batel, in Curitiba – Brazil. The name “Entre Escalas (In Between Scales)” was very suggestive, as the furniture had to serve the children as a playground during the day, and the adults as kind of bleachers for a jazz show in the evening. The Students had a series of lectures on the subject, computational classes (Rhino + Grasshopper) with Ernesto Bueno and Lucas Kodama, followed by a intense design competition. Was also present the architects and tutors Gustavo Ultrabo, Pedro Duschenes, Juliano Monteiro, Thiago Mundim and the engineer Ricardo Dias. A second phase of the workshop was to develop a final design that combines the best of each proposal. The students had to make prototypes addressing problems of structure, materials, assembly logic and health and safety. The final phase is yet to come, which is to build a full scale version of the furniture and place it on site. Entre Escalas Workshop is a partnership between L-E-G group, Atelier UM+D and CenEGAU and it has over 60 participants working hard to accomplish it. Cast: Thiago Mundim
