YEARBOOK 2018 - 2019 | XJTLU DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
The sixth edition of the yearbook of the Department of Architecture at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University presents student works created during the academic year 2018 - 2019. The yearbook exemplifies the new model for Chinese architectural education for which the department was commended by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). It is also a showcase of the creative culture that has guided our students towards successful international careers as responsible and creative architectural designers. The Department of Architecture at XJTLU offers RIBA Part 1, 2 and 3.

The five-day workshop was part of a series of hands-on workshops run<br />
by the Department to give students practical experience with industry<br />
professionals.<br />
The workshop on algorithm-aided design was led by Clemens Preisinger,<br />
developer of the parametric structural engineering tool Karamba3D, and<br />
Matthew Tam, Preisinger’s colleague at European structural engineering<br />
consultancy firm Bollinger + Grohmann. The workshop introduced<br />
students to Karamba3D use in the design phase of a project.<br />
Karamba3D is a parametric, interactive Finite Element program being<br />
developed in cooperation with Bollinger + Grohmann Engineers in<br />
Vienna. Its dissemination is an effort of an interdisciplinary team of<br />
architects, structural engineers, researchers and programmers.<br />
Karamba3D allows architects and engineers to test a wide range of<br />
possibilities in an early design phase, avoiding time-consuming and<br />
manual process. With the support of the software students were able<br />
to easily calculate the behaviour of a building and the reaction of the<br />
structure to different elements. Moreover, students were able to show<br />
how the digital model can be transformed into something physical by<br />
building a physical model of the structure designed with Karamba3D at<br />
the end of the workshop.<br />
