16:30 Introduction – reflections on the porosity and LEGO as a design tool
17:00 “Pixel Power” lecture by Winy Maas
17.30 “Pixelated Structures” by Rob Nijsse

The event is part of ‘Opening the Tower’ exhibition – open from May 16th until June 5th 2012 at the Faculty of Architecture in Delft.
‘Opening the Tower’ exhibition can be seen at the Faculty of Architecture TU Delft from the 16th of May until the 5th of June 2012. ‘Opening the Tower’ presents two sets of experiments exploring different aspects of porosity on two significantly different scales. Built with approximately one million white LEGO bricks – 676 towers on scale 1:1000 and 16 towers on scale 1:100 investigate development of possible new relationships between mass and void in large-scale architecture. The material presented at the exhibition is a result of design studio led by The Why Factory through fall semester 2011/12. The studio was developed and supervised by Prof. Winy Maas, Alexander Sverdlov and Ania Molenda in collaboration with KRADS and support from LEGO and Arup.
