The Design + Make Master\u2019s<br \/>\nprogramme lies at the heart of Hooke Park\u2019s architectural\u00a0experimentation, linking forestry and timber construction\u00a0through hands-on, 1:1 design and fabrication. Blending\u00a0digital design with traditional craft, it transforms the working\u00a0forest into a site of material exploration and innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the possibilities of alternate narratives, Hooke\u00a0Park is a space for prototyping futures, fearless experimentation,\u00a0and direct engagement\u2014where physical and speculative work collide. The 350-acre working woodland\u00a0at Hooke Park is owned and managed by the AA and provides\u00a0the primary source of timber for student design-build\u00a0projects, which are fabricated on-site in the campus workshops\u00a0and assembly spaces. The AA has a commitment to\u00a0the future ecological health of the Hooke Park Woodland\u00a0and are developing a 100-year strategy for its management\u00a0as part of an innovative forest research programme.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo: Tree + Truss: Integration of Natural and Engineered\u00a0Timber Systems \u2013 Architectural Association Design + Make<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the November Talk with Hooke Park (AA) (UK) &#8220;Prototyping Futures&#8221; (an event in collaboration with the Sto Stiftung) Tuesday 10\/11\/\u201926, 6.30 PM Alexianenplein 1, 9000 Ghent (Auditorium A4) Please register here.
