In this workshop, which is a journey of discovery to unleash creativity, the geometries of ordinary objects are analyzed. Inspired by the conceptual framework of Calculations and Coincidences, the workshop digitizes random linear forms made of black wooden sticks and toothpicks. Guided by basic design principles, the patterns created by combining them together turn into impressive compositions.

The shrines that created the glory of Constantinople through their lavish beauty were also repositories of precious relics and thus sources of healing.
Beliefs surrounding illness and healing in Byzantium stem from the myths, astrology, and magic practiced around the Mediterranean by Jews, Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and Greeks.
The Greek god Apollo and his son Asklepios presided over the realm of medicine and healing. Apollo was also the god of light and sun, whose solar symbolism and association with medicine would become linked to Christ the Physician, and the resurrected.
