Within the last decade in practice, teaching and research architecture has developed the starting point of a sound body of knowledge and skills relating to critical design and computational thinking. Working in architecture in C21 where virtual and material reality merge and construction drawings take on the form of code architecture targets the development of its expertise at the understanding …
Lecture at ICI Berlin: Towards A*cognitivist architecture
on vimeo ‘A*cognitivist Architecture – A Cybernetic Note Beyond Parametricism’ introduces first steps towards a cultural theory that discusses common ground between agent-based behavior through mechanisms of programming and coding cultures, the issue of form as a verb and not a noun as well as a strong bias to the concepts of fractals and Riemannian Manifolds, called ‘Neurotecture. Neurotecture in …
RE-ENTRY: THE ARCHITECTURE OF ARCHITECTURE AND THEIR EIGENFORMS
The architecture of architecture introduces a discussion of the common ground between agent-based behavior through mechanisms of programming and coding cultures, the issue of form as a verb and not a noun as well as a strong bias to the concepts of fractals and Riemannian Manifolds. A theory that relates to a multi-ordered cybernetic model drawing from Gregory Bateson’s thoughts …
DESIGN FOR BIODIVERSITY, CORNELL
CONFERENCE ‘DESIGN FOR BIODIVERSITY: ARCHITECTURAL RESPONSES TO URBAN ECOLOGY’ These questions offer fertile ground for experimentation in urban ecological thinking and practice, which seeks to extend access to a variety of species and systems, lending flexibility to function, and enabling more effective control of energy, material, and capital flows. This year’s Strauch symposium will address these questions by focusing on …
Codes in the clouds IV – Atrophic re-topography
TOPIC CITC IV looking at the architecture of masquerade, of the ornate veil; the architecture of reproduction and the [t]issue of Atrophic [RE]Topography. The Term ‘atrophic’ mainly is used in medicine and biology, however the material built fabric as well as the understanding of it is subject to atrophy over the centuries. We will cross over the boundary of first …
