Encoding Architecture

A conference on the autonomy of architecture I code I fabrication I material morphology I robots I machinic desire and a computational theory The architect is no longer an organizer of matter and space, but a designer of systems with multi-layered components and complex relationships. [En]Coding Architecture 2013 brings together rising superstars, experienced researchers and designers to present experimental work …

FROM DATA STREAMING TO PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOR AND DYNAMIC FORM

The lecture will engage with the presentation of a two year program for adip. Forms of ubiquitous usage of smart interfaces are investigated in relation to real time data streaming, their possibilities for developing computational design strategies for a dynamic and adaptive built environment. Issues of large, urban scale and the transition to building scale and means of advanced fabrication …

THE TOPOGRAPHY OF COMPUTATIONAL ARCHITECTURE IN LIGHT OF 2ND CYBERNETICS

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 …
