Make Alive Prototypes for Responsive Architectures

Make Alive Prototypes for Responsive Architectures

Edited by Rodolphe el Khoury / Christos Marcopoulos and Carol Moukheiber

The migration of computing from dedicated appliances to physical environments, thanks to increasingly proliferating microchips and ever-expanding information networks directly implicates and empowers architecture as a transformative agent and medium. The fact that objects can now sense, think, act, and communicate with the help of embedded technology is opening up the potential for an architecture that is more closely aligned with the networked dynamics of living systems – a sentient architecture.

The technological enhancement of physical matter charts a movement away from a mechanical paradigm towards a biological model. The shift manifests itself on several levels, from the micro scale in the form of new composite or “smart” materials capable of registering and responding to external stimuli, to larger network formations between people, objects, spaces, and landscapes. Radical artifice here serves to imitate nature, enmeshing built environments in a complex web of interactions whose emergent properties approximate the resiliency of natural ecologies.

It is precisely this fine attunement to life that has made these emerging technologies pertinent in dealing with a wide range of issues from the therapeutic benefits to the body, to the mediation of global and climatic energy systems. The projects featured in this book demonstrate in working prototypes architectural applications of synthetic sentience in the broad research area of ambient intelligence, focusing on: Immersive Spaces, Hybrid Living Systems, Responsive Cladding, Surface as Interface, Augmented Building Technologies, and Individuated Experience. Initial informal efforts have evolved with this team into a focused and funded university-based research.

The projects establish a collaborative platform involving designers, scientists, and engineers and a new family of spatial problems where, architecture is re-charged.

Congratulations to the @mitarchitecture @mit_engineering @mitsap team of architects & engineers -- led by postdoctoral researcher Valentina Sumini and assistant professor Caitlin Mueller -- who won the top prize for architecture 🏆 in the @nasa & @europeanspaceagency - sponsored @marscitydesign Contest for their organic 'Redwood Forest' settlement design! MIT’s winning design, which the team calls Redwood Forest, is a collection of "tree habitats" connected through a system of tunnels called "roots." The roots would provide safe access to other tree habitats, private spaces and "shirt-sleeve transportation," according to a statement from MIT. The tunnels would also provide protection from cosmic radiation, micrometeorite impacts and extreme changes in temperature. "On Mars, our city will physically and functionally mimic a forest, using local Martian resources such as ice and water, regolith (or soil), and sun to support life . . . designing a forest also symbolizes the potential for outward growth as nature spreads across the Martian landscape," MIT postdoctoral researcher Valentina Sumini stated. The Redwood Forest design could also have uses here on Earth, team members said. A similar architecture could make harsh environments like those at high altitudes and even the seafloor livable, they said in the statement, and the habitat’s proposed gardening system could cut down on land and transportation costs. We also congratulate Ms. 'Marschitect' herself, Vera Mulyani, Founder & CEO of Mars City Design -- the collaborative platform created to explore the concept of livability and sustainability on #Mars as well as Earth -- whose efforts we support and whom spoke at Humans To Mars Summit 2016 as a featured guest.

William Welles Bosworth was the architect and planner who designed many of the first buildings at MIT when the school moved from Boston to Cambridge in 1916. He is best known today for his work at MIT and for his work for the Rockefeller Family. At Kykuit he re designed the Delano and Aldrich facades and added the formal gardens. From 1924 through 1939 he was in charge of the Rockefeller funded restoration of Versailles, Fontainbleau and the Trianon Palace. He lived in France till his death at 97 in 1969. #mitarchitecture #williamwellesbosworth #kykuit #charlesriver #beauxartsarchitecture #archi_ologie https://www.instagram.com/p/BnLrs9Dh20p/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y1aujzaz2pwg
