• Evolution and Adaptations of Architecture and its Inhabitants

  How has our environment evolved and have we evolved appropriately to survive in it? The Island and  The Things both comment on how humans poorly adapted to our various environments. We are constantly unaware of the limitations of protocols that we don’t pay attention to and how they affect us. ex. gravity. How can we control our own evolution […]

• Void Life

  Introducing a stockpile into a void creates a closed system. Where there was nothing now stands a set of entities, possibly simple or symbiotic that can survive from that resource and others use of that resource. Depending on the complexity of the stockpile different simple forms of life can procreate. These allow for a large […]

• Storage Systems

  The earth is in constant reconstruction. Organisms constantly collect and stockpile resources. Naturally waves, wind, even the moving earth are all effects that are prone to organize and move resources. Almost every action has an effect of stockpiling. By this definition all actions can be looked at as an organism. Biologically by consuming, certain elements […]

• Self-Making Networks

  [“at the onset of a process of self-organization…the mechanisms become extremely sensitive to minor fluctuations in the environment…”naturally selecting” one assembly pattern over another” -Manuel DeLanda, Nonorganic Life ]   Many of our networks can be described as “alive” because, while they are not made of biological tissue, they have become so complex, that the […]

• Evolution V Architecture 9/25 update

  Note: I’m using the term “code” for current lack of better term- I’m not limiting the architectural system to code scripting yet. I’m using “code” to refer to the developmental rules in the system, like genetic code to an organism. I may refer to a conceptual connection between biological and architectural as an “analogy” or […]

• Architecture of the Displaced | Post-Occupancy Remediation

  A constant in history is the displacement and the movement of populations across the planet. Whether it is because of famine, drought, war, disease, and even environment disasters, humans have been traversing the face of the planet since the beginning. Most recently because of civil warfare in Syria that began in March 2011 the number […]

• Without Precedent

  This is what we know — We have transformed roughly 3/4 of Earth’s land that is not covered in ice. Our use of fossil fuels has acidified the oceans and dramatically raised temperatures. We have influenced entire species of flora and fauna, often causing extinction. Humans presently influence over 50% of the planet’s river systems […]

• The City Multi-Organism

  What defines the boundary between a network of life and systems that is one organism and the greater network in which that organism lives?   In our discussion last Wednesday, it was mentioned that “I” is sort of superficial because “I” (referring to a single human body) is actually referring to a combination of systems […]

• Digital Wall

  There is no argument that the world is getting smaller with technological advancement such as the wheel, the boat, and internet.  One has no choice but to surrender to the idea that they are a part of this invisible network, whether they like it or not.  Today, globally the main form of exports is information.
