Design Studio Vol. 2: Intelligent Control 2021

How should we train? What should we learn? What is our value?

Disruptive technologies have increased speculation about what it means to be an architect. Innovations simultaneously offer great promise and potential risk to design practice.

This volume identifies the game-changing trends driven by technology, and the opportunities they provide for architecture, urbanism, and design. It advocates for an approach of intelligent control that transforms practice with specialist knowledge of technological models and systems.

It features new developments in automation, generative design, augmented reality, videogame urbanism, artificial intelligence, and robotics, as well as lived experiences within a continually shifting landscape.

Showcasing evolving research, it discusses the cultural, social, environmental, and political implications of various technological trajectories. In doing so, it speculates upon future urban, spatial, aesthetic, and formal possibilities within architecture.

The future is already here. Now is the time to act.

Features: Austrian Institute of Technology AiT - City Intelligence Lab CiT, Bryden Wood, Mollie Claypool, Soomeen Hahm, Hawkins\Brown, LASSA Architects, The Living, Danil Nagy, Odico Construction Robotics, Stefana Parascho, Luke Caspar Pearson, SHoP Architects, Kostas Terzidis, Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen, and Sandra Youkhana.

    Collective Action!
    Buildings cannot be built without people working together. Architects collaborate with other disciplines, other architects and even with the public. These collaborations take place every day, across multiple planning and design stages. Small or emerging practices often suffer from a lack of resources, but what if we pooled our collective resources, sharing knowledge and experiences? Collaborative architecture begins in the...

    Colour is architecture’s sharpest tool in the box. It has indexed everything from the feminine, cosmetic and vulgar to the pure, intrinsic and embodied. Attitudes to colour are constantly shifting. They have played a central role in the history of architecture: from the polychromy of the ancients to the great white interiors of high modernism; the figurative flourishes of postmodernism...

    Design Studio Vol. 3: Designs on History
    Each architectural design is a new history. To identify what is novel or innovative, we need to consider the present, past and future. We expect historical narratives to be written in words, but they can also be delineated in drawing, cast in concrete or seeded in soil. The aim of this volume is to understand each design as a visible...

    Design Studio Vol. 4: Working at the Intersection
    Without environmental justice, there can be no social justice. The critical symptoms of human suffering, climate collapse, and animal maltreatment are now global and far-reaching. Despite their interdependence, the treatment of these afflictions remains disconnected. What follows are policy and design decisions that fail to tackle the problems collectively. Exposing the narrow perspectives that dominate architectural discourse and practice, this...

    Design Studio Vol. 5: Experimental Realism
    The experimental provides architects with a vital means to test ideas and the untried. Like authors and artists, architects harness the power of fiction to explore alternative models of society and push the boundaries of the possible. Though these imaginings can be influential aesthetically, like the prisons of Piranesi or the cities of Lebbeus Woods, they remain largely confined to...
