Bio-ID Hyperobject
The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UK)
The main concept of the film is the creation of a design platform in form of a Hyperobject – a collection of things that overlap and intersect. It creates a system to visualise the systemic complexity of Bio-ID design research in an aesthetic and visually appealing way. The film project speculates with the idea of how data can become a visual object, a visual representation shaped into a navigational object.
Lecture on Performance and Interaction
Ruairi Glynn
Dr Ruairi Glynn, Director of the Interactive Architecture Lab, will give a talk on notions of Antidisciplinarity in Design for Performance and Interaction and emerging new types of practice.
Bartlett artists’ videos
The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UK)
A 1-hour collection of student project films from the Bartlett School of Architecture’s Interactive Architecture Lab, Automated Architecture Ltd/Automated Architecture Labs, BioID, Unit 24, Unit 9, Unit 14, RC14.
Evening in IAL hubs space
The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UK)
Live performance / DJ set - The monotony of daily Zoom calls and Skype meetings is disrupted by using the video streams of participants to create colourful, live coded visuals which will be mixed and synced with live DJ sets from a selection of current Bartlett students and staff bringing a London soundscape to festival visitors. Lean back (or dance) and join us with a drink or two!
Heterotopias
The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UK)
Roundtable + Q&A - As we collectively detangle our own perceived ‘normal’, how might this shape speculative design and the worlds that come with it? Is Heterotopia an alternative to the utopia/dystopia narrative?
Alexander Whitley Dance Company
The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UK)
Initiated in response to the Covid-19 lockdown, Digital Body uses motion capture technology to digitise sequences of choreography and makes them freely available online. CHAOTIC BODY brings together three composers and digital artists to collaborate with AWDC company on the creation of three short films and AR projects taking inspiration from chaos theory and the associated geometric patterns in nature.
ScanLAB Projects HUB
The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UK)
Unit 9 is a design studio within the undergraduate architecture programme at the Bartlett UCL. Led by Jessica In and Chee-Kit Lai, the Unit has developed a continued interest in the performative aspects of new technologies and their expressive potentials for the design and representation of architecture.
Jason Bruges Studio (UK)
The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UK)
A curated selection of talks and 360 films that provide insight into the Studio’s process and practice. Normally inhabiting physical spaces, a number of the Studio’s installations are transformed and brought to a virtual audience for the first time.
Urbanism Beyond Cognition
The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UK)
Developed by Research Cluster 14, the projects showcase how data allows designers to expand their remit by design at the scale of a country or how AI can give agency to non-human ecological and robotic actors.
PG24
The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UK)
PG24 is a group of architectural storytellers employing design, film, animation, drawing, virtual and augmented reality and physical modelling to rethink architecture’s relationship with time. We find inspiration in the dialogue between film and architecture, study their intertwined histories and seek the magical possibilities arising from their fusion.
BSc Unit 9 HUB
The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UK)
Unit 9 is a design studio within the undergraduate architecture programme at the Bartlett UCL. Led by Jessica In and Chee-Kit Lai, the Unit has developed a continued interest in the performative aspects of new technologies and their expressive potentials for the design and representation of architecture.
Luminous Crusting, Bio-ID
The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UK)
Luminous Crusting is a project that questions perceptual and environmental ‘flatness’ of synthetic materials in comparison to extremely thin, but highly expressive and performative biogenic ‘micro-crusts’. These living, grown micro-crusts are highly ordered three-dimensional structures on a microscopic level. As such, they act not only as visual enhancers through deep iridescent appearance that changes with light and viewers movement, but as a living mediator between building tissue and the environment.
Automated Architecture Labs HUB
The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UK)
AUAR Labs is the research laboratory co-directed by Mollie Claypool, Manuel Jimenez Garcia and Gilles Retsin at The Bartlett School of Architecture, previously known as Design Computation Lab. As part of AUAR Labs co-directors run the studio Research Cluster 4 (RC4) in MArch Architectural Design at The Bartlett focused on automated housing. The work of RC4 believes in the agency of architecture for change. Automation is not only about robots – it is first and foremost a design project.
Design for Performance and Interaction / Interactive Architecture Lab HUB
The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UK)
IAL Hub Space showcases student projects. The space takes a critical stance on developments across art, science, and technology to spearhead thinking in the 21st century. The projects presented are films and virtual prototypes. We have come to realize that now, more than ever, boundaries which define the arts and sciences no longer hold. To address the changing political, ecological, and technological landscapes, we engage in dialogues that are unfamiliar or uncomfortable.
