Emilie Trice & LAST/RESORT present Garden del Rio Grande

LAST/RESORT (US)

Garden del Rio Grande pays homage to the geographic region around the Rio Grande River, which runs from central Colorado along the U.S./Mexico border to the Gulf of Mexico. Our garden contemplates how technology can reconnect us to the land and amplify indigenous voices, while questioning to what extent can art and design fortify sustainable ecologies. Through emerging technology we seek to reverse-engineer the past in order to reimagine the future.

CareLine

Matthias Janitsch, Simon Krist, Gabriel Neuberger / HTL Rennweg (AT)

Um die betreuten Personen morgens, mittags und abends mit Essen zu versorgen, beschäftigen Pflege- und Betreuungseinrichtungen Personal, das mit Servierwägen mehrere Male am Tag das zubereitete Essen sowie Besteck, Teller und Gläser von der Küche in den Speisesaal transportiert. Bei dem gesamten Prozess muss daher nicht nur eine weite Strecke zurückgelegt, sondern auch viel Zeit investiert werden, insgesamt nachgewiesene 1,5 Stunden pro Tag. Da sich Pflege- und Betreuungseinrichtungen rund um die Uhr und sieben Tage die Woche um die dort wohnhaften Personen kümmern, nimmt der Prozess in Summe rund 550 Stunden im Jahr in Anspruch. Diese Zeit könnte durchaus besser genutzt werden, um beispielsweise eine intensivere Pflege und Betreuung zu ermöglichen.

Postmasters presents Nicola Verlato, Donato Piccolo and Kristin Lucas

Paulina Bebecka - Postmasters Gallery, PostmastersROMA, Rome (IT)

​In the current uncertain climate of physical disconnection, hyper digital connection and distortion of life as we know it, I wanted to express that humanity is still at the very core of our increasingly technological experience on earth. The chosen artists bring about an examination of reality and the need to cherish our humanity through various digital media, such as artificial intelligence, 3D scanning, 3D gaming software, generative 360 WebXR animation, drones, and techno.

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.

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.
