The Garden of Forking Paths
Online Exhibition In the time of a global pandemic, how can we exhibit and share projects, ideas andartworks with other people in lieu of a physical space? This question informed thecreation of our digital garden project that can be accessed from all over the worldwith an internet connection and a web-browser. We invite you to explore our garden at any time and from any place.
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.

The Digital Anthropology Lab project
Live sessions Daily live stream that will run for an hour. During the hour of streaming different events will take place which will only be announced on the day. Many visitors can log in at once and will be able to switch cameras and views to experience different aspects of the space. The sessions are also meant as Q/A for people to ask questions about the Draping Interfaces project and the Digital Anthropology Labs.
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.
The History of Dark Matter Retold
Adeyemi Michael
Dark Matter by Adeyemi Michael It was during the DARK MATTER exhibition in Science Gallery London that History of Dark Matter Retold was conceptualised. Scientist and actress Laura-Joy Pieters collaborated with director Adeyemi Michael to produce a film that portrayed Laura’s birth and heritage. When speaking about what she wished to communicate with the film, Laura expressed that “The achievements of black women are all around us and are present throughout history, yet they are rarely ever seen or acknowledged, much like the nature of the elusive dark matter”.
Guided virtual tour of Popa Nan neighborhood of H3 Studio
A guided live tour of H3 Studio and surroundings, situated in a special part of Bucharest that was on the periphery in the early 20th century and is a place of real estate development in 2020. The urban landscape combines residential houses from the early 20th century with factories and warehouses, communist blocks of flats with new residential and office buildings, in a space trying to find its identity for more than a hundred years.
H3 Garden tour
A tour of H3 Garden in Bucharest, home of before detach () exhibition that will take place outside, at dawn, among the silhouettes of buildings about to perish. The final countdown of this place is imagined through light installations that will instil a final outburst of life.
before detach()
Exhibition before detach() is an exhibition of art installations produced by H3 in Bucharest. It revolves around the concept of detachment. A final outburst of life in a space now meant to perish, aiming to re-appropriate in a final cut the metamorphosis of this living space as holder of past events. Works speak of detaching from the past, from known identities, from the body, from old habits and familiarity. before detach() prepares the unexpected.
Who am I?
A human-robot performance Who Am I? is a performative art installation that traces the relationship between a robot and the human body, between programmed and spontaneous, reproducible and irreproducible. The project takes the myth of Pygmalion as a starting point and investigates the relationship between creator/creation and their perception in a world of AI. Who Am I? is based on the interaction between human and robot, by mirroring the relationship between natural and artificial as a deep meditation on human nature.
Creative Question Challenge: Can unheard signals inspire change?
Siobhán McDonald (IE), Chris Bean (IE), Adriaan Eeckels (BE)
"Lasst uns beenden, was wir begonnen haben." Auf diese Weise stellt die UNO ihr erstes Ziel für nachhaltige Entwicklung vor - das Ende der Armut in allen Formen und Dimensionen bis 2030. Die 17 Ziele der Nachhaltigen Entwicklung und ihre 169 Teilziele wurden als ein ausuferndes, missverständliches Durcheinander großer Absichten beschrieben. Allein der Titel der Entwicklungsagenda - "Unsere Welt umgestalten" - verströmt utopische Ambitionen. Er wurde 2015 von 193 Nationen angenommen. Fünf Jahre später und mit zehn verbleibenden Jahren: Wie wird sich unsere Welt verändern?
