Our next meeting will be tomorrow, Thursday May 3rd, 2007
We'll split it up into two groups... one open discussion, and one on our thesis projects in progress. Hope to see you all there!

Transarchitecture
ie40 image: v4Dyzwhere's a brief overview of his ideas:
in Short, we conceive algorithmically (morphogenesis); we model numerically (rapid prototyping); we build robotically (new tectonics); we inhabit interactively (intelligent space); we telecommunicate instantly (pantopicon); we are informed immersively (liquid architectures); we socialize nonlocally (nonlocal public domain); we evert virtuality (transarchitectures). He has also posited a new "Soft Babylon," a theoretical stance which posits that our digitized architectural palette is causing us to create a wired Situationist city, while we struggle with some of the massive paradigm shifts that our era will and must face. Whilst articulating highly fluent theory, he has practiced, producing beautiful ethereal architectures that flux and shimmer as his algorithms run their designed logics. They are, if anything, characterized by their generative complexities, simultaneously fragmented and fluid. Novak surfs on the Tsunami of technology, pushing the cyber envelope of the profession into the next century.
As we all know, definition, disciplines, institutions have become unstable and inadequate, and everywhere there are reevaluations of the structures by which we comprehend the world. These changes are not formless. They are characterized by the aspects of metamorphic change clustered under the prefix "trans":transmutation, transgression, etc. Everywhere present, this kind of change is most evident in the structures of our quest for knowledge. Novak's work is central to many conceptual cyber notions, and often he gets there first. His current work is to do with "eversion," his word for the casting of architecture in the future will be, in the crazy interstitial worlds where substance and absence are blurred.

Something to think about... write some comments and share your views on transarchitecture, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, or anything relevant to future digital technology.
