Biological Intelligence aims to interrogate the importance of biological principles to the design process, and how its materials and organisational logics found can be scaled and applied in architectural design. This presentation will discuss the design possibilities borne out biomimicry and synthetic biology, and question how close our new materials are to those found in biology…

SoMe+hing On The Side focuses on pattern design and surface modulations, starting by looking into translating these into small wearable pieces such as scarves, and then looking further into expanding this idea to explore the manifestation of the pattern in relation to the whole body, object and space.

This year’s Friday lectures follow from the previous three years. The Gesture is considered as a fundamental cultural act, one which is not restricted to the human body or indeed the human being but which indexes a movement in the world which has a strong affective dimension. The lecture course considers this from the point of the origins of drawing and issues which normally slip out of the net of architectural theory such as shape and movement.

In the autumn of 1914 a young Swiss artist moves to Paris, imagining a life in architecture. His first project is giving himself a new name. His second is giving architecture a new project. He does this with the invention of a universal building system he calls Maison Dom-ino. Soon after Dom-ino is drawn Europe is indeed destroyed. It is eventually rebuilt; not once but twice. But not with his patented system. Consequently, Dom-ino’s ideas are left to the architect himself to tinker with; a personalised prototype for further theoretical refinement, not industrial application. This is the condition that instigates its influential afterlife, as a vessel for ideas more than a vehicle of inhabitation.

A conversation about domestic space, to present the book SQM: The Quantified Home (edited by Space Caviar and published by Lars Müller; produced for the 2014 Biennale Interieur). The home, once a site of architectural investigation, experiment, and potential social change, is being transformed into a commodity—a “bitcoin for oligarchs” in the words of Bruce Sterling. The domestic interior registers a new social paradigm whereby postwar welfare has given way to neoliberal visions of sharing. Privacy, comfort, and stability are rapidly becoming a thing of the past…

“The entire effort here is ahomage to Mackintosh.” Steven Holl
Distanced in time and space by a little over one hundred years and the width of a street, the creative architectural practices of Steven Holl Architects and Charles Rennie Mackintosh engage on the slope of Garnethill. The original Glasgow School of Art building evidently has a new neighbour, the ‘Reid’ Building….

In the fast-developing city of El Alto, just west of La Paz, Bolivia, an architectural phenomenon has emerged so rapidly that it still lacks a proper name. Some refer to it as ‘space-ship architecture,’ others herald it as ‘new Andean,’ but most just call it ‘kitsch.’ Yet the brightly coloured buildings that continue to pop up all over the otherwise flat and monotonous landscape of El Alto represent the most interesting architectural development in the country today…
