  • DESIGN WITHOUT CAUSALITY: HEIDEGGER’S IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE FOR ECOLOGICALLY SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE 
    Hill, Glen. (2007-10-04)
    Deploying Martin Heidegger’s thinking on technology, this paper attempts to show an internal contradiction inherent in our technologically oriented approach to sustainable design. Heidegger’s thinking on technology, which ...
  • DISJUNCTIVE SYNTHESES OF (POST) DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE AND LIFE 
    Frichot, Helene. (2007-10-04)
    In her recent book, Architecture, Animal, Human: The Asymmetrical Condition, Catherine Ingraham maintains a stalwart asymmetry between, on the one hand, human, animal and other life, and on the other hand, the material ...
  • THE DRAMATISATION OF ‘ECO-TECHNOLOGIES’ IN RECENT HIGH RISE TOWERS 
    Kaji-O'Grady, Sandra. (2007-10-05)
    Architects select, specify, organize, integrate and innovate specific technologies. In doing so, architecture also plays a dramatizing role in concealing or revealing the effects and operations of selected technologies. ...
  • EMERGENT PROCESSES 
    Lahoud, Adrian. (2007-10-05)
    Emergence is a well established though highly contested concept in science that is found in a range of disciplines from biology and artificial life to physics and complexity. It is not in doubt that emergence is of ...
  • ETHICO-AESTHETIC KNOW-HOW: THE ETHICAL DEPTHS OF PROCESSUAL ARCHITECTURE 
    Ednie-Brown, Pia. (2007-10-04)
    This paper argues for an ethics embedded in the largely digitally oriented field of research I refer to as ‘processual architecture’, in terms of Francisco Varela’s notion of ethical expertise. Processual architecture ...
  • THE EXPRESSIVE CAPACITY OF THE TIMBER FRAME 
    Andresen, Brit (2007-10-04)
    Assembling for the first time a braced, timber frame as a freestanding structure, where no piece could be taken away without collapsing it, was surely a ‘eureka’ moment in architecture. The expressive potential of the ...
  • FROM ART TO THE EVERYDAY: ROBIN BOYD AND THE 'WINDOWWALL' 
    Goad, Philip. (2007-10-04)
    Throughout his career, Australian architect and critic Robin Boyd (1919-1971) explored alternatives for the orthodox elements of architecture. Using the laboratory-scale of the detached house, Boyd would rethink wall, ...
  • GREG LYNN’S EMBRYOLOGICAL HOUSE PROJECT: THE "TECHNOLOGY" AND METAPHORS OF METORSMOF ARCHITECTURE 
    Burns, Karen. (2007-10-04)
    This paper offers a close reading of one architectural text engaged in “knowledge transfer”: the use of evolutionary biology discourse as an explanatory account and authority claim supporting Greg Lynn’s Embryological ...
  • INSIDE SOLARIS: THE PRESENCE OF GAME TECHNOLOGY IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN 
    Pickersgill, Sean.; More, Greg. (2007-10-05)
    Tarkovsky’s 1971 film Solaris is an exquisitely evocative meditation on the relationship between technology, memory and loss – not only through it’s presentation of the characters, narrative and themes of Stanislav Lem’s ...
  • INSTRUMENTAL ANALOGY 
    Perin, Gavin (2007-10-05)
    The scalar mediation of the object through the space of representation ensures design methodologies based on similitude or procedural techniques must initially work upon appropriated forms. Given that translation ensures ...
  • INTEGRATION OF DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY 
    Austin, Mike (2007-10-04)
    Certification Boards visiting architecture schools regularly demand more ‘technology’ in the curriculum, and an increased ‘integration’ of design and technology in the teaching programme. The persistence of this over ...
  • INTERNAL CONSISTENCIES: REGARDING WEIGHTS AND MEASURES 
    Shotton, Elizabeth (2007-10-05)
    Rather than seeing a distinction between theoretical discourse and the science of building Vitruvius, a Roman architect and engineer active in the 1st century BC, argued convincingly for the breadth of knowledge necessary ...
  • LIVING WITH THE SUN: ARCHITECTURE AND THE ASSOCIATION FOR APPLIED SOLAR ENERGY, 1954 - 1958 
    Barber, Daniel. (2007-10-04)
    At the end of 1957, a group called the Association for Applied Solar Energy held an international competition for the design of a solar house, to be built in Phoenix, Arizona. In the mid-1950s – before the development ...
  • MEASURING ARCHITECTURE: QUESTIONING THE APPLICATION OF NON-LINEAR MATHEMATICS IN THE ANALYSIS OF HISTORIC BUILDINGS 
    Ostwald, Michael.; Tucker, Chris. (2007-10-05)
    In the late 1970s the mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot argued that natural systems frequently possess characteristic geometric or visual complexity over multiple scales of observation. This proposition suggests that systems ...
  • NEW PLACE DESIGNS WITH EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES 
    Gu, Ning.; Maher, Mary Lou. (2007-10-04)
    The emergence of digital and computing technologies is arguably the force of the century for innovation in all domains. In design, researchers and practitioners have shown an increasing interest in predicting and examining ...
  • NEW VISIONS OF THE PAST – TECHNOLOGY AND THE CREATION OF MEMORY SPACE IN SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUMS 
    Leibowitz, Vicki. (2007-10-05)
    Post-Apartheid South Africa is demanding a revised approach to the construction of museums and memory space, seeking to identify a new form of museum that assists in reflecting the history of Apartheid while facilitating ...
