Drawing Transitions
Climate change and the associated imperatives for decarbonization and energy transition are changing the stakes of urbanization. There is little doubt that the next quarter century will be one of the most decisive, disruptive, and possibly transformative times for human societies and our coexistence with planetary systems. This is a critical moment for the agency of design and its capacity to cocreate these transformations. This is relevant for t…
Fluid Territories
In the Paso del Norte at the US-Mexico border, water—as an agent of geopolitics, commodification, and social reproduction—produces charged physical spaces and asymmetrical material realities in the borderland. While the waters of the Rio Grande and the rapidly diminishing aquifers contribute to the reproductive capacity of land within the desert climate, it is the infrastructures of water supply, sanitation, and flood control that reproduce socio…
Nervous Ether
This paper describes the authors’ exploration and experimentation with cellular pneumatic aggregates for kinetic, environmentally responsive envelope systems. The work is situated within the history and technology of pneumatic structures, biological paradigms, the agency and aesthetics of material, information translation, and the tension between performance and affect within responsive environments. The paper elaborates on the physical and compu…
Soundspheres
This paper develops a brief historical account of the architectural development of auditory space and identifies the “soundsphere” as an acoustic project that connects the interrelationships between material, spatial form and sound. The instrumental design of the soundsphere has focused on three types of shells: hard, static, and inflexible; physically manipulable; and immaterial (or electroacoustic). This frames a disciplinary and historical con…
