Researcher Claire Lesieur works at the CNRS Ampère Laboratory on the Go Pro project, which applies a computational model developed for protein folding to urban environments. The shape-changing properties of proteins are put to use in an attempt to map out the opportunities for urban growth that don’t involve urban sprawl.

Complexity, multiplicity, and adapatation within ecosystems

Contemporary architectural research is often fascinated by biological life but with an approach that goes beyond simple organic metaphors thanks to recent technological developments. Alisa Andrasek discusses the link between biology and her architectural practice, and her interest in the distribution of information in natural processes—a complexity that she tries to approach via big data. Her work in computational design is influenced by the convergence between information and materials, in an increasingly complex and open synthesis which enables it to go beyond the production of form and address the dynamic processes of matter itself. Alisa Andrasek is an architect, director and founder of the Biothing laboratory. She teaches at the Architectural Association of London.

AI in Architecture

Artificial intelligence sparks as much enthusiasm as fear in its applications in the built and urban environment. Architect and data scientist Stanislas Chaillou puts this innovation into perspective by replacing in its technological timeline and demystifying the way it operates, which is in fact based on statistical learning. AI brings three major contributions to architects: assistance (for tedious chores), options (in the iterative design process), and the connection to context (by taking better account of local data). AI thus carries less of a risk of standardization than an opportunity to develop a style, to adapt to multiple contexts, and to vastly increase the capabilities of architects.

As early as the 2000s, Yann Moulier-Boutang discussed in his article for Rem Koolhaas’ Mutations the issues of cognitive capitalism, digital technologies but also the environment—a topic that has finally become pivotal now that it is finally perceived as problematic. He had already foreseen the return to a quest for meaning, which stemmed from the desire to find an approach to life that goes beyond the myth of progress and continuous growth, and to go on to live the “good life”. The destruction of the industrial era has accelerated and he now calls for an “ecology of thought,” referring to widespread urbanization and its main developments, including the consolidation of a “capitalism of intangibles” and the importance of externalities. He presents us with new conceptual tools to understand and to survive this state of complexity—most notably his concepts of “pollinization” and the “halo”, but also the importance of collaborative approaches, trust, and open data. Yann Moulier-Boutang is an economist and essayist. He teaches at the University of Technology of Compiègne, at the Binghamton University of New York, and at Shanghai’s UTSEUS Complexcity laboratory.
