Living Architectures Workshop 2017
ECAL 2017, September 4, Lyon, France
http://uncomp.uwe.ac.uk/LIAR/Living%20Architectures%20Workshop%202017.html
==================================================
Living Architecture is about buildings that function and behave as living creatures: they breath, think, dream, and fall in love with their inhabitants. Living Architecture can be thought as a step “beyond” biomimicry where things are not “like” biological systems, they have original physiology and perform “as” living things, so that these spaces are new kinds of localised nature as it were that is programmable.
Living Architecture looks at forms of programmable matter and programmable environments (where spatial relationships between things starts to create effects - contingencies and position in time and space actually influence events), where technological convergences are forming new kinds of organisms --- organisms that we can inhabit and have a physical/chemical/computational conversation with.
