09.11.2022 BUILT AND FUTURE – Jesus Donaire

A collection of built houses and future public hybrid buildings. Some of these spanish architectures investigate the idea of working with existing architectural structures, and how the design is determined by them. All projects are presented by a clear and essential structural idea that orders not only the interior spaces but also the urban ones, following the tradition of the School of Madrid (ETSAM).

30.11.2022 AI AND COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN FOR SPACE ARCHITECTURE –…

Since humankind stands at the cusp of interplanetary civilization, Space Architecture poses a new design challenge across disciplines and scales to architects, engineers and designers in order to sustain human space exploration.

Space Architects are currently committed to actively design novel technologies, tools, and human experiences for enabling a sustainable future on Earth and beyond. Indeed, Space Architecture should bring together design, architecture, engineering, and science to enable transformative visions for space exploration and human spaceflight, while addressing the particular challenges posed by the extreme environment of space—from reduced gravity, to the absence of atmospheric pressure and harming radiation exposure. The access to Artificial Intelligence (AI) codes is becoming more and more democratized also to designers and architects, supporting the generation of new ideas and design concepts.

Space AI-rchitecture could merge the multi-disciplinarity visions of space habitats with AI integrated systems to foster creativity while applying learned knowledge.

What does ‘modern’ mean? And what does ‘classical’ mean?

These are questions that are not or only superficially discussed in the debates of post-modernism, post-humanism, post-colonialism, post-gender and post-ideology. Awareness of the two terms has been lost. Modernity and classicism have degenerated into hollow phrases, into clichés that are used as one sees fit. This is particularly dramatic because both terms are fundamental for understanding human culture and architecture.
