PREFACE - Multiples

Posit 1
"The multiple manufactures originals in series.
This means that the objects are not reproductions of an original but are themselves originals. They are not simply multiplied but manifold within themselves."

According to this key statement, formulated by Daniel Spoerri and Karl Gerstner at the foundation of their Edition MAT (Multiplication d'Art Transformable) in 1959, the multiple is to be regarded as an art form in its own right.

Posit 2
Nano and Geno revolutions edge closer. Cities could account for 85% of the global population by 2030. Development of computer controlled genetic hydroponic growth structures, nano bot swarm information and diagnostic relays, become widespread.

Posit 3
Emerging now is an embryonic construction technique
Where buildings / spaces are "Grown" not constructed.
Where computers control growth structures and DNA profiles
of crystal and organic compounds to produce architecture.

Where everything is wireless and now seemingly impossible
environments are fed and watered like plants or animals but are infact
Silicon controlled structures. Buildings like human spinal bones, controlled organic growth resembling high tech trees.

Posit 4
Site Specific Locative Media.
A unique quality of the synthetic space of the game engine is the ability to replicate a single formal entity many times and have no effect on cpu performance. This project explores those replecative qualities.

Mobile phones and other communication devices are already starting to use the game engine as a UI and entertainment system.

Digital Architecture for Synthetic spaces

Project One - Exploration

Brief

In this unit class we will explore the concepts behind modern “Emergent “architectural procedures. We will use the concept of the genetic multiple to explore form and digital space.

Procedure

Each person will develop a formal strategy digitally, to investigate structure.

Week One – Introduction
Week Two – Primary outline
Week Three – Initial experiments One.
Week Four – Initial experiments Two
Week Five – Screen cap and play blast presentation.
Week Seven – Final presentation of stage one

Note. Autodesk Maya will be a primary tool in this project. Although you do not need to be an expert in this software you should have a general knowledge of 3D applications. I will demonstrate during class Maya procedure

Project Two – Integration

Procedure

Each person will define a location inside Seoul city. You will generate a site plan and collect data of the specific location. Then you will develop a structure and environment that takes site specific elements and integrate with your multiple work.

Week One – Introduction
