METEORA IS THE DESIGN STUDIO OF THE CHAIR OF DIGITAL ARCHITECTONICS [HOVESTADt] AT THE DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE OF ETH ZÜRICH. Meteora is never the same, she evolves, grows and changes constantly. She is a mirror of the state of work we do in our studio, and an infinite sum of its sediments. EXPLORE THE PLETHORA OF ITs CHARACTERS, DREAMS, AND VISIONS BELOW.

infrastructure, urbanism, migration

about
identity,
secrecy,
branding.

We are all migrants native to the universe.

What it is to be private in a fully connected world?
What it is to be a citizen in the 21st century?

AN ARCHITECTONIC STAGE PLAY:

Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul
move to Abattoirs d'Anderlecht, Brussels
to discuss PRIVACY

METEORA #06 will use artifical intelligence
to write a text to explicate a precise position in today's world,
to create a spectrum of images to reflect this world
and design an architectural artefact which brings things into adequate proportions

This studio works on the idea that a substantial understanding of TODAYS TECHNOLOGY (INTERNET OF THINGS, BIG DATA, MACHINE INTELLIGENCE ...) changes the perspective to ARCHITECTURAL THEORY and will result in different ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS and building constructions.

GOALS

1) IDENTIFICATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CHALLENGES OF TODAYS TECHNOLOGIES;
2) TECHNIQUES OF WORKING WITHIN THE PLENTY OF THE INTERNET;
3) A METHODOLOGY TO DESIGN DIGITAL ARCHITECTURES;
4) UNDERSTANDING OF THE SHIFT FROM HARD BUILDING CONSTRUCTION TO SOFT BUILDING APPLICATIONS, AND
5) AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPORTANCE OF BECOMING A LITERATE DIGITAL PERSONA IN ORDER TO BE AN ARCHITECT TODAY.
