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.

KICKOFF: SEPTEMBER 15, 2020
09:30 HIB E 15, ETH HÖNGGERBERG

FINAL REVIEWS 17-18 DECEMBER, 2020
