Carolyn Wittendal ja Benjamin Jacquemet – Microclimax

15. november kell 19 - LHV saalis

«Detournement & hybridation. Gaps in the law»

In a more and more controlled society, rules, norms, security, obligation of performance... strongly impact basic architecture and tend to limit the role of the architect to the prescription of normalized items, in formated dimensions and materials, restricting the production of new forms or processes.

Detournement of those legal aspects and hybridation with other disciplines for which the same norms do not apply (ie landscape, art...) can allow gaps in the law for invention and creativity.

Microclimax is a creative practice founded by Carolyn Wittendal and Benjamin Jacquemet, working on the social and human relations in urban or rural environment, in public or private space. Their interventions are living processes defined by action rather than style. The site, the uses and the User are the bases and the matter of their projects. The forms are not pre-defined but vary with the context and develop by producing interaction with their environment. Microclimax uses sampling, absurdity, diversion, collage, recycling, provocation, etc as tools to produce hybrids of art, architecture, design and landscape and to set poetry in function in the reality. Microclimax biography enlists numerous participation with distinction and awards at different architecture and design competitions.

«System Cities - Infrastructure and the Space of Flows»

A radical shift is taking place in the way that society is thinking about cities, a change from the machine metaphors of the 20th century to mathematical models of the processes of biological and natural systems. From this new perspective, cities are regarded not simply as spatially extended material artefacts but as complex systems that are analogous to living organisms, exhibiting many of the same characteristics. There is an emerging view that the design of the thousands of new cities needed for an expanding world population are to be founded on intelligent and inhabited infrastructural systems or the ‘flow architectures’ of urban metabolisms. The physical arrays of the flow architecture of the city are intimately connected to the networks of subsidiary systems that collect and distribute energy, materials and information. They animate the city, and are coupled to the spatial and cultural patterns of life in the city, to the public spaces through which people flow, and inflect urban morphological and ecological systems.

Michael Weinstock studied Architecture at the Architectural Association and has taught at the AA School of Architecture since 1989. He is the founder and director of the school’s Emergent Technologies Masters Programme. His research interest lies in exploring the convergence of biomimetic engineering, architecture, emergence and material sciences and has published widely on these topics since 1989. The potential of the convergence for the materialization of intelligent materials, structures, and ultimately, the organization of cities, provides the motivation and suggests the long-term goal. He received Acadia Award for Excellence in 2008.
