Shall we drink a pastis ? Or arrogance disguised as attitude

Known for his positions seasoned with vitriol, French architect Rudy Ricciotti defends a certain idea of architecture, an imprint of materiality in reaction to a regionalism made up of wigs and pastiche. This southerner tells us of his view of architecture and his ferocious opposition to “Saturn-hollandism” and  generic regionalism. This article was published in Stream 01 in 2008.  Rudy Ricciotti is a French architect and an engineer, recipient of the Grand Prix National d’Architecture in 2006. (interview with Christophe Le Gac and Aurélien Gillier, Bandol, June 2nd, 2006)

Complexity, multiplicity, and adapatation within ecosystems

Complexity, multiplicity, and adapatation within ecosystems

Contemporary architectural research is often fascinated by biological life but with an approach that goes beyond simple organic metaphors thanks to recent technological developments. Alisa Andrasek discusses the link between biology and her architectural practice, and her interest in the distribution of information in natural processes—a complexity that she tries to approach via big data. Her work in computational design is influenced by the convergence between information and materials, in an increasingly complex and open synthesis which enables it to go beyond the production of form and address the dynamic processes of matter itself. Alisa Andrasek is an architect, director and founder of the Biothing laboratory. She teaches at the Architectural Association of London.

Modeling the City Using Proteins

Researcher Claire Lesieur works at the CNRS Ampère Laboratory on the Go Pro project, which applies a computational model developed for protein folding to urban environments. The shape-changing properties of proteins are put to use in an attempt to map out the opportunities for urban growth that don’t involve urban sprawl.

Demystifying and Repoliticizing Urban Data

In the face of the promises of the prophets of artificial intelligence and the marketing of those major economic players promoting the smart city as a solution to urban ills, Jérôme Denis and David Pontille remind us of the irreducible materiality and fragility of cities. Demystifying what they perceive as a form of “neopositivism” of data, they point out that data doesn’t exist per se, and in fact must be generated and then maintained at a significant cost. As a result, data is never neutral and takes on a fundamentally political dimension. Understanding this framework leads them to promote a paradigm of maintenance and fragility, instead of the more common one of sustainability and resilience, when approaching urban realities.
