Lecture: Augmented Design Environments

I|K studio (Mariana Ibañez and Simon Kim)

We recognize that there is a design methodology that looks at New Media as active forces in our physical environment. Using actuation and interaction modes, Architecture can move past a pedagogy that tethers computation to the role of a generative or fabricating tool; the Projects presented here work towards its new roles in the production of spaces that are dynamic and changeable.
