L'ouvrage est issu d'une conférence à l'AA School à l'initiative de Theo Spyropoulos, enseignant et fondateur de l'agence Minimaforms à New York et à Londres. Il y est question de l'architecture non pas seulement en tant que recherche formelle mais davantage comme un ensemble d'éléments interdépendants, un organisme vivant, évoluant dans une constante adaptation à son environnement riche et complexe. Cette position face à l'architecture prend sa source dans les projets de David Greene, Moshe Safdie, Un Studio, Chanéac, Buckminster Fuller depuis l'habitation jusqu'à l'échelle des territoires. Après l'évocation de ces icones de l'architecture du XXe siècle, l'ouvrage aborde les spéculations numériques et le parametric design, et les expérimentations du Design Research Lab à la AA school depuis 2008.
Recent architecture has found itself having to cope with new social and cultural complexities that demand networked systems that are time- based, reconfigurable and evolutionary, and a corresponding model of urbanism defined as an adaptive ecology. It is against this backdrop that the AA's graduate Design Research Lab (DRL) has pursued its recent studio agenda through project-based research focusing on alternative models of housing. Integral to this research is a notion of architecture that looks towards designing systems that seek higher ordered goals emerging through an intimate correlation of material and computational interaction. This book presents the results of this research and with it constructs a generative view of space and structure and the exploration of behaviourbased models of living through patterns found in nature.
