Embarking on the journey of the 23-24 Spring Architectural Design Studio II, we delve into the realm of “Transcalar Fauna; a Bio-Receptive Urban Tailoring” project with Zehra Delerel at GTU School of Architecture. As a part of Responsive Ground Lab., this studio represents a seamless continuation of our exploration into the intricate resonance between architectural design and bio-environmental influences. The studio aims to instill in students an appreciation for the nuanced ideation that take place between design phases, recognizing that innovation often sprouts in the spaces in between. Thus, the process lies in not just envisioning but actively crafting a future where architecture is a harmonious interplay between nature and innovation, where the city is not just a backdrop but an integral part of responsive acts. As a part of this hybrid process, the diffusion of AI is highlighted for its role in unlocking responsive potentials and exploring novel possibilities for transcalar scenarios, particularly in the context of bio-receptive environments. These possibilities appear to challenge traditional notions of scale, not in terms of size but in terms of living experiences.

Nature is the most prolific of inspiration sources.

We currently live in an era where preservation often takes a backseat. Whether it’s deleting social media content after a season or neglecting human relationships and valuable spaces, we often fail to recognize the cultural significance behind our actions. It’s crucial to shift our mindset and prioritize gestures, people, and the environment around us. bplus . xyz (b+), a collaborative architecture studio operating at the nexus of theory and practice, utilizes various mediums and approaches to tackle contemporary challenges, especially those concerning socio-ecological transformation and the adaptive reuse of existing buildings. With environmentally and economically sustainable solutions, b+ embraces the potential of our existing built environment and aims to unlock its latent possibilities. Through a collaborative model, b+ emphasizes working with diverse actors and stakeholders in project development. #NRMagazine in conversation with architecture and research firm #Bplus for nr.world .

"Moment of Stillness" is a project born from a simple yet powerful idea: what if we could heal our environment using what's already around us? It's about seeing potential in the overlooked—both in materials and places. Moment of Stillness explores a radical approach to addressing environmental degradation and the consequences of capitalism by reimagining the skins of industrial sites. The project proposes using locally sourced agricultural waste—specifically corn cobs—to create a purifying material that absorbs air pollutants. Once processed in low Earth orbit, this material takes advantage of space's unique conditions to enhance its effectiveness as a "purifier skin," offering a groundbreaking solution for transforming neglected industrial areas. The originality of this project lies in its seamless integration of sustainable materials, space technology, and architectural imagination. Proposing a system that heals both the environment and industrial scars addresses a pressing need for ecological restoration while simultaneously encouraging a shift toward post-capitalist thinking. This "purifier skin" offers more than just a technological fix; it symbolises a moment of stillness for Earth to heal, inviting a rethinking of how we interact with the built environment. Throughout the design process, I learned the importance of thinking beyond conventional boundaries—both in terms of material sourcing and the role of architecture in society. The project taught me to view architecture not merely as a building practice but as a means of addressing more significant environmental sustainability issues, social equity, and technological innovation. Ultimately, it has shaped my belief that architecture can be a tool for healing, regeneration, and inclusivity in the post-capitalist era. Architecture isn't just about erecting walls—it's about tearing down barriers between disciplines, between Earth and space, between what is and what could be. #archirecturalthesis #MAArchitecture #Architecture #MAthesis #Thesisdesign #creativedesign

In our latest episode of Buildings 2.0, David Tepper, Principal at Ennead Architects, talks about the evolving role of architecture in public spaces, the challenges of sustainability and its role in design, and the impact of emerging technologies and at-home care trends on healthcare design. In this episode: ✅ The importance of fostering diverse public interactions in physical spaces versus the digital world. ✅ The challenges of retrofitting existing buildings to meet modern sustainability standards, in particular the costs: both the actual renovations, and fines from cities hoping to incentivize owners to retrofit. ✅ The influence of AI and other technologies on the future of architectural design and training.

📣 There's just under a month left to apply for the Regenerative Architecture Index, with applications closing on 17.05.24. RAI aims to celebrate regenerative practice and communicate this to the wider construction industry, as well as identifying obstacles to progress and encouraging peer-to-peer knowledge sharing and advice. It recognises the need for a built environment that isn’t merely reducing its negative impacts, but has positive impacts for today and the long term. Participating practices will be invited to answer questions both on the practice itself and on the projects it delivers, under 3 broad headings. Part 1: Being a good ancestor, will look at evidence of long-term thinking and a concern for the well-being of future generations. Part 2: Co-evolving with nature, will look at measures to support a mutually enriching coexistence with the natural world. Part 3: Creating a just space for people, will look at issues around inclusivity, diversity, equality and engagement. Our recently released Regenerative Design Primer addresses these areas in detail, making it a key reference document when completing your application and when thinking about how your practice can move further towards regenerative design in the future. Results will be published in September 2024 on the Architecture Today website and in a special issue of Architecture Today. Graphs and tables indicating practices’ progress in specific areas will be accompanied by case studies, commentary and analysis designed to produce a comprehensive compendium of best practice in the transition to regenerative architecture. You can sign up and start your entry now via the link below, and can download the free Primer document, via the link in our bio. #ukarchitectsdeclare #regenerativearchitecture #benchmarking #dontmiss #framework #rai #architecturetoday #architecture #bestpractice #climateaction #climateemergency #architectsdeclare #callforentries #callout #apply https://lnkd.in/dv2jKAJj

Is your practice on a journey to become a regenerative business? If so, you should consider entering the Regenerative Architecture Index, established by UK Architects Declare and Architecture Today, and developed to share emerging best practice in responsible, ethical, inclusive and positively impactful architectural design.

"AI Sapien" by Robert Cha pushes the boundaries of architecture, imagining a future where AI isn't just a tool but an intrinsic part of our living spaces. Cha presents homes not as built structures but as sentient habitats, co-created with AI, challenging our understanding of the relationship between humans and technology.
