Abstract

This paper discusses architectural experimentation's shift from a carefully designed spatial practice into a distributed set of dynamic processes unfolding in time. When linearity shifts into a convoluted set of feedback loops, circularity emerges as a fundamental paradigm. The paper discusses a set of project descriptions and recent case studies from the work of the PhotoSynthetica venture, bringing together the experimental practice of ecoLogicStudio and the pioneering research of the Urban Morphogenesis Lab at UCL and the Synthetic Landscape Lab at UIBK. These projects demonstrate how the practice of architecture constitutes a distributed form of emergent collective intelligence.
