Abstract
Air is the common platform for all humans—a defining material substance whose status and resolution is typically illegible and has come to be, along with the ‘hard surfaces’ of the city, another boundary capable of dividing people. However, unlike the static and impermeable, air can be penetrated and manipulated, and can therefore be iteratively designed. Varying in qualities such as temperature, humidity, and pollution, the description of air is specific to each location. By using computational tools, sensors, and actuators, a networked field of architectural prototypes is proposed as a temporary urban infrastructure—a porous exterior space that is defined as a function of the evolving environmental conditions in which it is situated, enhancing the experience of the outdoors and removing airborne particles as a by-product.
