How do storytelling, architecture and science fiction go together? That's what students in Jes Deaver, AIA's class get to experience this semester. https://lnkd.in/ezx-avf6

Are we witnessing a groundbreaking fusion of neuroscience and architecture? 🏗️🧠 Uncover the surprising connections with Ayman Ayoub and Fariba Khalvati Beighlie as they explore the fusion of these disciplines. Dive deep into the intersection of minds and structures! See the full video at: https://ytube.io/3qXU #NeuroArchitecture #DesignFusion

Watch my talk at the Design Museum where I talk about unthinking architecture, unlearning assumptions. In the talk, I bring together my PhD work in Savda Ghevra, Delhi, on the relationship between infrastructure and waste management and more recent work on sewage dumping by water companies in the UK. My PhD work documented the changes in bathroom habits, from largely outside to the use of built-in toilets within homes, which were largely self-initiated by the residents. “These are the people who, in the absence of the state, have done the most already. So we have to listen to them if we’re interested in finding solutions [elsewhere],”. Working with CURE India, we ended up designing and building a low-cost sanitation system. I then show how I brought this knowledge and research to the UK, where in 2022, at least 2.7 million hours of sewage was dumped into seas and rivers, causing a mounting crisis. My work has identified several existing solutions to this problem–for example, creating wetland parks and oyster habitats - but it is the “political incompetence… propped up by a lack of creative ideas and thinking, and a system that looks towards what’s existing for solutions rather than looking elsewhere,” which is framing the national response.

As an integrated, multi-discipline firm, collaboration lies at the heart of everything we do at Herrera. It's how our designers, scientists, and planners approach the complex challenges of creating integrated solutions that serve our communities. Our new blog series, Cross Discipline Collaboration, will showcase how we apply Science+Planning+Design to drive meaningful outcomes. Our initial topic: How Wetland Scientists Can Partner Effectively with Design Engineers. Join us as we talk about the art and science of asking the right questions to elevate communities and ecosystems: https://lnkd.in/gequPPUn

(Re)Publication Day 📗 🎉 Check out "Critical Computational Relations in Design, Architecture and the Built Environment", co-edited with Vernelle A. A. Noel Ph.D. ⌨️ https://lnkd.in/d8758Nub This book delves into the power relations between computational practices, technology infrastructures, knowledge, and their reproductions of bias in design at multiple scales. It provides critical perspectives and insights on how computation intersects with architecture, design, the built environment, and society. The six contributions to this volume by Selena Savic, Michael Hasey, Jinmo Rhee, Daniel Cardoso Llach, Esther Dessewffy, Andrea Schikowitz, Sarah R. Davies, Yi-Chin Lee, Maja-Lee Voigt, Mine Ozkar provide critical perspectives and insights on how computation intersects with architecture, design, the built environment, and society. The chapters in this book were originally published in Digital Creativity: https://lnkd.in/duQRMMpi Cluster of Excellence IntCDC | University of Stuttgart #criticalcomputation #STS #datastudies #architecture #urbanstudies #society

When filming for Design vs. Build, we always walk away with MOUNTAINS of content. Some of it is project-related, some of it design-related but all of it is interesting. A personal highlight from Season 2: After wrapping our interview about the Burke Museum, the conversation with Tom Kundig shifted to a general discussion of architecture, in which he freely shared his thoughts. Though it didn't make sense for that specific episode, it was too good to leave stored away on the server and not share! #architecture #architecturedesign #olsonkundig #tomkundig

Check out the first issue of the Georgia Tech School of Architecture newsletter from School Chair Julie Ju-Youn Kim, AIA!

Excited that my new book, titled "Architecture in the Age of Human-Computer Interaction" co-authored with Eric Sauda and Donna Lanclos is ready to pre order. Through the book, we discuss how architecture with has embedded interactive technology requires us to think differently about how we design space, shifting focus to how people live in these spaces, we use lessons learned from HCI to discuss some of these ideas with lots of examples. https://lnkd.in/gtPwVQ95).
