CURRICULUM VITAE

// STATEMENT My name is Anaisa Franco. I’ve been working as a professional artist for 10 years, since my graduation year when I received my Bachelor Diploma in Visual Arts from the Art School FAAP in Brazil and sequentially a Master of Digital Art and Technology from University of Plymouth in UK. Ever since then, I have been developing complex interactive artworks in Medialabs, Residences and commissions aronund the world that required a team of professionals working on them.

My work is research-based, implying a constant experimentation process with new materials, electronics and digital fabrication to arrive at an “affective” situation where people expand their senses through the interaction with the artworks. However, at this time of my career I wanted to learn new concepts and techniques in Architecture to be able to professionally plan, develop and build interactive public experiences and permanent structures for the Public Realm.

My goals are to investigate and to build advanced design and its convergence with science and technology, emphasising the key role computation plays within complex design synthesis and parametric structures. In my future studies of architecture I am looking for to have access to spaces, materials and fabrication machines in order to be able to investigate the confluences between parametric architecture and cutting edge technology using sensors, new materials, organic materials and digital fabrication techniques applied with my artistic aims to create “affectivated” and sensorial experiences to the people in the public sphere.

Recently I have been fascinated by terms as Synthetic design, Biomorphic design, Neoplasmatic design, Adaptative Architecture, Bioreboot, isomorphic architecture and genetic architecture. The Architecture Studios I have been following and admiring most are : Zaha hadid, Greg Lynn, NOX, Karl Chu, Marcos Cruz, UN Studio, Francois Roche, Vicente Guallart, Coop himmelblau, Foster, Santiago Calatrava, Frank Gehry, Plasma Studio and many others.

For future projects, I have been reflecting on possibilities to create

organic, synthetic, biological structural spaces that could share senses with people. By analyzing the fact that the planet we live in are all composed by biological entities and autonomous living systems and organisms, why not architecture and Public artworks can become alive and sensible organisms that can share with us humans -- intelligent beings capable of sensing with several complex senses the world around us. Moreover, if all animals and humans are protected with a layer of skin, why not architecture could be inspired by this fact and could have their own biological and autonomous technological protections?

The macro and micro world are all organic, functional and regenerative, which means that we humans would feel much more comfortable in spaces that reflect our bodies and complex systems we carry inside us and outside in nature. For example, If we analyze the simulations created by the astrophysicist George Smoot showing the Universe structure, we can see formation of giant webs of dark matter and mysterious gaping voids, which are very similar to the structure the neurons forms in our brain -- the most complex organ in the known universe, able to process a hundred billion neurons and electrochemical signals connections controlling our body. We could also compare them with the computer system of complex networks and connections, which provide us with worldwide communication.

In conclusion, as an artist and future architect I want to communicate, be closer to people. I am interested in reaching out for situations that escape our control, new means of perceiving and expanding our reality via artistic experimentation with technological new materials. Rethinking the role of architecture and art in our contemporary technological society, means to expanding the objects we are daily confronted with and the spaces we inhabit, in order to expand and enrich our lives with an added aesthetic and creative dimension. I am interested in the realm of the collective, beyond the private dimension of art and enhancing the channel of communication with people: this is why I am particularly fascinated by the power of architecture and public art.

// DESIGN STUDIO II 1GB // MARGARET GRIFFIN Spring 2017

This course is a continuation and expansion of the fundamental issues of architecture introduced in the first studio of the core sequence. The interrelationship between geometry, form, tectonics, and materiality is explored as it relates to overarching organizational systems and emergent systemic behaviors driven by programmatic content, structural logics and physical setting. Program and structure are considered to be creative components of design rather than fixed entities. Students are

given the Emerging Professionals Companion along with updated Intern Development Program (IDP) information. The working methodologies introduced in 1GA are expanded and refined to allow each student to continue to developing conceptual frameworks and productive techniques for the creation of architecture. As the first part of the Graduate Program’s Comprehensive Design Sequence, this course challenges students to design both site and buildings accommodating individuals with varying physical disabilities.

// THE UTERUS PROJECT The Uterus project is a Duplex house concept to be built in Frogtown, Los Angeles.

The Uterus is the first house experience of all humans and mammary animals, a fluid, an organic and warm place where bodies are developed.

In the history of humanity habitats, the second home humans found to inhabit was the caves, which are similar shape than the uterus. Caves were found in nature, a natural womb that protects the body from the weather and wild animals.

After all housing development throughout history, Geometries

were formed and developed within time, where Modernism took its place in the last century. Recently, parametric architecture and technological advancements brought back the possibilities to return to nature plasmatic shapes, where humans are able to revive their origins by populating organic shapes, inspired by nature, being closer from their ancestors.

As Zaha Hadid says “There are 360 degrees, so why to stick to one?“

// ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS I 1GB // JACOB CHAN AND JOHN BOHN spring 2017

This course is intended as an introduction to environmental systems in architecture. Beginning with an understanding of basic thermodynamics and climatic conditions, the course will use architectural precedents to examine the fundamental issues of passive and as an introduction to active energy systems as they apply to architectural production and performance. Students will learn the physics of the building environment, basic environmental conditions and human comfort. Particular attention will be paid to issues of sustainability. Students will undertake preliminary assessments of client and user needs, building codes and design

strategies that leverage careful site analysis in order to inform building location, orientation, massing and geometry. Integrating these issues into complex works of architecture will serve to synthesize of these ideas and demonstrate the performance of environmental systems in architecture. Significant historical, cultural and technological developments in environmental engineering will also be discussed. Finally, contemporary simulation technologies will be introduced as a tool for design and the application the concepts covered in the course.

// DESIGN STUDIO I 1GA // MATTHEW AU Fall 2016

The March 1 curriculum begins with what we call the core. The core offers students a common platform—a shared language and value system—that unifies the class into one coherent whole. It builds in the student body a kind of “class consciousness” through a deep appreciation for contemporary technologies and the public conversations on architecture. 1GA is the first design course in a sequence of four foundation studios that constitute the MArch 1 core curriculum. One of the primary goals of the introductory studio is to develop technical rigor and fine craft in working with contemporary architectural tools. This foundational studio is, therefore, inevitably a training ground for techniques and an introduction to ideas that can be fully exercised in advanced studios

and thesis work. But the study of the tools is never merely technical.

In studio, we place an emphasis on a conceptual understanding of representational techniques in the history of architectural production at large. Students, therefore, are asked to develop an intellectual framework for their formats and compositions in the design of spatial organizations and architectural form. When students develop their first building proposals, they begin by engaging a series of abstract problems already present in the discipline, and they transform them to the requirements of use, inhabitation, and site context. As a result, from the very first semester, we engage contemporary debates in architectural discourse through material and technical production.

// The Cell The Cell is a Library project located in Los Angeles.

Its symetrical form was inspired by the shape of a human cell, where you can find its nuclei of the building as its main circulation space.

In plan, the interior is bisected laterally against the gradient into an open floor to ceiling atrium space, occupied mostly by the reading room, and a raised book collection.

In section, the shift between the two geometries translates into

the extremes of a low entry and a large interior. The scale of both spaces are amplified by the exaggerated thickness of the walls and ceiling.

The red of the library’s skin and interior brings the audience to experiment a cosy, confortable space which was inspired by the biological shape of an human cell.

// MATERIAL AND TECTONICS 1GA // PAVEL GETOV

This class introduces students to fundamental structural principles with a strong emphasis on materials, material properties and industrial processes. This course is an investigation into the anatomy of material and its potential use in architecture. The goal of the class is to provide students with a thorough understanding of materials, and of the design methods, techniques, and industrial

processes by which they acquire meaning in an architectural and building context. By means of direct testing and experimentation, the class explores technical and rational manipulations of traditional as well as novel materials, aiming to develop an expansive understanding of their physical nature, environmental impact and possible reuse.

// INTRO TO CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE 1GA //TODD GANNON

This course introduces and contextualize key concepts and ideas in 20th-century and contemporary architecture to provide a foundation for the study of both the discipline and practice of architecture. After introducing fundamental concepts related to architectural form and composition, lectures will focus on major 20th-century movements including modernism and postmodernism, will review major projects and polemics of the periods, and unpack salient theoretical arguments associated with them. The course

will devote significant attention to specific relationships between the organization, configuration, and articulation of buildings and the historical, conceptual, and cultural arguments with which they are associated. The course will also emphasize the use of historical precedents by architects and the cultural and social implications of design decisions, particularly those related to issues of diversity and social equity.

// HYBRID TRANS MATERIALITIES

by Anaisa Franco

98

With the development of modern industrial societies and the rapid growth of the metropolis in the beginning of 20th century, started the philosophical movement called Modernism which shaped and enormously influenced the last century in the field of arts, architecture, literature and so on. Tafuri says, “the entire cycle of modernism (he refuses any periodization of a postmodernism) as a unitary development in which the avant-garde’s vision of utopia comes to be recognized as an idealization of capitalism.” Some theorists define modernism as a mode of thinking. Todd Gannon says “the central concern was legibility, not abstraction” Modernism has passed. Nowadays we live in a world of the digital, hybrid, trans, parametricism, genetic advancements, transparency and network connection. People are not gender defined anymore, there is a hybridization of the masculine and feminine roles in society. Insemination in vitro is largely used together with a boom of sexual freedom and homosexual liberty, the world becomes more open to trans-hybridizations.

The transgender effect can be watched in the fields of genetics, cybernetics, art, architecture, agriculture, politics, economics and so on.

Walter Benjamin cites the advent of the new era coming “The history of every art form shows critical epochs in which a certain art form aspires to effects which could be fully obtained only with a changed technical standard, that is to say, in a new art form.” Page 12 In the Digital era, people are traversed by access, information, data, parameters and transparency. All the world is connected via the world wide web and reached in everyone’s pocket. Daily life, financial structures and all sorts of communication are made using computers and its extensions. Patrick Schumacher, the inventor of Parametricism, a term coined in 2008, a style of contemporary avant-garde architecture, and successor to postmodernism says: “Parametricism is the great new style after modernism. I consider

postmodernism and deconstructivism to be transitional styles or transitional episodes. I think that architectural innovation and history proceed by the succession of styles.” Page 74 Besides working as a New Media Artist for over 10 years, I am also part of an Architecture Master program at SCI-Arc in Los Angeles, where the students were asked to analyze the sculpture “Smoke” by the artist Tony Smith, located at LACMA Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Tony Smith, born in 1912 was a pioneering sculptor often cited as a figure in American Minimalist sculpture. He received an education in architecture and art, working as a “Clerk-of-the-Works” in the Office of Frank Lloyds Wright where he found space to expand his creativity.

He built a huge body of work mostly composed by Geometrical shapes made out of steel presented in public spaces.

During the Master course, we were asked to create a succession of hybridizations using Tony Smith’s Smoke cell as a starting point.

The smoke cell is a complex mixture of tetrahedrons and rectangles, which enclosure in a complex geometrical unit. By hybridizing it with a cube on point I could generate unique geometries that became a building as a conclusion of the semester. During the semester, we were introduced to a series of working methodologies as generative modeling, drawing, diagramming and analytical mapping, whose techniques were applied by using several types of papers and foam which were folded and became a library as a conclusion. Greg Lynn says “A multitude of pli based words-folded, pliant, supple, flexible, plaited, pleated, plicating, complicitous, compliant, complaisant, complicated, complex and multiplicitous to name a few - can be invoked to describe this emerging urban sensibility of intensive connections.” . Page 45. Those working methodologies enabled us to built dozen different shapes using a master parameter, by doing that we could not only experiment with geometry, form, tectonics and materiality but also to be introduced to parametricism and fundamental issues of architecture.

ibility, Abstraction, and the Discipline of Architecture,” in Mitra Kanaani and David Kopek, eds., The Routledge Handbook for Architecture and Design: Established and Emerging Trends (London: Routledge, forthcoming).

HT From a general point of view, parametricism uses organic shapes, forms which are similar to the planet we live and how our body and brain works.

The planet Earth grows trees, plants and its covered 70 per cent with malleable water, even the stones are not squared. The first humans inhabiting the planet used to live in caverns whose shape resembles more parametric architecture than the modernist square boxes we use to live. The macro and micro world are all organic, functional and regenerative, which means that we humans would feel much more comfortable in spaces that reflect our bodies and complex systems we carry inside us and outside in nature.

In the 90’s Greg Lynn proposed a biomorphic architecture with his project ‘Embryological House’ which was a born-digital project. Within this project, Greg was rethinking the values beyond modernist to an organic, flexible, genetic approach generated by computer aided software. He argues “In biology, complication is the act of an embryo folding in upon itself as it becomes more complex. To become complicated is to be involved in multiple complex, intricate connections.” Page 45.

As the living entities grow and mature, does the knowledge and the creation of a style. By analyzing the case of Frank Gehry, whose initial forms was inspired by the shape of a fish that evolved within time and becomes an enormous body of work. The same happened in the case of Zaha Hadid born in Baghdad, Iraq, when at the age of eleven she became fascinated by photographs of the Marsh Arabs in southern Iraq, whose medieval shapes floating under water became one of her principal sources of inspiration.

Concluding, the generators of new forms, the creators (artists and architects) can find their inspiration in the outside world of their field or when disciplines hybridize within other fields. Recently I have been fascinated by terms as Synthetic design, Biomorphic design, Neoplasmatic design, Adaptative Architecture, Bioreboot, isomorphic architecture and genetic architecture. Patrick Schumacker says “Radical innovation presupposes newness.

Newness is first of all just otherness. The new is produced by blind mechanisms rather than creative thought. Strategic selection is required to secure communicative continuity and adaptive pertinence.” Page 68.

My work as an artist and an aspiring architect will reflect in the new possibilities to create organic, synthetic, biological structural spaces that would share senses with people. Heart of the city, a piece I created for VIVID light Festival in Sydney is an example of how senses can be expanded with objects. The work is an interactive public art sculpture that pulses 3.

light according to the heart beat of the people. The piece aims to bring closer the heartbeat of the citizens by creating a heart to the city where people could hang out and experience an expansion of their own heart shared with others.

By analyzing the fact that the planet we live in are all composed of biological entities and autonomous living systems and organisms, why not architecture can become alive and sensible organisms that can share with us humans -- intelligent beings capable of sensing with several complex senses the world around us. Moreover, if all animals and humans are protected with a layer of skin, why not architecture could be inspired by this fact and could have their own biological and autonomous technological protections?

What will come after parametricism? In the last decade parametricism seems to be the predominat avant-garde style, which is hybridizing with the digital network of world wide web and its extensions forming smart homes. The popularization of smart homes will come mixed with genetics transformations, organic materials, cybernetics and physical computing, growing an accessible hybrid sustainable trans material world where people will be more conscious about the planet they are residing.

// A QUESTION AFTER A QUESTION

by Anaisa Franco Question: Are technological advancements, economical and political power prescribing the language of architecture style that shaped our past and will shape our future of form? What are people digesting today?

Each generation developed their own style which became possible by the popularization of what one day used to be the newest technology, the most Avant-garde form and the untouchable concepts.

All this happen in the complex Metropolis, where you can find not only an accumulation of knowledge of artistic, scientific and intellectual production, but also lies the arena where politics, economics, consumption and industries play the game of capitalism.

In one hand, Tafuri exemplifies the Metropolis using the artwork by Munch “The Scream” which portraits a typical urban experience, of living in a city which functions as a machine whose purpose is to extract value from its citizens and to provide a place for crowds to gather and to consume in mass scale. Tafuri concludes “the city is an instrument for coordinating the cycle of production-distributionconsumption.” page 17. [1] On the other hand, the controlled system we live can also be visualized in Foucault’s theory about the Panopticon, where he proposes a laboratory of power in which experiments are carried out on prisoners and staff. It can be seen as a diagram of power reduced to its ideal form, showing operations of power by increasing the number of people who can be controlled, and decreasing the number needed to operate it. It gives power over people’s minds through architecture. As it can be inspected from outside, there will be no danger of tyranny.

In contrast, Koolhaas thinks the metropolis as a flow of humanist desire. He says “Since its instrumentarium of true modernity creates states and situations that have never existed before, it can never

escape its aspect of fabrication - of being the result of human fantasy. ” [2] The core role of capitalism is to create desire in the mass by planting superficial necessities that are spread using mediums of mass communication systems provided at each time. Once it was journal, radio, tv or internet, all mediums that shapes the mind of the masses controlled by the economical power, political and financial interests. The masses receive, accumulates and digest those subliminal messages. Koolhaas says “ The true ambition of the Metropolis is to create a world totally fabricated by man, i.e., to live inside fantasy.” [3] The technology substitutes the natural reality that is been exhausted by the density of human consumers. The new forms are shaped with the sweat of the controlled mass and the old can not wait to die, giving space to the rise of the unknown.Which flavor does the political and economical language have when digestion comes? What form does it have?

How does the creative people digest all those messages created by the system?

// NEWNESS

by Anaisa Franco Its interesting to see how each time and generation in the History of the World happens to have similar artistic production regarding of its epoque, political and technological circumstances. Art is the expression of politics, time and technology, it reflects how people of certain generation are affected by what happened in the world.

It’s a complex tool to immortalize history and reinterpret the world of aesthetics, form and concepts. By artistic expression, we can see how people were emotionally affected by History and Politics.

There will be always someone fighting to open the doors for the new possibilities and showing tradition is over. As Walter Benjamin say “The conventional is uncritically enjoyed, and the truly new is criticized with aversion.” p. 43 [1] The artists and architects of Modernism were producing almost the same but with a small change. A unique person or a certain group of people start a movement and it seems that all other creators follows that movement style reproducing what is trend of that time.

We can perceive that in Minimalist art or Land Art. Rosalind Kraus specifies “I have been insisting that the expanded field of postmodernism occurs at a specific moment in the recent history of art. It is a historical event with a determinant structure. It seems to me extremely important to map that structure and that is what I have begun to do here. ” p. 44. [2] Those similarities in art production in that certain generation is totally related with the scientific technological advancements and availability of that time. We also have to consider the social and political movements of that certain generation and try to analyze why those artists were creating in certain form, shape and concepts. As Walter Benjamin says in this text The work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction “The manner in which human sense percep[1] Benjamin, Walter, and J. A. Underwood.

tion is organized, the medium in which it is accomplished, is determined not only by nature but by historical circumstances as well.” [3] Page 4.

If we analyze the Futurism Artistic movement that originated in Italy in the early 20th Century, which production had an emphasis in speed, violence and technology. Its time in History totally demystifying their type of production and the reason they were creating certain images, concepts and manifestos. The Futurist Manifesto had declared, “We will glorify war —the world’s only hygiene —militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers, beautiful ideas worth dying for, and scorn for woman.” [4] As they were living in time of war, development of belic industry and fascism, Futurism was a registration of that time in form of artistic expression that didn’t last for a long time since several artists died in the war. After the war, people had other concerns that was meaningful to start other movements of renovation since everything was destroyed and people had to basically rebuild the countries and recover from traumatic war experiences. Futurism influenced many other art movements, including Art Deco, Vorticism, Constructivism, Surrealism and Dada. As says Walter Benjamin “The history of every art form shows critical epochs in which a certain art form aspires to effects which could be fully obtained only with a changed technical standard, that is to say, in a new art form.” P 12 The forms of art evolute with time, passing through various shapes, aesthetics. But always new art created has the references of old art, as when a new human was born, it bring the dna from its ancestors. As Deleuze says “A copy truly resembles something only to the extent that it resembles the Idea of the thing.” P48
