CREATURES OF THE SCRUBBER

Bio-Technological Manifesto

We have not witnessed the ‘real’ forest, but only our notions of it. The old Forest is an abandoned place, that can no longer return to nature. Instead, it must revert to the next nature, becoming an involuntary park. The forest is an artifcial system once humans are involved in this technological matrix, the system becomes an untameable creature that mirrors the principles of nature, adhering to the laws of entropy, growth, ageing, and fnally decay.

RUBBER

THE FOREST GAZE

On the far right side, the A0 sized drawing respond to a site visit in the London Green Belt, incorporating three mythical creatures that bring an artifcial authenticity into our immediate surroundings.

Whether its Engineered D-Log prospers by triggering human empathy, plug-in Jellies emit beautiful ambient light with intensity mirroring the pollution levels in the surroundings or Sylvapurex produces a loud sound as it faps its wings across the forest sky.

Creature Profles

Journey Through an Artifcial Forest and Artifcial Lake 1

Virginia Water is a created landscape, designed as part of the Crown Estate and is typical of much of UK forestry in its variety and its history.

Through an examination of this landscape, with aim to ask how the public perceives forests and delve into the perspective of “silviculturists.”

Within this exploration, the concept of how we visually perceive a forest through subjective eyes becomes evident, giving rise to the notion that the forest operates as a system that requires subjective interpretation, planning, and management.

We live in a society where simulations often hold more infuence, satisfaction, and meaning than the things they are meant to represent. Media technologies play a pivotal role in our process of constructing meaning.

The concept of a viewing device is proposed as media between visitors and a waterfall, with the aim to provoke a reconsideration of the implications for our understanding of what is ‘made’ and what is ‘born.’

This concept is presented by recording a waterfall on video and employing artifcial intelligence (AI) to recreate a series of water simulations.

London Green Belt - Threatened Areas 3

The Green Belt fnds itself on the brink of a paradoxical situation within London. On one hand, it serves as an initiative designed to shield the city from environmental disasters and enhance air quality. On the other hand, London grapples with a surge in population and the urgent necessity to accommodate residents amidst fnancial constraints and the soaring cost of living, leading to unsustainable living conditions.

With ample available land in the Green Belt, the question arises: What should it be utilised for?

Technology Wants 4

From the humble stone axe to the ubiquitous mobile phone, humanity has continually ushered in a diverse array of technologies to enhance our inherent capabilities. It is nearly inconceivable to envision a world devoid of technology. Despite our symbiotic relationship with it and our inescapable immersion in a technological landscape, we often remain relatively oblivious to the pervasive infuence of technology in our lives.

BREATHABLE GIZMOLOGIES

Sense Extension via Breathing

The project takes a half-scientifc, half-performative approach by reading human breath, interpreting data that refects stress through rhythm and pressure, amplifying the sensory experience by a wearable ‘architecture’.

IES 9

Air as Intangible Medium to Extend Human Sense

The project’s initiation aims to prompt a critical inquiry into how we can raise environmental awareness without relying on conventional approaches. By staging an unconventional environmental protest in front of a construction site, it poses the question:

What if, under the conditions of dwindling fresh air, the Earth’s vast interconnected system surpasses the physical and mental capacities of humans to cope with?

THE

BRIEF

1PROTOTYPE - Breathable Gizmo

Aim of this prototype is to speculate about a mysterious creature that interprets and decodes breath patterns to facilitate communication among individuals, which serves as a mediator, connecting people through breath.

. A highly precise thermal sensor integrated into a modifed face-mask captures data on both the exhalation and inhalation of air.

. Sending data to Arduino microcontroller

. Developing a program to compute and compare multiple data sets obtained from different individuals’ readings.

. Transmitting signal to the relay module to manage both the air pump connected to the infatable wearable around a person’s neck.

DESIGN OUTPUTS

‘Telepathy’ is a term describing the direct communication of thoughts or feelings without using speech, writing, or other conventional methods.

Inspired by this terminology, introducing “airpathy,” where breath becomes a part of telepathy, employs the same methodology to facilitate communication between individuals.

The project aims to explore collaboration between AI And Architects with the integration of Virtual technology (AR, MX, VR) to manifest a scenario of a ‘Phygital’ (Physical and Digital) City Landscape.

London as a Collection of Urban Constellations 1

The project originates from the study of the 3x3 Rubik’s Cube. Inspired by the processes of solving (algorithm) and scrambling (creating new constellations) Rubik’s Cube, guides the project towards the idea of a concept that scrambles the existing elements in the city to create a new urban landscape.

We picked Tottenham court road as our first editable zone.

We as an aid to design site conditions camera devices as the output from these re-editing the city.

Finally, the Physical model promotes the training of AI by humans without clear objectives or a defined end goal when it comes to moving each block.

5:27 - 5:31

Here we designed an interface for viewers to determine and qualify what AI is generating. As the computer has no form of recognising, so we visualise those data from prompts.

5:31 - 5:39 Here is our new team member, who underwent an interview conducted by the AI system.

As AI shows more potential in the role of the mediator, which allows architects to focus more on the design part.

This is our meditation room, and play the role of the mediator here. This is a space, that serves various purposes, including conducting interviews, engaging in discussions about project expectations with contractors, and resolving any concerns or complaints they may have.

We are designed not just to respond with rationality, but by analysing speech patterns, social media activities, and personal profiles to customize our services for individual needs.

So here is our office working space, a space that used to be in front of the desk is now shifting to exploring by walking.

Thanks to Mixed reality and AI technology, we can easily be engaged with the material and virtual world simultaneously.

Today, I will work on these four new models just delivered on-site. The rail and platform holding the model help us to

During the training, our focus lies primarily on observation and commentary rather than pursuing a specific objective. Each building component possesses the capability of dynamic modification, leading to an infinite number of iterations until we decide to halt the process.

envision a future where individuals replaced architects.

Our thoughts will be transformed into textual commands for AI. With the aid of MX glasses, as we stroll down the streets, we will witness a dynamic transformation.

Each person will showcase their unique designs, and we will have the opportunity to collaborate on these designs with others. This convergence of design will foster a sense of unity among people, allowing them to express themselves creatively.

Cooper:

9:00 - 9:49

Presently, architects can establish a framework for capturing buildings through lenses, while also constructing a comprehensive prompts database.

It is artificial intelligence, but it is evolving towards natural intelligence.

Mixed reality will transition into integration with reality itself. Our perception shapes our understanding of reality, and reality, in turn, reflects who we are. To observe the world is to have the power to edit it.

image captured on two sides of the camera on glasses and overlay the processed images in the format of point clouds. Tracking points calculate the users' location and white reflective painting helps AI generate the depth map. This allows the system to achieve a precise point cloud generation, which represents the physical space.

engaging within the physical space, we can observe a dynamic change that converts from imagination by typing commands. Through AI, renderings can be generated by utilizing our database, allowing for a re-editing of the site. This process is referred to as "training." And the more training we have done, the more accurate and detailed the rendering output will be.

This summer programme worked with a diverse team of specialists, from tree falling to robot controlling, to reestablishes the interconnected relationship among designer, maker, and artefact, fostering a holistic and collaborative design process.

TREE TRUSS WEBS - ROBOTIC FABRICATION WORKFLOW

Small beach branches are embraced for their natural shapes, with the goal of maximizing the inherent beauty of the trees.

Each piece undergoes an initial scanning process using Photogrammetry, and a robot then precisely cuts it to ft the truss cord.
