On a wooden deck on the starboard side of the ship looking across the expanse of ocean which stretches as far as the eye can see. The soft yellow light pierces the sun setting beneath the fog haze of the water. Audible waves crashing against the hull and the whistling of sea breezes. I tilt my head upwards and look to the sky, my eyes are drawn along the antique mask frame splintering at its edges, where the expansive white silk wings bulge as natures breathe caresses them into form. It seems so real.

But it isn’t. Its fake. It’s really fragments of pixels poised across a screen.
It’s PseudoTecture. Built environments which appears and feels like it’s there but isn’t.

This ‘experience’ was looking into the latest expressions into virtual reality (VR), an artwork created by digital artist and game designer Tom Cragos for the National Gallery of Victoria’s Triennial 2017. Architecture and technology have finally met up with each other, where the syncing of movement and sight are realised. Brunelleschi would be proud of these optical renditions which render his perspective experiments so accurately on paper (or more so on screen). The formation of artificial vanishing points, foreshortening and
6
horizon lines which calculates the tilt of your head in line with what is virtually represented. Brunelleschi was not thinking about this when he represented his theory of how to accurately draw the baptistry of The Duomo but this premise if we are able to project space then we are also able to think into the future is more than applicable than ever before.

The Principles of PseudoTecture
8
“technology is the answer, but what is the question?� - Cedric Price 9
Architecture and our experience of it is progressing towards something that is no longer a physical entity. It is no longer bounded by its physical manifestation. Our society and its social, cultural and interactional elements is formed around fragmentations of pixels on a screen. Everything is online, virtual and digitised. Often distanced from the real thing. Yet architecture should remain tangible, physical and in the present? If we have progressed so far into the digital realm, then why can’t architecture be experienced in the digital ether too? There is to be a cross mutation between the digital and the physical. This is about experiencing architecture in the digital with embedded physical tendencies to excel realism.
10
Classical architecture is dead. The paradigm of classical ‘built form’ architecture and notion of styles have achieved nothing in progressing the discipline. Rabid Like a cancer, what we have built plagues the globe like an unrelenting cyst. PseudoTecture is an attack on the notion of architecture. No longer confined to buildings but one of virtual-physical worlds, the ultimate creator of experience not limited by capitalism, structure, clients or users. The concept of PsuedoTecture is a systems approach to architecture where the architect can realise a building and environment through the hybridity of virtual reality (VR) and harnessing artificial intelligent (AI) nanotechnology and swarm robotics. PseudoTecture is the breaker from the shackles of restrictions chocking the discipline.
We are obsessed with the utopian from Archigram to the Metabolists we want the ideal but we were confined squeezed, drained by realities which destroy our visions, exiling them to be confined on paper. PseudoTecture allows the user and the architect to live their most perversive desires, most wildest structures and experiences never before seen within architectures discourse. Its the creation of an allencompassing realistic immersive experience formulating visual, audible, physical and interactional relationship with architecture without the need to physically create the building at all. PseudoTecture is a system of dreams, the dreams of the architect and the dreams of the user.

The Controlled Temporal

Blur Building, Diller and Scofidio+Renfro,
13
The notion of The Controlled Temporal starts with Diller Scofidio+Renfro’s ‘Blur Building’. It explores breaking down architecture into constituent parts, a transition from previously stereotomic and tectonic architecture to that of the temporal. Yet elements of the temporal within this case are merely a mist of artificially formed fog1 without control or containment. PsuedoTecture provokes a controlling of these temporal entities on a minuet scale. If this combined with the optical realism of interactive game mechanics within VR there is the
14
potential to create architecture which can exhibit an immersive experience. The idea of the temporal isn’t new to architecture or fields of science and art but the ability to control particles or matter will add much needed substance and meaning which Diller Scofidio+Renfro simply could not create, nor desired to.

Tactility & Feeling

Figure 9 The ‘Mixed reality’ experience of walking the plank over a city scape which connects virtual reality with physical objects to create an immersive experience. Despite this experience is limiting as a room can only used for fixed programs and has spatial restraints.
Limitations of VR’s immersive technology is not within the audible or visual experience but sensory engagement with the relational in terms of tactility and physical touch. This includes the ability to feel objects and materials in a tangible way. PseudoTecture harnesses direct control over individual pieces of the temporal, allowing the creation of the other two sensory experiences which are non-existent within virtual reality. There have already been progressions of virtual reality where green screens are used with physical
20
objects which are embedded within a virtual reality environment creating a more immersive experience. Yet these are confined to a singular program or experience without the ability to adapt and change. PseudoTecture with the ability to control and move particulate matter within these environments allows the architecture to serve innumerable programs or built forms not constrained by space or physics using self-organising programmable swarm robots.
Figure 10 The ‘Kilobot’ is the size of a coin, allowing the complex arrangement of variable shapes due to its small size
Swarm robotics is the convergence of numerous robots which communicate and work collectively to complete a specific task. Their algorithms being based on social organisms within nature which undergo collaborative behaviours such as schooling of fish, flocking of birds or insect movements2-3. These robots and their ability to work collectively to formulate patterns, tasks and forms aim to progress the discipline into unmarked territory. They have already emerged within applications of science technology and biomedicine through nanotechnology. The ‘Kilobots’ by Michael Rubenstein can form specific basic tasks. Through the input of shapes, the algorithm allows each robot to function and make decisions of how to efficiently form the shape collectively4. Within PsuedoTecture these types of advancements in technology become applicable through their ability to form shapes and therefore tactile experiences. As the user moves through space, swarm robots arrange to create texture and physicality which the user can directly
interact with. As technology progresses the swarming robots can be arranged with greater accuracy and on a minuet level. The finer grained the resolution the more realistic tactile sensory engagement where not just basic forms can be represented but even textures and detailed physical profiles.

Movement & Transition

Figure 15 Alexeieff and Parkers, Pinscreen animation ‘Night on Bald Mountain’ 1933, the creation of shadows from the pinscreen exhibits a transition from static engraving techniques to those of movement within animation where frames, scenes and movies can be created.
The discourse of architecture has stagnated because of the inability to embrace kinetics. We have been infatuated with refining aesthetics rather than focusing on technological systems which will supersede the current modes of practice. Virtual Reality alone lacks the experiential properties of transitioning through space. Within ‘What about Space?’, Eeva-liisa Pelkonen discusses the idea of space as a “dynamic system” where space and being become “co-dependant” on one another5. What she highlights is that space needs to undergo a progression to further architectural discourse. PsuedoTecture creates this experience of being in space through sensory and metamorphic illusions. This allows for the being to interact with space and form without intrinsically needing to create the built environment whilst fulfilling a sensory experience holistically. PseudoTecture harnesses a system which the employs the virtual optical renditions with adaptable minuet
28
physical swarms, allowing the creation of architectural form which resembles any form, shape or vision. In PsuedoTecture moving through space can be realised with swarming and nanotechnology fragments which arrange themselves to form a tactile terrain. Alexandre Alexeieff and Claire Parkers ‘Pin Screens’ during the 1930’s, formulated this transition from the static to that of collective formations with the combination of moveable discrete elements. The conglomeration of each discrete pin collectively creates texture, animations and scenes. Alexeieff and Parker within ‘Night on Bald Mountain’ (1933) the first pinscreen animation film encapsulates the transition from static to animation. He invented the pinscreen so when light casts across the series of discrete, repetitive pins, they formed an image cast in shadow6. It was through this progression of technology and Alexeieff’s system that art was able to transition from something of static nature such as engraving to fluid
Figure 16

movie animation. Similarly, architecture needs to undergo this transition as it embodies statis rather than systems and technology condemning progression of creation. Through discrete control of nanotechnology each minuet particle uses AI to converge into forms controlled by the architect. Like pinscreens when the pins move it allows for the creation of the next frame of the animation, when the swarm robots rearrange it allows the user to experience a different part of the architecture physically whilst syncing
with optical renditions of virtual reality. In Alexeieff’s own words when one manipulates the Pinscreen it “makes the absent present”7.

Figure 17 Using swarm robotics the formation of different surfaces and forms can be achieved, this allowing the creation of physical entities within a virtual environment. As the user moves throughout the environment the swarms will rearrange to create the physical within a direct close relation to the user. This represents a transition from static architecture to one of transition movement and forces. 31
Network Embeddism

A touch through a digital-physical network
33
Kenneth Frampton famously argued for ‘Critical Regionalism’ the local, cultural and “peculiarities of a particular place”8. Yet peculiarities of place are obsolete in a digital age of placelessness. Ratti poises a modern alternative as ‘Network Specifism’ where multitudes of people contribute to a project with the ability for synchronised workflows which create global networks which are humanly “relational”9. PseudoTecture provokes an alternative network. The primary functions of architecture revolves around the notion of how people relate to one another within space and this collective vision of space. ‘Network Embeddism’ formulates like Ratti suggests “the peculiarities of a particular network”10, but rather than creation its about users being embedded physically across networks. Physical reactional tendencies are created as force can be applied to the nanotechnology accurately formulating changes in movements. What was cyberspace can now
34
become physical-cyberspace. Bodies mimicked by nanotechnology allowing you to interact whilst being physically detached. This network formulates the “programmatic alchemy”1, as Koolhaas would describe the delight of connecting absurd experiences, where “Eating oysters with boxing gloves naked,on the ninth floor11” is clearly not out of reach. This done across virtualphysical networks wherever you are with whoever you desire, dead, real or even fictitious. This cross mutation of physical and virtual environment harnesses a connection where people can feel, touch, indulge and physically relate over a virtual network. The absurd can become reality. 8.

PsuedoTecture’s, ‘Input Undefined’ is the creation of architecture which features indeterminacy and is reactional to the architects and users inputs overtime. Cedric Price with Joan Littlewood’s ‘Fun Palace’ (1959-1961) forms a similar conceptual outcome of indeterminacy and customisable architecture through technology. The ‘Fun Palace’ provided an expanded view which encompasses future thinking surrounding “information technology, cybernetics and game theory”12. As Littlewood describes “nothing is to last more than ten days… no legacy of noble contemporary architecture, quickly dating.”13 It is the valuable ideas of impermanency,
38
variable program and adaptable programmatic ideas which created a “fluid program”14. PsuedoTecture’s acts as a modern counterpart where it embodies realistic virtual environment formulating indeterminacy in functionality, adaptable program and sensory experiences controlled by emerging technologies.
38
In contemporary context Stan Allen discusses “fields” within architecture as consisting of “complex selfregulating orders”. Allen formulates that architecture should encumber a “fluid...approach”addressing changes and the “dynamics of use”15. Greg Lynns ‘Animate Form’ claims animation as an evolution of architecture, where traditional architectural visions of ‘Stasis’ embodying ideas of “permanence”, “timelessness” and “neutral space” will not progress the discipline. He argues for transition to those of “active space of forces” and “anticipated motion”16. More recently Mario Carpo in his latest writing ‘Particlised–Computational Discretism’ (2019) discusses the transition of architectural paradigms from the continuous to the discrete,“disjointed, disconnected and fragmentary” forming an “aggregational” way of building at different scales. He discusses the approach of cellular automa (CA) which uses models which divides “continuous matter, into rows of indivisible cells, then writing rules that describe simple interactions between each cell”. AI which can inherently data manage this “granularity” gives rise to the “computational discretism or particularised”17. All of these theories
evoke the transition of architecture from a singular static entity to that of the collective adaptable series of discrete elements with moveable forces. This ‘particulised’ theory are core to PsuedoTecture, where AI will control, manage and arrange on a minute scale through nanotechnology and therefore create granularity of architectural form. This combination with VR allows the creation of immersive but adaptable architectural experiences which encumbers all the senses of the user.

PseudoTecture redefines architecture. Its both metaphorically and physically a remedy to the limiting static architectural conditions of the current era. PseudoTectures is all-material, non-contextual systems approach which harnesses all-encompassing experiences. Its a freeing of the architects mind to create without limits and for the user an experience which embodies their dreams and fantasies to live within without constraints. In light of modern megastructures that are “purely quantitative”18, Koolhaas exclaims “fuck context”19, yet PseudoTecture is the context and the building. Its as small as a bathroom of swarming minute entities but as big as the universe, forever expanding for as far as the architect can create. It provides the atmosphere, comradery and collective ecstasy of mass gathering like Albert Speer without the associated genocide or destruction. Its the relational, connection to everyone fictional and real, past and present, yet no one is exactly there. PseudoTecture and Architecture forms a dichotomy. Its a new life to the pointless styles, boring iconic and the physical. Its all we ever wanted as architects and the human race. Architecture without limits.
