_machines/like:me

Machines Like Me, will investigate the dynamic relationships between technology, humans, and architecture. Between the city and machines that have spatial influences and consequences. Projects will focus on spatialising the interactions and interfaces with machines and technologies, and imagine and hallucinate new users, novel uses and reimage the spatial grammar of buildings. Design as communicative technology, architecture as relational medium and buildings as interaction machines.

Ian McEwan’s novel ‘Machines Like Me’, explores a speculative environment where the synthetic and the organic converge, exploring the transactional and performative dimensions of human-machine interactions. McEwan’s prose serves as a protocol, delineating the parameters of a society negotiating the ontological boundaries of technology, artificial intelligence and human identity, navigating a labyrinth of moral quandaries. These interactions are a form of spatial software and design, that reshapes the cultural operating system of the city. An architecture of thought and the architecture of space.

Architecture and technology are inextricably linked, creating a complex interplay between humans and their built environments. Design is itself a technology in the sense that it operates as an active protocol, orchestrating spatial practices and infrastructures that shape social, political, and economic dynamics. Buildings as machines. From Vitruvius to Le Corbusier, and the Renaissance to the High-Tech, buildings have been signifiers of technological endeavour, tracing the historical integration of engineering and architecture.

An internet-of-things, platform technologies, immersive and extended reality applications, automation etc., further, mediate our interactions with the city and architecture through its various interfaces— some benign, many sublime, and others malicious. From the elevators to Google Maps, from social media to automated landscapes – machines and technologies curate our experiences with architecture and within urban spaces, creating an architectural language of their own. The technologies and machines themselves ultimately become invisible, however they remain ubiquitous and omnipresent, embedded in the perceptions and experiences we have with the world.

We are also on the cusp of technological singularity: artificial intelligence, quantum computing, automation and the verge of sentient machines. Simultaneously, many essential buildings are now almost completely devoid of human presence. From manufacturing to production, from data storage to fulfillment centres, special economic zones to human exclusion zones – what is the agency of architecture in this epoch? What are its possibilities and affordances? How do we deploy these emergent patterns, behaviours, users and economies to reconceptualise the built environment?

The first aspect will be to systematically observe and document phenomena arising from techno-cultural shifts, and interactions and encounters with machines. This will be followed by narrative construction and form-finding exercises, facilitating the conceptualisation of projects aimed at addressing, emphasising, or speculating on these identified conditions.

The second aspect will be to choreograph these interfaces and interactions, to design additions, augmentations and retrofit buildings into productive entities i.e. ‘farms’ – datacentres, food and energy production, fulfillment centres etc. that explore and articulate how these emergent technologies, machines and subjectivities will reveal new spatial relationships, forms, typologies and tectonics.

There is a peculiar aesthetic and language between the city and technology and the convergence of humans and machines. Imperfect urban and architectural realms and flawed technology. Paradoxical creatures both enigmatic and capricious.

DESIGN STUDIO: IN THE ROUND STUDIO LEADER: Amy Muir

In a world where we understand the inherent value of ‘space’, the public realm carries a multitude of roles and responsibilities. It cannot afford to provide one role but needs to fulfill many.

The memorial is typically defined as a structure to support a form of memorialisation denoted through statues, objects, built forms, spaces to occupy. They are located within the public realm defining a particular time and place.

Royal Commissions, a process for undertaking a public inquiry, have instigated the commissioning of memorials for matters that are not concluded but rather are in motion. The memorial not only becomes a place of remembrance but is defined as a political intervention, places to pause, places to provide support, places for education.

Hierarchy is one of the inherent conditions associated with architecture allowing us to read what are the most and least important conditions within space. Historically memorialisation has been governed by hierarchy but in more recent times the memorial has sort to find ways to reduce hierarchy to provide spaces of acknowledgment for all. IN THE ROUND will examine the role of hierarchy not only through the lens of memorialisation but also through the civic building and how one might define and challenge notions of hierarchy when designing within the public realm.

Students will be designing a space of memorialisation with additional facilities associated with education and support. An intervention within the public realm that provides many purposes for many people. The studio will be undertaking investigations into the memory of place and how this informs a language of place through exploring a number of design methodologies.

Students will be engaged with rigorous site, program and precedent analysis through research, collage and drawing, drawing, drawing. Model making will be used as a tool for understanding form and relationships to scale. Students will be working throughout the semester on individual projects but are encouraged to support and learn via their peers.

STUDIO LEADERS

DR JOSHUA LYE & MARY SPYROPOULOS

Due to the imminent population growth, we will continue to build new urban areas at an increasingly high density. New high density developments must engage with the complexities of contemporary practice by generating alternative design models and processes that are capable of responding to different conditions and challenges.

In this context, the studio will be looking at new building blocks for future living types. Students will hybradise building assemblages with notions of co-living, co-working, sharing economies and industrial 4.0 programming within architectural space. Providing an opportunity to wrestle with basic questions of how we live, what kind of spaces we need and want, and how this affects the dynamics between architecture and social inhabitants in our future urban environments.

The studio will be investigating medium scale residential typologies on a speculative site. Investigating potential for future living beyond established models, connecting its design patterns directly to local physics, exponential technologies, construction methods of prefabrication, disruptive patterns, emerging community spaces and social dynamics.

Students will learn about a design systems that are computational and universal through the simplicity of discrete building blocks, connection logics and complex aggregations. Students will explore a platform of architecture that allows for virtually infinite combinatorics and emergence of complex tectonic states through the collective action of underlying elements.

Critically students will gain an understanding of how to design through development of plan, section and its manifestation as architectural space. Students will critically examine historic and current works of architects such as Sou Fujimoto, Moshe Safdie, Jean Renaudie, Daniel Kohler and others that begin to offer rich tectonic models of architectural production. Through these investigations, students will produce proposals for high density, hybridised residential buildings that speculate new ways of future living and working.

Students will be working in teams throughout the semester. Prior knowledge of Rhino and Grasshopper is highly encouraged but not required.

STUDIO LEADERS: Joshua Lye and Mary Spyropoulos

Technomads are potential inhabitants of any given territory. They are ‘techno’ by nature of the economic, technological, and demographic shifts in contemporary life, and ‘nomads’ in their modes of occupation. The technomad is a subject in the post-structuralist and post-humanist tradition, whose decomposition into its surroundings is of more interest to us. They are Derrida’s parasites, Deleuze and Guattari’s nomads, Lyotard’s vagabonds, or Toyo Ito’s ‘Tarzans in the media jungle’.

This semester, we will occupy West Melbourne. We will follow the trajectory of various technomad figures in films and uncover the vibrant forces of multiple sites across this suburb. The marginality of the technomads is precisely their agency, by following their disappearance we will uncover the smooth space of such territory.

The studio is interested in films and maps as both analytical and procedural techniques. It is interested in how the fictionalised worlds projected on digital screens become intertwined with the physical marks left by our earliest ancestors. It is curious about deviant ways of inhabiting landscapes and waterways, and fundamentally subverting traditional hierarchical pastoral modes of contemporary living. Our ecological trajectory can be dead-reckoned, projecting toward an ossification in our means of occupation.

Students will engage in ‘mapping the site’ and ‘mapping onto the site’. They will create short films and large maps, consolidating their findings into a series of formal exquises throughout the first half of the semester. This studio focuses on traversing small sites, uncovering their earthly qualities, manipulating them through moving images and layered drawings, and examining how this informs a ‘geofictional’ approach: ‘geo’ as a concern for ecology, and ‘fiction’ as an insistence on narrative.

The studio asks you to maintain the buoyancy of the technomads in your investigations until arriving at a final site for a large consolidated project. Consider the goal of such undertaking as realising a project that is not just mysterious, perhaps containing some uncertainty or even an element of terror… but hopefully with a touch of fun.

Muse is a sequel to the BAS studio Odyssey. The basic studio pedagogy leans on Homer’s The Odyssey and its composition. Taking place after the epic events of the Iliad (an established history), the poem is a sequel and further exploration of established events. When procedurally overlayed over the anatomy of the studio and its focus on the city, it suggests that studio outcome can propose a sequel of the city with opportunities to develop a critical reflection on place, culture, and its histories, giving agency to post-events, a counter-narrative to the tabula rasa of a colonised Melbourne urbanity.

The core design question raised in this studio is what is the role of context and elements in architecture. Do they matter? How are they and how can they be deployed in the design of public buildings and the urban realm that can respond to place, revealing or examining hidden narratives for a stronger collective understanding of the city? Can our built environment put a mirror up to place and can it engage, surprise, and/or provoke us?

UPPER YARRA 01

Tutor: Claire Scorpo

Mon AM + Thur PM

The Upper Yarra Valley, located approximately 60km east of Melbourne, is renowned for its natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. However, it faces several significant challenges. The region struggles with economic difficulties, limited infrastructure, and environmental issues, most significantly bushfires. Housing affordability is also critical, exacerbated by the rise of shortterm rentals reducing available housing stock, and a lack of diverse housing options for older residents. Additionally, there is a significant amount of unused land, aging infrastructure and building stock that could be revitalised to address some of these issues, as well as an established forestry industry that is in the process of shutting down due to changes in legislation.

In response, RMIT has partnered with the Yarra Ranges Council as part of a working group aimed at addressing these regional challenges and leveraging opportunities.

During the semester, we will engage in detailed site investigations to uncover and understand the existing history and built language of the area. Using detailed drawings, mappings, and physical model making, we will propose design strategies for several abandoned buildings and sites, aiming to make positive contributions to the area. Projects will range in scale from small adaptive interventions to larger urban-sized developments and will explore a range of typologies.

The studio will include a full-day site visit on Thursday 25th July, meetings with the council and local interest groups, and an exhibition to present our work to the community at the end of semester.

There may be costs to the students of up to $50.

| STUDIO DESCRIPTION

This studio focuses on the intricate relationship between ephemeral forces and their amalgamation and superposition in the world. Its primary objective is to explore the utilisation of digital generative and AI animated processes to create an articulated architectural form. The design process revolves around employing forces as a catalyst for style, environment, and aesthetics, aiming to understand and ground the concepts of ephemerality and permanency within architecture.

The studio seeks to capture ephemeral forces and the interplay of multiple systems within a single scene, using both indexical and non-indexical approaches. The objective is to design a field condition that harmonizes with an ephemeral environment, accomplished by fusing diverse forces to create geometries that transcend blobism.

Throughout the semester, students will develop workflows that facilitate feedback between diverse algorithms in the VFX program Houdini. This approach enables the exploration of the amalgamation and transition between various systems, capturing formal complexity. The studio leverages the power of VFX physics engine simulations to envision architecture in new and innovative ways, moving beyond mere hybrid or collage creation. The goal is to achieve a high level of transition and explore novel design possibilities.

The first half of the semester will focus on the formation of ephemeral abstractions, aiming to unravel methods of capturing ephemeral forces and searching for abnormality. In the second half, the focus will shift towards translating these abstractions into 3D field formations, involving a hands-on, iterative, and messy process in the Royal Botanical Garden, Melbourne.

This studio offers an opportunity for students to transcend the boundaries of traditional architectural design and explore the potential of animated ephemerality and digital generative processes. Through extensive experimentation, iterations, and transformations, students will be challenged to think beyond conventional approaches, fostering the development of innovative design solutions.

Additionally, the studio places a strong emphasis on understanding the principles of morphogenetics and morphodynamics. By integrating these concepts, students will gain insights into how forms can evolve and adapt in response to internal and external forces. This understanding will be critical as they transition from ephemeral abstractions to grounded architectural designs, ensuring that their creations are not only aesthetically compelling but also grounded in robust theoretical frameworks.

STUDIO LEADERS: Alan Kim

The idea for this studio came from a chapter of Iñaki Ábalos’ book “The good life: A guided visit to the houses of modernity”.

We’ll use his essays Picasso on vacation and Heidegger in his refuge as the launch point of a studio that is directly concerned with philosophy as a tool for understanding our current temporal and spatial circumstances and for fostering an idea of architecture in our time and place. Philosophies of existenitalism and phenomenology as they relate to the architecture of the house, public buildings and our place the city.

The idea is to use these existing philosophies as agents for your idea of architecture, acknowledging that we each exist in time and space, as does the site and the architecture, and each has a cultural, social and political framework. The interweaving of these is what interests me.

We’ll look at particular points along the Punt Road transect of the city from the outskirts of town to the bay.

We’ll take weekly readings from Ábalos, Heidegger and Loos, among others and design each week a building for a particular site that explores and corresponds with this reading. Your weekly response will be both written and drawn.

The weekly projects will amount to a village of components: landscape, apartment/office, other house, school, public toilet, art house, public house...

Bachelor of Architectural Design Hong Kong Travelling Studio Semester 2 2024

This Bachelor Design Studio will examine how Hong Kong’s creative economy has produced cultural precincts and art districts in different urban contexts, from art villages to conversions in industrial commercial buildings and heritage buildings.

We will analyse the ecologies that form around Hong Kong’s cultural spaces and compare them with precedents from Australia and abroad and produce a catalogue of artist precincts that identify how spaces of production, public exhibition and commercial activity intersect. This research will inform a final design proposal in Hong Kong for new gallery spaces and new adjacent programs and speculate of novel approaches for designing urban ecologies around art spaces,

The studio will include a 2 week study tour from Sept 1-16 where students will work closely with directors of Hong Kong based architecture practice, Collective, Betty Ng, Chi Yan Chan and Juan Minguez.
