Magok, located on the Han River Seoul, was the site of an international competition. The task was to enliven the site with recreational and leisure opportunities, provide ammenities for tourists and visitors, situate housing harmoniously with appropriate commercial opportunities, and to respond to the site’s environment with attention to sustainability and ecology.

The river itself provides resource for water-related leisure activites and commercial opportunity, taking into consideration its use as both a harbour and its asthetics as a waterway. The design accounts for both the buildings and the landscape in which they stand.

Based on the book Local Code by Michael Sorkin, this project was developed with a code for circulation systems (‘gradnets’) including streets, boulevards, water canals and transport systems.

Working on an idea without an actual site made me decide to work diagrammatically, justifying the hexagonal shape with its possibilities of limitless rotation, copy and mirroring abilities.

This project seeks the development of an urban environment beyond conventional town planning. Houses can be more than a collection of objects in a city; they can be more than collective aggregations of stacked units.

“Officer Ribbon” introduces ribbons which generate topography including all habitations and services for the future town. The town revolves around the existing train station and grows around the proposed Piazza.

Diagonal streets generate the ribbon between the Princess Hyighway and the Pakenham Bypass. These roads will still provide access for cars. The remaining area will be solely pedestrian orientated.

All structures will be framed by trees or forest-like conditions. The activity of planting trees will be as important as the creation of inhabitable space. “Officer Ribbon” has no defined edge or limit of growth.

The town grows with the generation of topography. Responding to Michael Sorkin’s Local Code: “...a City has to have at least 25 mountains.” Officer Ribbon not only creates the possibility to change vertical location, it allows for actual inhabitation of the landscape.

It also provides a second circulation system above the existing topography, defined by Sorkin as “Second Grade”.

Generating Identity / Economy The Piazza The Piazza functions as the center of the city, providing facilities for leisure, entertainent and information. Eash ‘studio cave’ caters for a multitude of uses and supports opportunities for new ideas from the local community.

These caves may supply local businesses a means to identify with the town but may also give people a reason or place to meet.

Beside local businesses, the Piazza should also include places for art galleries, theatres, cinemas, bookshops, libraries, bars and cafes.

The topography of the Piazza invites one to use the studios as public furniture, to sit or lie on, or to present theatre or public speaches upon.

Trees have an important role to frame, provide shade and define areas.

Trainstation The Trainstation will be the entrane to the city.

The train operates underground in the area of the Piazza and people have to find their way to the surface. Once arrived, the Trainstation building provides a sheltered introduction to the Piazza from where one might explore the studio caves.

The building complex also includes a concert hall and exhibition space for larger events.

Construction A frame structure (metal, wood) will provide the static requirements for the development of the ribbons. After installing a waterproof layer, earth will cover the frame and the green surface can be prepared. The earch will have different conditions (e.g. rammed earth, fertile soil) depending on its use.

Habitation The introduced ribbon will service all forms of living, working & communal activities.

Depending on the slopes, more than 90% of ribbons will be walkable.

Gardens / Agriculture Each Habitation will have an area for gardens and small scale agriculture. Access to light is essential.

Cemetery Areas of increasing life need solutions for their dying parts. These cemeteries suggest being the final display for each citizen of Officer Ribbon. Rather than being a cemetery on accessed by family members and friends, the cemetery allows the city to honor their citizens in public. The boxes of representation get filled chronologically. The cemetery becomes a democratice timeline for the life of the town.

Embedded in the native and regrown bushland, these places retain the possibility for intimate experiences with the past.

The Tower was generated and developed from geometry studies of Alessi products. All objects evolve from one Base-Geometry.

This project considers the role of architecture as national jewlery. Architecture which presents itself in the city as an object, reference point and center of attention, entirely rejecting and purely selfsufficient.

Light Series

Light material

Light refraction has a distinct ability to transform the perception of spatial relationships. That is, we have the ability to turn light into a dynamic material through the interaction between light cast upon a surface, or through a series of surfaces. The transformative qualities of these dynamic interactions of light and material become a means by which we are able to enter a dialogue between space and light. In this sense, the house becomes both the projector of light and a screen upon which that light is

projected. Capturing, rerouting, bouncing, refracting, reflecting, absorbing, shattering, plowing become the operations by which we manipulate both light and surface.

PALS Plasticity and Autotrophic Life Society.

A group of emergentists working with potential.

In an increasingly biotechnological era, what might life become?

Are we developing new *understandings* in response to the question ‘What is Life?’ Or are we actually changing what constitutes life itself?

Are we, in fact, redesigning life?

Is the practice of design itself evolving in related terms?

Is design a key activity in guiding us into the future?

Or, is design redundant as we shift the gears from more mechanistic paradigms into what is called ‘emergence’, as the basis for evolutionary unfolding?

If we assume that this gear shift is simply an evolution of design, rather than its demise, what role might aesthetics play in our evolutionary unfolding?

How is this linked to ethics, and our ability to participate in the best possible futures?

The main aim of this group is to discuss these questions, but also to develop and refine these questions (and new ones) about the relationships between life, architecture, design, ethics and aesthetics in what promises to be an increasingly biotechnological future.

Our goal is to use this to make a documentary in which these questions play a role. In other words, this group is an important part of a design process.

between 10 and 50 years. Some of the buildings I did in Europe, I am quoting the client now, were meant “to stay forever”…

Our approach today seems slightly different.

First of all we suggest thinking about architecture in terms of systems rather than objects. Second a healthy system is not defined by the stability of use, rather it is defined by the stability of constant change. If we look at the behaviour of common building materials like bricks and concrete the ability to respond to adaption, change in density or volume is nearly impossible. Damages and disfunctions often led to complete destruction or removal. Today we transform material from one substance to another. The feedback of developing conditions has become far more Interview with She at the Biennale 2049 accurate that way.

She, you are an architect and scientist, how do The way we look at Architecture now resembles you experience the work you are doing for PALS how we conceive autotrophic organisms. and for Future_City_Prototyp? Is your role more as an architect or a scientist? Is it even possible In that sense the border between architecture and science has become even more blurred. to distinguish those two anymore?

Not long ago science and design were excluding Well indeed my work as an architect has changed each other, scientific presentations had to be a lot. In the beginning of my architectural career without design elements in order to be considered we used to do competitions about planning ‘serious’, and design that included science was buildings for very specific uses. Museums, considered as ‘dangerous’. That has changed Residential, Shopping, maybe the last two because science has stepped out of its limited seemed to grow together already, especially field of analyzing and explaining how the parts come logically together. Science has reached a Rem Koolhaas tried to push it that way.

Mostly the expected longevity of buildings was point where it can put them together.

About Me

fruit bowl generation

Architecture as a tectonic discipline has always been about “the composition of parts”,(G. Semper). Eventhough architecture employed science for its static and physical needs the ability to actually use science to create architecture that becomes a living organism has been a revolution.

And still all these possibilities have been around us a long time before. Autotrophic life has been occurring for billions of years (Thrombolites), the only difference we have today is that we are able to understand and make use of it.

Can you explain to us a little bit more what autotrophic life is about?

Autorophic life is a self-sustaining or selfnourishing organism. An autotroph is an organism that produces complex organic compounds from simple inorganic molecules using energy from light (by photosynthesis) or inorganic chemical reactions.

Autotrophs are fundamental to the food chains of all ecosystems. They take energy from the environment in the form of sunlight or inorganic chemicals and use it to create energyrich molecules such as carbohydrates. This mechanism is called primary production.

Interview of She Looks Members of Pals

I am a 47 year old BioMed Architect and member of the PALS (Plasticity and Autotrophic Life Society). At the moment we are developing the Future City Prototype, which is evolving close to Mandurah in Western Australia. Similar to Thrombolite organisms which live near our site, our city is dependent on water nutrition. The growth or the waning of the City represents a symbiotic relationship shared with the Thrombolites.

Being responsible for the health of a system makes me realize how important it is to work together with other people. A movement like PALS provides the structure to progress on various levels of society and to ensure longevity for our environment.

Other organisms, called heterotrophs(humans, animals), take in autotrophs as food to carry out functions necessary for their life.

Let me come back to Future_City_Prototyp. It has experienced a huge acceptance. What is your current involvement and how big are you expecting it to grow?

(Smiles) This question had to come but I’ll give you a hint. Right I would say she has probably the opposite character than me. And no I haven’t seen her for decades Would you like to interview her?…Haha Haha…

Thank You She for the interview

My work contains the coordination of growth in Future_City, including the management of the water nutrition as well as the life of the Thrombolites which are the indicators of health in our city.

Depending on our own ability to produce nutrition we expect to inhabit 5-7 million people in 2100.

Generating City Thoughts What if the future city employs these possibilities? What if the future city becomes bridgelike? Rather than being the center of an aggregated population of excluded and included, the City-Bridge could function not only as connector,

“Sea City”, Haus Rucker, Ortner & Ortner

passageway or transfer zone, it would be inhabited space, like a Ponte Vecchio with different climate zones. A bridge without its banks, a bridge which doesn’t connect or separate destinations. A bridge as a bridge not for what it does but what it is. A City-Bridge, not a city’s bridge…

How would you call yourself if I asked your profession?

Well, maybe a ProBioMedTopophericist Haha, got it.

One last question: How is your relationship to your sister You Looked?

She seems to have a different temper than you. Are you still in contact with her?

Earth some 350 to 650 million years ago. They grow at an average of 1mm a year. The Thrombolite structures reach heights of up to 1.3m.

Mangrove Trees Mangroves are halophytic (salt loving) trees, shrubs and other plants growing in brackish to saline tidal waters.Nutrients uptake Rotavirus_with_antibody Prop root systems allow mangroves to take up Thrombolites gases directly from the atmosphere, and various other Stromatolites and Thrombolites are created by nutrients, like iron, from the algae and represent the earliest record of life on earth.

Future City_Prototyp Future City Prototype, has its center of grwoth in the former area next to Lake Cliftionclose to Mandurah in Western Australia. Similar to Thrombolite organisms which live near the site, the city is dependent on water nutrition. The growth or the waning of the City represents a symbiotic relationship shared with the Thrombolites. The city takes nutrition from the water but produces also its own nutrion including the food for the inhabitants. Besides autotrophic abilties of the citystructure itself, agriculture will be based on aeroponic and hydroponic systems to ensure the wealthfare of the city. The expected population growth fom 2040 to 2100 will be between 5-7 million people.
