The Emergent Technologies and Design Programme investigates new synergies of architecture and ecology through the critical intersection of computational design and fabrication. Our focus is on exploring the experiential and social potentials of new material and spatial configurations for architectural and ecological urban designs, situated in the dynamic contexts of emerging biomes. The programme is designed to stimulate critical thinking through research-driven design projects that are developed in an intellectually rigorous and creative studio environment. Our projects are developed by multiple iterations through hypothesis, material and computational experimentation, robotic fabrication and evaluation; reflected upon in verbal presentations and group discussions; and documented in analytical and scientifically structured papers.
