From Architecture to Networks. On Technological Infrastructures. A Critical Position.
The Master of Science in Advanced, Architectural Design constitutes a unique and critically evocative context to expand the critical discussion into triggering the fourth industrial- and pos-digital-revolution with architecture and design. Under the umbrella of research and innovation, building spectrum is affected by the deployment of new essential infrastructure. Therefore, logistics advance a new language between science, economy, engineering, and architecture. The revolution in communication and information-sharing unveils a meaningful relationship with the advances in distribution chains -at all orders- and the possibilities of automated storage spaces. Traditional logistics and warehouse network are reframing its own building agency to shape new methodologies in labor, technology, and design.However, there is an opportunity for a broad compromise with society in leading new practices, rephrasing the individual and collective meanings in our built environment. The echoes of our technological development are picturing opportunities to unframe the tensions and agreements between institutions, organizations and public voices. The architect enters a field of discovery and network-finding, where the commitment is to entangle the negotiations and intersections between bodies of work, keeping the technological footprint as a constant think-changer.
