Contrasted to a city well known for its public spaces, the Parisian Suburbs are notorious for their ubiquitous social housing projects, clustered around and dotted along transportation circuits, without much else to offer. Lacking multi-layered hierarchies of space between that of the individual dwelling units and the city, the open spaces that surround the suburbs are often under-used stretches of land. The paper catalogues the five elements that form the built environment of the suburbs: towers, grounds, terrainsvagues, facades, and graffiti. It then focuses on the notion of ground, by suggesting hypothetical projects to be installed in specific sites in three adjacent suburbs in the North and Northeast of Paris. The paper presents a hybrid model of research and design that aims at creating better public spaces in those areas through careful, phased operations.","PeriodicalId":122603,"journal":{"name":"Brooklyn Says, \"Move to Detroit\"","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124884535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But with the increasing availability of inexpensive hardware, and prolific networked software, the number of houses who actively communicate online in one way or another is sure to grow. An examination of some tweeting house types from within the context of architecture history and theory reveals some models for how this social architecture might develop.This paper shows that tweeting houses raise concerns that are solidly within the set of questions traditionally addressed by architecture. The tweeting house’s existence depends on acts of translation between different media, some managed by a designer, some automated. The tweeting house actively presents social and tectonic affordances that offer opportunities for engagement, functional and otherwise. And finally, tweeting houses raise issues about the public, external representation of a set of private, internal conditions, some of them personal to the house’s occupants, some of them intended for broader reading. This paper will use examples from the history of architecture, adjacent design disciplines, computer science, science fiction, and hybrid example projects that partake of all of these fields, to show that while the house with a social media account is a unique and new techno-architectural possibility, it is not without history or precedent.","PeriodicalId":122603,"journal":{"name":"Brooklyn Says, \"Move to Detroit\"","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130682387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is to our benefit to reconcile the performance-appearance debate and to provide an unambiguous definition of the related notions. And natural organism and system is a great model to follow. Biomimicry is the study of emulating and mimicking nature, where it has been used by designers to help in solving human problems1Biomimicry as an emerging field since late 1980s has been looking at advanced technologies derived from bio-inspired engineering at the different levels; however,the research of biomimicry application in the structure design field is lagging behind other design related fields, such as product design and material design. The paper is to provide a framework to answer the question: How do we make biomimicry concepts practical in the context of structural design and from what key perspectives? And to address how performance and appearance could be blended into one and measured and verified as a whole. This paper will address two important factors influencing structure performance: form-pattern making and the properties of materials. Numerous case studies will be used to demonstrate a variety of strategies corresponding to different levels of performance-driven structure design based on bioengineering. This paper aims to integrate material science and biology study into the research of architectural structure design.","PeriodicalId":122603,"journal":{"name":"Brooklyn Says, \"Move to Detroit\"","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122132751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However if one was to examine many of the artworks created during this time, several artists were working with similar ideas, concepts, and technologies on artificial intelligence. This paper is a media archaeology of responsive environments in contemporary practice.It endeavors to discover the historical and theoretical genealogy of affective, experiential, collaborative work of emerging, contemporary, transdisciplinary groups such as UNITED VISUAL ARTISTS. It does so by revisiting some of the projects by the 1966 artist collaborative, PULSA: People Using Light and SoundArtistically. Both the historical and contemporary examples presented here serve as examples in which the discipline of architecture can expand and take on multi-disciplinary collaborations, and the experience of architecture can transform into one which more fully engages the human senses.","PeriodicalId":122603,"journal":{"name":"Brooklyn Says, \"Move to Detroit\"","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121658358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
