Architects is a design laboratory
studio : eiroa
(celtic: "from the ground"). e-Architects
is based in New York City's Silicon Alley (Flat Iron
District), and also located
in The Hamptons NY, and Buenos Aires.
e-Architects defines an
architecture and urbanism of information. e-Architects projects
range from the digital to the physical, from designing and
representing information systems to designing
space-environments. e-Architects projects range from architecture to design,
from urbanism to ecological systems,
from the landscape of the
city to the architecture of the landscape,
including experimentation with information systems that
define smart cities and innovation in digital fabrication.
e-Architects develops software, information "mapping" and
"visualizations", surveys, including machines to "draw" and
machines to "build", therefore displacing and
expanding the
systems and parameters that define architecture. These
issues are informed by cutting edge custom technology,
including Big Data Survey 3d scanning, API, multidimensional
parallel and correlational processing, blockchain
technologies, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Neural Networks,
Machine Learning, Big Data, algorithms, virutal robots,
simulations, mathematics, virtual environments,
"visualizations". Information actualizations become active
through phyiscal computation, robotics, robotic fabrication
and materials. e-Architects continuously expands these categories and
disciplinary boundaries in each project.
"Digital Fabrication" is thought as an informed
actualization developing unique project-specific robotics,
robotic fabrication machines, and materials.
e-Architect's design philosophy
is to
question the parameters that become referential in
an architecture of
information. By displacing spatial typologies through
topology, this studio develops innovative spatial
constructions that critique the structures that prescribe
a project. Likewise, this studio also displaces the media
and
information technology interfaces
that structure origination in a project through
representation. By these
means this studio relates deeper conceptual structures with
visual and experiential affection. These methods are also expanded into
the architecture of the landscape with
operations that work with natural
and artificial environments. The studio works with ecology
understanding architecture as space-environment,
whether real or virtual.
e-Architects' philosophy is to question
assumed cultural structures with conceptual designs
that focus on recognizing, and criticizing, stable spatial
organizations and media interfaces that structure
origination in a project. Through processes of recognition/critique/displacement, projects develop
relationships between
a conceptual approach, the latency involved in the
specificity of a place, and the media based
information technologies that displace the
subject's experience.
The studio's projects
aim to propose a new
structuralist avant-garde revisiting contemporary
poststructuralist theories. By these means these
projects intend to develop an advancement in the
critique of stable/homogenous
organizational structures, which
constitute the fundamentals
of modern thinking, and
also a critique of relative instability/differentiation that
such definitions of topology present.
Challenging
the point of departure of the
matrices and systems where architecture processes originate, enables
the studio's designs to develop a consistent but
flexible modus-operandi that resolves the
relationship between professional demands and the
recognition of the qualities of a place,
avoiding
stylistic determination with artistic quality. The strategies that have been
dominating architecture, such as modularity,
repetition, or homogeneity, are displaced with formal solutions that
challenge current avant-gardes but also recognize
previous historical attempts.
This delivers
unique spatial and formal solutions that recognize an autonomy
based on processes that
constitute form, and an innovative aesthetic
language that is striated
by media-based
information technology that
acknowledges the subject and his psycho-somatic
experience.
Through these strategies this
studio aims to develop a
critical body of work in relation to the
contemporary state of expansion
of architecture, and the
role of media-interfaces that have been prescribing recent
avant-gardes.
