Contemporary Techniques in Architecture

Contemporary design  techniques provide new transformative effects in cultural, social and political production. Such a technique acts on or influences an objects, which in turn modifies human behaviors and technical performance.
Our work seeks to harness the potential of contemporary techniques to produce new architectural effects.
Technology is not efficiency-oriented practice measured by quantities but a qualitative set of relations that interact with cultural stimuli.
Contemporary techniques enable us to access the potentials for maximizing new effects and separate  lineages.
Transmission across lineage is, perhaps, the major source of cultural change.
Contemporary techniques are organized and guided by probabilities, which are unlimited and allow for the production of performative effects in architecture.
Our intention in architectural projects is to actualise virtualities contained within the matrices of the Software that fully exploit its potential to produce new effects, which modify behaviors and performance.
Spaces are arranged by a more detailed set of performative possibilities. One location may provide for clustering and accumulative behavior, while another allows for ease of dispersion and continuity of space.
Spaces are modulated by the transformation of surface specificity which allows for various functions: sitting, eating, sleeping, bathing.
At the molecular level, continuous variation is possible within composite materials, densities or porosities provide a range of gradient effects.
The structure develops through the process simultaneously with its material counterpart, and affiliates itself with varying levels of porosity.
