BEAUTY AS ECOLOGICAL INTELLIGENCE: BIO-DIGITAL AESTHETICS AS A VALUE SYSTEM OF POST-ANTHROPOCENE ARCHITECTURE

摘要

It is timely in the Anthropocene, more than ever before, to search for a non-anthropocentric mode of reasoning, and consequently also of designing. The new Photosynthetica Consortium, established in 2018 and including London-based ecoLogicStudio, the Urban Morphogenesis Lab (Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UCL)) and the Synthetic Landscape Lab (University of Innsbruck, Austria), has therefore been pursuing architecture as a research-based practice, exploring the interdependence of digital and biological intelligence in design by working directly with non-human living organisms.
