From the Mechanical to the Organic
It is in Florida that we find three related future city models; the Venus project with Jacques Fresco, the Epcot design by Walt Disney and
Celebration by the Walt Disney Company, a community based on the Epcot design.

SUPRA STUDIO // FALL 2011

Exploring New Architecture Prototypes for High Risk Coastal Regions in the USA

THE STUDIO JOINS THOM MAYNE’S “SUPRA STUDIO”
Culture Now investigates the contemporary American condition to shift perspectives in struggling U.S. cities.

“We (and by this I mean scientists first) are beginning to see that those organizations
once called metaphorically alive are truly alive, but animated by a life of a larger scope
and wider definition. I call this greater life "hyperlife." Hyperlife is a particular type of
vivisystem endowed with integrity, robustness, and cohesiveness -- a strong vivisystem
rather than a lax one. A rain forest and a periwinkle, an electronic network and a
servomechanism, SimCity and New York City, all possess degrees of hyperlife”
Kevin Kelly

THREE CITIES ARE EXAMINED:

For this year’s PPD studio we join the Supra Studio and study these three Coastal cities to investigate
how intelligent data collection and re-use of materials can create a more responsive/responsible environment.
Robotic collection systems, automated collection of trash and/or pollution [oil] as well as the recycling of
those materials are to be carefully examined for their potentials in designing [con]temporary and adaptable
units for sustainable coastal regions. These units will challenge conventional ideas of recycling and re-use
of materials within an architectural context and expand the research into new modes/models of design, which
form a deeper ecology between technology and nature, production and consumption, parts and material. In
order to achieve this, three design aspects will be particularly highlighted: Complex organizations, material
behavior, and component intelligence

LARP 701. Studio V Limotrophe Drylands:
Drylands Design Competition, Arizona
Ellen Neises

LIMITROPHE DRYLANDS
Drylands Design Competition is sponsored by the California Architectural Foundation and the Arid Lands Institute.
Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of how well they respond to scarcity and volatility of water supply, reduce
energy consumption, promote social equity, and project a new future for the West. Project type and site are open.
Jurors are Teddy Cruz, Shannon Nichol, Enrique Norten, Michael Rotondi, Greg Otto, Tom Anglewicz, Mary Griffin.

approach:

The studio will develop a territorial framework plan and physical designs for selected sites and prototype elements
that engage water bodies and infrastructure, and enrich the context conditioned by them.

MAPPING, MODELLING, FIELD WORK AND ANALYSIS
• map and model a rich data set, including geomorphology, depth to water table, soil salinity,
magnitude of flood events, inundation frequency, vegetation types
• interpret findings with guidance from experts
• explore sites with local guides and master the science of key processes
• interview people who can help identify the issues of the territory

TERRITORIAL FRAMEWORK PLAN, INTERVENTION SITES AND CONCEPT
• build a set of arguments that responds creatively to the context and
stakes out a compelling program
• create a coherent large‐scale framework plan

SCHEMATIC DESIGN AND BOARD DEVELOPMENT >> SUBMISSION 12 / 15
• develop physical design for selected sites, prototypical elements and processes
• refine clarity and immediacy of visualization on competition boards

LARP 760. Topics in Ecological Design:
Designated Ecologies
Ellen Neises

designed ecologies seminar
conceptual, artistic and technical dimensions of ecology as a source of invention in design

“Nature contains the history of the evolution of matter, life, and man. It is the arena of past, present, and future.
It exhibits the laws that obtain. It contains every quest that man can pursue. It tells every important story that
man would know. Therein lie its richness, mystery, and charm.” —Ian McHarg

topics:

CREATIVITY OF NATURAL PROCESS
evolved intelligence of organization; change agents at the organism, species and community levels
ECOLOGIES OF INVASION AND SUCCESSION
dynamics of community transformation; points of leverage on ecosystem trajectory amenable to design
ECOLOGY OF EQUILIBRIUM
theories of punctuated equilibrium, emergence, and tipping points as they bear on a philosophy of practice
ECOLOGY OF DESERTIFICATION
science of soft responses to aquifer depletion and loss of native systems
ECOLOGY OF INUNDATION
sea level rise and storm surge; reconceptualizing waterfront as episodic, biodiverse water interfaces, lenses, bodies
ECOLOGIES OF LARGE-SCALE, MULTI-SYSTEM TRANSFORMATION
economics, natural systems, technology, sociobiology, long time horizons and clever systemic catalysts
