In short, we conceive algorithmically (morphogenesis) we model numerically(rapid prototyping) we build robotically (new tectonics) we inhabitinteractively (intelligent space) we telecommunicate instantly (pantopicon) we are informed immersively (liquid architectures) we socialise nonlocally(nonlocal public domain) we evert virtuality (transarchitectures). In the mid90s, his contribution to international architectural discourse was furtherexpanded by the coining and definition of the term "Transarchitectures". It was also illustrated by Novak's attempts to createan algorithmically composed design which resulted in a family ofarchitectures conditioned by one genotype generating programme. He wrote "cyberspace is architecture cyberspace has an architecture andcyberspace contains architecture." The new liquidity of the virtual isdefined in this essay. For Michael Benedikt's "Cyberspace: First Steps"he wrote the influential chapter "Liquid Architectures in Cyberspace". His seminal work has included many virtual architectures and essays that arecrucial to those architects who are interested in the swiftly blossomingarchitectural cybertheory. Marcos Novak is a transarchitect, artist and theorist. He has published, lectured and exhibited his work internationally.Occupation = Artist, transarchitect, theorist Since that time he has taught at Ohio State, University of Texas Austin, the Architecture program at UCLA, the Digital Media program at UCLA, and the Art Center College of Design, in Pasadena. He received the Masters of Architecture at Ohio State university in 1983. As well as articulating highly fluent theory, he has also practiced as an architect, producing beautiful ethereal structures that flux and shimmer as his algorithms run their designed logics. He has also posited a new “Soft Babylon,” a theoretical stance which posits that our digitised architectural palette is causing us to create a wired situationist city, while we struggle with some of the massive paradigm shifts that our era will and must face. “We conceive algorithmically (morphogenesis) we model numerically (rapid prototyping) we build robotically (new tectonics) we inhabit interactively (intelligent space) we telecommunicate instantly (pantopicon) we are informed immersively (liquid architectures) we socialise nonlocally (nonlocal public domain) we evert virtuality (transarchitectures)”. In the mid 90s, his contribution to Inteational architectural discourse was further expanded by the coining and definition of the term “Transarchitectures”: He is a pioneer in the field of virtual architecture. Marcos Novak is Professor in Media and Virtual Architecture at UCSB, Director of transLAB, and the Vice Chair at the Media Arts and Technology Graduate Program.
#Marcos novak architecture series
From architecture and music to morphogenesis and cosmogenesis, a series of installations propose an avant-garde and research sensibility with a global-to-local, diachronic-to-synchronic vector of attention. Transvergence establishes the superset to transarchitectures and explores transformation and speciation across the transmodal continuum of technologies and humanities, engineering and mathematics, arts and sciences. He is interested in morphogenetic processes in architecture, in interaction and media technology and blurring the boundaries between material and virtual space. The talk will explore the intersection of technologies with art and architecture. Marcos Novak, Professor in Media and Virtual Architecture at University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB), is giving a talk at Edinburgh College of Art (ECA).
