Deep Futures

The collective and individual work by the students will predominately focus around the concept of the city, and in particular the notion of city as a laboratory for the deep futures of human interaction, technological and ecological intelligence, spatial and formal play and experiment and discovery. The search is for new forms, types and assemblies of architecture more or less centered theory and research into the future of architecture with the space of cities. Students in this will initiate Deep Futures by investigating both contemporary and future potentials for new yet to be designed cities.
The intention, over time, is to individually and collectively within the studio to form the very underpinnings and scenarios for entirely new cities more for less designed from first principals. Some key concerns about the future of architecture and cities will be formed through the studio work itself, and these findings will be the impetus and rational behind the architectural projects students will choose and work on.
