This project exploited contemporary methods of measuring and analyzing 3D form and space in conjunction with human and computational forms of design production to identify how this transforms our understanding of the relationship between context and architecture. The technology behind data collection allows for the production of overwhelming quantities of information which need to be interpreted and structured.
The focus is on the aesthetic dimension of architecture and the possible production of new modes of being in the world. If the shift in modes of reproduction accompanies transformations in the architecture invention, a contemporary approach to architecture would be affiliated to modes of imaging that dislocate the subjectivity of single point perspective, such as machine vision.
This work is based on the use of the sampled data in the production of architectural form. The vehicle for exploring resolution, and how these differences may produce multiple authenticies.
This Library that is set in Duarte’s Encanto Park was produced through a series of photogrammetry and laser scanning techniques, where new perceptions of common artifacts were remodeled and composited at a different scale.
