Interactive Architecture was setup by myself {Ruairi Glynn} with the intention of collecting ideas from a wide range of fields on the future of how we will design or built environment. In particular it focuses on smart materials and digitally responsive technologies from nano to urban scales. I currently split my practice between production of public art installations and teaching. I am a diploma thesis tutor at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London and a design tutor at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, University of Arts London on the MA Textile Futures and MA Industrial Design programmes. I also have lectured, run workshops and been a visiting critic to architecture and interaction design schools including the Delft faculty of Architecture {Netherlands}, the Institute of Digital Art and Technology {UK}, the Interactive Institute {Sweden}, the Angewandte Vienna {Austria}, and the Architectural Association {UK}. To get a quick 10 minute introduction to some of the ideas about Interactive Architecture that drive my own design practice, please watch the video below of a 10 minute talk I made in {November 2007} at the Kunsthaus Graz. Or read the Interview further below between HMC MediaLab & Myself {November 2005}
