::CENTRE FOR CONTEMPORARY ART AND ARCHITECTURE::

This project probes a rather discordant trajectory in new urbanism, examining the concepts, tools and technologies that provide responsive and generative aspects of information in the design process. By establishing a complex integration of systems into a clear and precise set of constraints, the performative aspects in our systems of inquiry can be further analyzed and redeployed as operative design strategies beyond the transitory idealisms of mixed-use development.
