  1. INFRASTRUCTURE

  2. Today ever-expanding thresholds of speed, efficiency and communication are changing our definitions of space in completely unpredictable ways, and by extension challenging our understanding of architecture within the reconfigured global environment. Traditional concerns with permanence, typology and function no longer suffice as the limits according to which we design, theorize and build architecture today. INFRASTRUCTURE

  3. INFRASTRUCTURE Herzog De Meuron‘Parking Garage,’ 2011

  4. Infrastructural Urbanism 001 Flexibility/Anticipatory: By specifying what must be fixed and what is subject to change, they can be precise and indeterminate at the same time. They work through management and cultivation, responding quickly to adjust to shifting conditions. INFRASTRUCTURE

  5. Infrastructural Urbanism 002 Multiple Authorship: Infrastructure provides direction to future work in the city not by the establishment of rules or codes (ie. Top-down), but rather by fixing points of service, access and structure (ie. Bottom-up). In doing so, this creates a directed field where different ‘authors’ can contribute all the while setting both technical and instrumental limits to their work. INFRASTRUCTURE

  6. Infrastructural Urbanism 003 Responsive: In the design of highways, bridges, canals, or aqueducts an extensive catalog of strategies exist to respond to irregularities in the landscape (ie. doglegs, viaducts, cloverleafs, switchbacks, etc.) which are creatively employed to accommodate existing conditions while maintaining functional continuity. INFRASTRUCTURE “Infrastructures default condition is regularity” - ZahaHadid -

  7. Infrastructural Urbanism 004 Flow and Exchange: Although physically static in and of itself, ‘Infrastructure’ engender phenomenological notions such as ephemerality, movement, non-monumentality, flux, etc., which stand in contrast to societies preoccupation with ‘permanence’ and monumentality INFRASTRUCTURE “Infrastructural Architecture… where meaning is contextualized by the end user” - Rem Koolhaus -

  8. Infrastructural Urbanism 005 Contraction/Expansion: Infrastructures allow for the detailed design of typical elements or repetitive structures, facilitating an architectural approach to urbanism. Instead of moving always down in scale from the general to the specific, infrastructural design begins with the precise delineation of specific architectural elements within specific limits, facilitating both contraction and expansion. INFRASTRUCTURE

  9. NOMADISM “Today, to a greater degree than ever before in the developed and developing parts of the world, dwelling environments will require greater architectural attention and consideration as their conception may have quite the opposite characteristics to those of sedentary culture. Increasingly dwelling environments will be premised upon being temporary, portable and collaboratively produced.” -Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari- INFRASTRUCTURE
