INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE DESIGN CONFERENCE

SECOND NATURE
Our shifting perception of nature is rapidly changing the way we interact in urban settings, signaling the emergence of a unique new ecology which sees human rituals being drastically restructured by man-made interventions and an onslaught of cultural products. This year’s theme, ‘Second Nature’, aims to look at how design is reestablishing its critical role as a mediator between the technological world and our natural environment. Within this hybridized space, authenticity is readily achievable by way of simulacra, disassembling any hardboiled ideas of what may be deemed artificial and what may be not. Architecture, meanwhile, emerges as a representative of this marriage between the space of real and the unreal, resulting in urban landscapes which thrive, not on mechanical repetition but a mechanical
organic, giving rise to a place beyond biomimicry, namely, a new or Second Nature.

LOOK WHO’S TALKING: ARCHITECTURE IN THE GLOBAL-COMMUNICATION ERA
by Alexander Horne

If architecture is the accumulation of centuries of knowledge, then what of its existence in an era of perpetual and instantaneous updates that the Internet and social networking brings? For a technology-driven industry, it seems slow to embrace the possibilities of continuous information exchange. A number of young studios appear to have some answers, which in the process of challenging dusty perceptions are ‘Twittering’ and marketing their names to the forefront of architecture today ahead of the starchitects of yesterday.
