Versatility and Vicissitude: Performance in Morpho-Ecological Design (Architectural Design)

Architectural Design (Volume 78, Issue 2)は、『Emergence』、『Techniques and Technologies in Morphogenetic Design』と続く、ゲスト編集者が参加した特集の第三作めの『Versatility and Vicissitude: An Introduction to Performance in Morpho-Ecological Design』（多様性と多義性： 形態生態学的デザインにおけるパフォーマンス入門）。この文脈では、形とは、物質的な物体の形だけでなく、物体が特定の環境と交換することによって生じる多数の効果、条件、変調、微小気候のマイルーム、つまり、主体が知覚し、相互作用するダイナミックな関係として再定義される。パフォーマンスとモルフォ・エコロジーのテクニックを相乗的に用いることで、持続可能性のための代替モデルを提示する統合的なデザイン・ソリューションを生み出す。

Architectural Design (Volume 78, Issue 2) is the third in a series of special features with guest editors, following “Emergence" and "Techniques and Technologies in Morphogenetic Design”, "Versatility and Vicissitude: An Introduction to Performance in Morpho-Ecological Design." In this context, form is redefined not only as the shape of a material object, but also as the multitude of effects, conditions, modulations, and microclimatic milieus that arise from an object's exchange with its particular environment, the dynamic relationships that subjects perceive and interact with.In this context, form is redefined not as the shape of a material object alone, but as the multitude of effects, a milieu of conditions, modulations and microclimates that emanate from an object's exchange with its specific environment, a dynamic relationship that is perceived and interacted with by a subject. A synergetic employment of performance and morpho-ecological techniques combine to create integral design solutions that will render an alternative model for sustainability.
