CITC VI, back at DIA : NOO-TOPIA ‘Noo-Topia’ is an architecture of highly intricate systemic topology derived from rational knowledge, information and data. ‘Noo-Topia’ is an architecture born out of big data, computation, a global autonomous design apparatus and the existence of a strong architectural debate in the 20th century. - ‘In the same ways that hypertext removes the limitations of the printed page, the post-information age will remove the limitations of geography.’, Nicholas Negroponte - The flesh of architecture in C21 is driven by a desire towards the optimal and grotesque at the same time. The ultimate beautiful and performative, the unforeseen and magical; finding its foundations in the mathematical forms and abstract manifestations developed by biologists, physicists and mathematicians. The field of architecture now is an alloy of programming, data mining, digital tooling, art and science. The question of how to embed this development on a local, regional and global scale within the discipline of architecture, within its genealogy and evolution still remains open and is part of a global contemporary discourse. It is an evolution from clear boundaries towards blurry semiospheres of post-human, post digital and almost non-disciplinary topologies in form of a cybernetic causal development beyond the evolution in (software) technology, human-machine interface, advanced material sciences, .... - within the subject we will take on the UN Habitat Mass Housing Competition.
