Concepts in Architecture Congress presentation
George Katodrytis made a presentation during the Concepts in Architecture Congress, in Tehran, Iran, on November 24, 2006.
The new field of emerging Synthetic Urbanism is at the intersection of architecture, landscape and urbanism. This condition will be described in its multiplicity and ability to deal with programmatic mixing, relate to global interchanges, accommodate formal complexities and employ advanced digital and evolutionary processes.
•Programmatic Mixing: Complex interactive events unfolding in time and involve movement, connectivity and exchange.
•Global Interchange: Patches and corridors that form larger networks of nodes and paths that allow communication, interaction and adaptation.
•Formal Complexity: A radically horizontal, field-like urbanism, with infinite geometric patterns as spatial concepts. These topographies that are folded, warped, bent or striated.
•Digital and Evolutionary Process: A loosely structured frameworks that grows in and changes over time. These are immersive environments, diagrams subject to only partial control.
