Research Seminar: Artificial Life – Rachel Armstrong

  • Greenwich Maritime
  • Queen Mary QM368
  • April 15th / April 22nd 2011; 10.30

Week 30: The manifesto is ‘against’ the machine, proposing ‘life’ as an alternative temporal spatial strategy that examines the paradigms and role of technology as an architectural approach.

Week 31: The manifesto is ‘against’ nature, proposing ‘technology’ as an alternative – and symbiotic ecology – through which human centred outcomes are designed and cultivated, rather than ‘controlled’.

Dr. Rachel Armstrong is an interdisciplinary practitioner with a background in medicine. She collaborates with artists and architects to create a new experimental space to explore scientific concepts and re-engage with the fundamental creativity of science.

She is a senior TED (Technology Entertainment Design) Fellow and senior lecturer at the School of Architecture and Construction
