Ab Intra

Here’s the poster for the upcoming conference the team (well, really Esquivel) has been working to put together. It’s a collection of practicing architects who are working toward the New aesthetic. These include Tom Wiscombe (Emergent), Paul Preissner (Qui’Virarch), and Jason Payne (Hirsuta).

One can sum up their work in the notion of emergence, as in systems of logic as definers for which outcomes can be variable while still being controlled and fully realized (whether real or virtual). The defining term for the conference, that being ab intra, is the denial of architecture from any other interpretation. This opens a discussion into the current discourse of our work, not in terms of globalization, technology, mathematics, etc, but perhaps understood as the culmination of agendas, a monster to be tamed when revealed upon itself.

If you want to know more, go straight to the source.

It should be good if your into real work and the bleeding edge of everything.
