Exigent engineering of a slowing evaporating architecture-Condensation around sponge-like objects in the atmosphere; are the seeds around which an architecture exigencies the engineering. As moisture collide with each other they grow in size until eventually the sponge-like objects are heavy enough to fall. Shaun Murray, London 2012 (photo by Yorgos Loizos)

designecologies: *CALL FOR PAPERS*Design Ecologies 3.1: chthonic delugeSubmission deadline: Thursday 28th February 2013 Peter Watts (author of Blindsight) will write the overview article!! Design Ecologies 3.1: chthonic deluge present a possible future, images of unprecedented catastrophe and collapse, of certainties and values distorted beyond repair or retrieval, and to craft them with the conviction of the seen; the unseen through the swirling devilish bombardment of objects in a sublime frenzy of forces in the whimpering, emotionally-exhausted wasteland of the twenty first century. Through the hysterical oscillations of implosion and explosion there will be a prophecy of planetary exhumation or ecological deluge.  We have the Canadian science fiction author Peter Watts writing the ideation article in response to the other four articles and case study selected for this issue of Design Ecologies.Regular updates at: http://designecologies.tumblr.com/We invite submissions of articles from any discipline to speculate on the formation of your projects/ buildings/ performances as a critical practice that activates our understanding of intuition, inventory and discovery in architecture. The four areas of interest include:1. Ecological design visions.2. Notational design 3. Instructional design visions.4. Aesthetical design visions We also welcome case studies and project profiles of 1–5 pages in lengthSubmissionsSubmissions are welcome from both scholars and practitioners.

Site Constraints and Mobile Horizons

City of London>Urban compression>Extended city>Materials in materials>Constructing within construction>


Imagine our colossal landfills in the UK as sensible resource sheds to build our future urban spaces, where eventually the future of architecture and design can make no distinction between waste and supply.
The global issue of ‘urban compression’ in the future of our cities has led us to investigate new interventions that operate through intuitionism and novel methodologies of practicing architectural design in our built environment. Cities are the absence of physical space between people and technology. They enable us to work and play together, and their success depends on the demand for physical connection.
Architectural propositions will propose an extended city reconstituted from its own ground materials. To remake the city by utilizing all the materials entombed in the ungrounding process of construction. To craft from the materials we have exhumed from the ground to construct different material combinations to serve different purposes in the design. What if architectural design was no longer legitimated through a promised structure or even a mere imagined one, but was instead to reach absolute continuity, in which construction constructed itself?
Students will design an Environmental Testing Centre for a brown field site in London.
