Ballardian Architecture | Nic Clear

An inspiring lecture by Greenwich and Bartlett teacher Nic Clear

machines and information science

Functional elements are the most beautiful ornaments.

A facade clad with tubes, ladders, wire, reinforcements, chimneys, platforms, rails, antennas so dense that you don't know if it is a facade or if it just a continuos complexity, is a thrilling one. The most fantastic thing about such a design (looking at an old steel plant) is that it is not designed. It is just a pragmatic response to a need, optimized for a certain condition.
When these functions can take advantage of one another and be strengthened form their co-relation, the architecture can be regarded as a system, rather that a building.
Information science is a more beautiful word for system analysis and is a cross disciplinary set of science branches reaching from computer science to social science. The way in which we use the same tools to analyze architecture, computers and social life triggers new possibilities in approaching a conceptual "design"-phase

Architecture should dare to be more naked. I would even dare to encourage exaggerating programmatic functions. Making the system evident and intriguing.

I'm not saying this project (below) is based on information science but it's quite a beautiful project and a successful restoration of a steel plant. Treating the remains humbly and respectfully embedding it in new subordinate structures.

AA | Project Reviews 2012

I just learned that it is possible to view projects produced during the past academic year(s) at Architectural Association, on their website.
My dear friend Magnus recommended me to look at this site to get a glance of his project produced at Inter 3. Good stuff, Magnus!

Lund Architecture Symposium

I have just started a new blog called LAS*12

I'm currently employed by the School of Architecture in Lund to manage a two day symposium together with the Director of the School, Christer Malmström.

Make sure to book September 14&15 and stay on top of things with LAS*12
More info to come...
