Make, Collaborate: Architecture Beyond Digital makecollaborate/feed is the observation & research log of makecollaborate.net MK-CO/feed will regularly publish digital and print content – news, quotes, articles or images related to the emergence of "postdigitalism" in architecture. MK-CO/feed investigates complementary subjects such as collaborative economy, open-source design, sensoring, datafication of society, IoT, physical computing, digital fabrication, assimilation of digital cultures...

What does it means to design space for the digital natives ? 

How digital artefacts are currently shaping our culture, our thinking forms, and how this deep integration of digital culture will progressively start to play a considerable role in postdigital architecture design processes.

The well-connected environment : between offline and online there is many shades, and architects needs to embrace the non-visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum in the design of space.  That said, being offline is indeed a new kind of luxury in the postdigital age. #fullspectrum #postdigitalarchitecture

Postdigital architecture is about designing architecture in a new paradigm where digital technologies and digital culture became standard and ubiquitous. Where “digital” and “physical” are not segregated anymore.  In 2025, the first members of “generations z” born after 2000 will progressively enter in the active world. What’s does it means to design space and architecture for the digital natives ? They (and we, as members of 89plus generation) have different needs, domestic habits, social and spatial perception. Is architecture doomed to integrate like buttons in every architectonic elements ? Instagram filters in windows ? What’s like to “follow buildings” “swipe to open doors ?” Change wallpapers in rooms as on home screens ?  “Nul ne nie aujourd’hui l’esthétique qui se dégage des créations de l’industrie (moderne)”  Image from @cryptoarchitecture #amazonsanta #thenewaesthetic

“This invisible layer of electromagnetic signals is particularly dense in the populated and technology-driven environments constituting the postdigital cities. [...] Furthermore, it is also very important to realize that this invisible layer has a direct impact on the physiological reality of our bodies. The humans of the postdigital age are literally, as much metaphorically navigating in an information ocean of electromagnetic waves” –  Mathieu Bujnowskyj

When your house contains such a complex of piping, flues, ducts, wires, lights, inlets, outlets, ovens, sinks, refuse disposers, hi-fi reverberators, antennae, conduits, freezers, heaters – when it contains so many services that the hardware could stand up by itself without any assistance from the house, why have a house to hold it up?

An example of digital bricolage : the hacking of a domestic wifi router in order to transform the omnidirectional antennas into directional ones, with a specific angle of propagation. This in order to divide a room into a connected space and an “off-line” space.

“The architecture of the well-connected environment” is about the possibility to shape the spatial repartition of the electromagnetic layer in a similar way we mastered the thermal and environmental control of space. It is about designing new spatial poetics, domestic routines, appropriation patterns architectural typologies and architectonic elements taking into consideration the non-visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum #fullspectrum #postdigital #wifiscapes #techbrutalism #digitalbricolage

I move through space, my body gets coated by electronic waves. I do not recognize them physically but the connecting instrument that I am constantly bonded informs me about their appearance. Through apparatus my body, organs and environment are in close contact. The city, that I am in, is subdivided, carved, segregated and coated by electromagnetic oscillation. Dimension unit for public space is not meter, kilometre or decibel anymore, it's milliwatt, hertz and gigabyte. Stacked concrete, planted seeds, surfaces acupunctured by steel are certified on their conductance. Relations and streams are the juggernauts of my city

Hi there ! If you are interested in digital fabrication the MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms has an open courseware.

In the 1920′s, Le Corbusier developed his architecture on the roots of the Second industrial revolution – on the aesthetics of the machine, on new principles of industrial production that set the bases for Modern Architecture. We are living also the genesis of a new “third” industrial revolution, what should be the architectural answer to this paradigm shift ?

Neil Gershenfeld: "The Third Digital Revolution" - Solid 2014 Keynote

From the 2014 Solid Conference: Analog telephone calls degraded with distance; digitizing communications allowed errors to be detected and corrected, leading...

“Postdigital” implies a period going after, or in continuity of the digital revolution. But what is the digital revolution itself ?  Professor Neil Gershenfeld from the MIT center for Bits and Atoms presents the history of the digital revolution. Actually there is three phases in the digital revolution, first the digital conversion of communication, then the computing and finally the fabrication.
