transArchitectures
transArchitecture, architecture beyond architecture, is an architecture of heretofore invisible scaffolds. It has a twofold character: within cyberspace is exists as liquid architecture that is transmitted across the global information networks; within physical space it exists as an invisible electronic double superimposed on our material world.
The term transArchitectures (Marcos Novak) stems from a discussion between architects and designers. Influenced by their experience with computer technology during the design process they are developing new concepts of time, space, shape, structure, construction, etc. It is about simultaneously practising architecture and media, combining design and machine, and about the shift from "form and space" to "process and field". These concepts and designs have been discussed at length at two previous transArchitectures conferences held in Paris in 1996 and 1997. tA02/03 consisted of an exhibition of large prints and videos at the Nederlands Architectuurinstituut, part of the DEAF98 festival.
