This exhibition assembles recent urban research and speculative design work by the research-based architectural practice RVTR. It undertakes a study of the Great Lakes Megaregion through geographic, statistical, and cartographic analysis and proposes a rethinking of infrastructural systems in light of new mobility, renewable energy, and urban growth. Set within this context of transformation, the exhibition projects possible urban and architectural futures that envision new public domains.
This exhibition curated by Greg Lynn, marks the second phase of the research project by the Canadian Centre for Architecture initiated with the 2013 exhibition Archaeology for the Digital. Featuring work by Asymptote, Karl Chu, Bernard Cache, dECOi Architects, ONL, and NOX, the exhibition continues to examine architecture’s engagement with digital technologies from the 1990s to the early 2000s. The six projects presented range from the design of buildings to the design of interactive media, interactive robotic mechanisms, drafting machines based on the Catastrophe theory, generative algorithms, and the writing of disciplinary and cultural theories
