Just before winning this year’s Pritzker Prize, the Japanese architecture firm SANAA (see 032c #13, 2007) unveiled a sensational enclosure for the École Polytechnique in Lausanne. more – ‘Our Future Could Live Here’

RAY KURZWEIL is an American scientist, health guru and futurologist. He is known for his invention of the flatbed scanner, for the 200 pills he eats every day to prolong his life, and above all for “The Singularity is Near,” a bold and controversial prediction of a not-too-distant future in which artificial intelligence will overtake the human brain in processing power, leading to a merging of man and machine, and an irreversible transformation of our being in the world. BJARKE INGELS is a precocious Danish architect. Six years ago, aged 30, he won the Golden Lion in Venice with his then partner Julien de Smedt. Shortly after, he opened his own office, BIG, in Copenhagen, and more recently in New York, and published his architectural manifesto “Yes is More” in comic book form. Ingels has since taught at Harvard and Columbia, and is currently working on buildings in Mexico, Azerbaijan and China, where BIG was responsible for the Danish Pavilion in Shanghai’s EXPO 2010. The building does justice to the mantra “Better city – better life” in the form of a giant bicycle loop, at the heart of which the little Mermaid of Copenhagen presides over a pool of water taken from the Danish capital’s harbor. Ingels founds his work on a utopian spirit not seen since the decades immediately following the last world war. Yet he is determined not to repeat the mistakes of his predecessors. One of the strategies of his “pragmatic utopian architecture” is not to rely on ideologies, but simply on the best available research. Frustrated with the timid and backward-facing spirit of contemporary architecture and urbanism, Ingels turns outside of his own field for hints of what the future – as it is being built today – might look like. Nobody offered a vision as simultaneously daring, methodical and researched as Ray Kurzweil. more – ‘Singularity is plural: The Optimism of BJARKE INGELS and RAY KURZWEIL’

"While the architectural field has changed more in the last 30 years than in the previous 3,000 - thanks to the rapid acceleration of globalization and the convulsions of the market economy - architectural education has mostly failed to keep pace. The Strelka Institute proposes a different way of looking at architecture: not only for the general improvement of design, but with the intention of introducing research as the most essential basis of architectural education." (From the program description of the Strelka Institute). This conversation traces the movements of this project from Rem Koolhaas's (b. 1944) own education at the Architectural Association in London in the late 1960s to his Office for Metropolitan Architecture OMA and its counterpart AMO, which developed Strelka as a non-profit, independent, experimental space for new ways of learning. more – ‘Consistent Modesty.
