Versatility and Vicissitude: Performance in Morpho-Ecological Design
Guest-edited by Michael Hensel and Achim Menges
This third AD by the guest-editors of the highly successful Emergence and Techniques and Technologies in
Morphogenetic Design titles shifts the morpho-ecological design project into the realm of performance.
Whereas the dictionary definition of performance – to ‘carry out an action’ or ‘to fulfil a task’ – invokes a
tired utilitarian debate, Hensel and Menges inject the meaning of the word ‘performance’ with an entire-
ly new life. In this context, form is redefined not as the shape of a material object alone, but as the mul-
titude of effects, a milieu of conditions, modulations and microclimates that emanate from an object’s
exchange with its specific environment; a dynamic relationship that is perceived and interacted with by
a subject. A synergetic employment of performance and morpho-ecological techniques combine to create
integral design solutions that will render an alternative model for sustainability. This issue presents his-
torical precursors and precedents for this approach, as well as the current state of the art of morpho-eco-
logical design. Key contributors include: Klaus Bollinger and Manfred Grohmann of Bollinger &
Grohmann, Aleksandra Jaeschke, OCEAN NORTH, Professor Remo Pedreschi, Defne Sunguroglu, Peter
Trummer and Michael Weinstock.

Interior Atmospheres
Guest-edited by Julieanna Preston
What does one mean when describing a room as atmospheric? Does it allude to a space that has been
designed, stylised or even thematised? Is it a spatial quality conditioned by one’s perception? Does
atmosphere originate from material attributes inherent to interior finishes and décor? Is it simply the
dramatic effect resulting from skilful use of lighting and colour? Is atmosphere an immersive ambience?
How is atmosphere crafted? Does it have a critical edge, literally and theoretically?
Visually exciting and provocative, Interior Atmospheres combines contemporary projects and inter-
views alongside analytical essays. Authors such as Rachel Carley, Ted Krueger, Malte Wagenfeld and
Hélène Frichot explore the distinctions between visible and invisible realms within architectural design.
The technological interface between design and atmosphere is tested through digital and creative mate-
rial works by Petra Blaisse, Kevin Klinger, Gregory Luhan, Andrew Kudless, Walter Niedermayr, Kazuo
Sejima and Ryue Nizhisawa, LaMonte Young and Marian Zazeela, Joel Sanders and Karen Van Legnen,
Scott Gowans and Steve Wright and Lewis Tsurumaki Lewis Architects. Paul James, Mary Anne Beecher
and Lois Weinthal probe the physical limits of atmosphere in regard to site, 'the outside' and interiority.
Contributors and projects straddle the boundaries of design, art and architecture in order to gain a fuller
understanding of atmosphere’s elusive and pervasive presence.

Proto Architecture: Analogue and Digital Hybrids
Guest-edited by Bob Sheil
The illusive and uncertain world of translating ideas into matter is a negotiation between the ideal and
the real and a central preoccupation of architectural production. By invading the toolbox of digital fabri-
cation, design has transgressed into protocols of manufacturing previously the domain of other disci-
plines and skills sets. Craft, assembly and installation, once the realm of trades, are qualities that are
now dependent upon design information and its status as an instruction to make. The ensuing loop
between the physical and tactile, the imaginary and speculative, has defined a new expectation in mak-
ing architecture as a construct that is part real, part ideal.
With contributions from Lebbeus Woods, Evan Douglis, Theo Jansen, Shin Egashira and many more,
Proto-Architecture presents an explicitly diverse collection of works from leading and emerging practition-
ers, educators, researchers and visionaries from all corners of the innovative field.
