aneXfix - the rise of new industries

 by Will Harbison

Architecture of self-help communities - Michael Seelig - 1978

A very detailed book on building community architecture on a shoe string.

By Michael Seelig, printed byArchitectural record books, NewYork,1987

p.83 "The neighborhood cluster is organised arround a public square, which serves as ameeting place for the residents. It also contains such meeting facilities as water source and laundry area, the nursery school, nutrition center and sari-sari store"

p.52 "Lightweight building components would be purchased by the inhabitants and connected to the support structure...The isometric drawing shows how the construction would be phased. The heavy building components, such as...public services...would be installed by the government..."

p.69 "The spontanious house plans...illustrate the variety and richness that might result from providing people with a well defined piece of land, a covered walkway, and the opportunity to improve their housing conditions."

p.79 "The barangay thoroughfare is surrounded by higher density mixed use buildings"

Great demonstration of a limited system generating a rich and varied composition.

Throw-away culture

Our built environment is part of a throw-away culture.

"architects design just 2 percent of American homes"

"They call it their rallying cry: architects design just 2 percent of American homes, a figure that logs five mentions in the new advocacy treatise Expanding Architecture: Design as Activism (Metropolis Books). Its inverse, “Designing for the 98% Without Architects,” was the title of Design Corps’ 2000 conference and serves as a working motto for the nonprofit studio. The phrase has become a shibboleth in the profession, the conscientious architect’s “God and my right.” The trouble, of course, is that the statistic is pretty much wrong."

Stochastic Modular Assembly

"Stochastic (from the Greek "Στόχος" for "aim" or "guess") means random.

A stochastic process is one whose behavior is non-deterministic in that a system's subsequent state is determined both by the process's predictable actions and by a random element. Stochastic crafts are complex systems whose practitioners, even if experts, acknowledge that outcomes result from both known and unknown causes. Examples are warfare, meteorology, economics, and rhetoric, where success and failure are so difficult to predict that explicit allowances are made for uncertainty." - wikipedia.org

Cornell Computational Synthesis Lab experiment with "programmable matter, a substance that is able to change its physical properties as directed by the user. ... Objects can be assembled or repaired on-the-fly, and deconstructed to be recycled into new objects once they are no longer needed."
