resolution architecture by iterative data translation a series of predictive algorithms, aiming to support a new agricultural urbanism according to changing climatic conditions in a derelict agricultural area of america's south-west. In order to form this artificially induced landscape, relevant climatic data is translated into high resolution architecture through a series of processes that guide the functionality of the structure on increasingly smaller scales.

through simulating a wide range of plants' behavior in terms of their response to changing temeperatures and shifting precipitation patterns, crops behavior in new semi-controlled enviroments was established. this data was then used in the design of a biological landscape, able to create a series of microclimates, optimized towards crop growth and biodiversity standards.

natural terrain and artificial layers of the city are superimposed and translated into directional data in order to provide a framework that guides the masterplan's boundaries. the new development would house a series of lowtech biodiversity zones as well as hightech hydroponic

the organic mycelium-based intervention inhabiting the threshhold between civic and agricultural areas is generated through a vector_driven reaction diffusion algorithm. the directional data used to guide the methodology is information regarding natural waterflow of the area,local  crop distribution and desired human routes.

the geometry is further optimized for a production by additive 3d printing. the projection aims to build on current research in mycelium printing and uses a series of structural analysis and adjustment processes in order to make each geometry viable for printing.

the additional water-circulation infrastructure needed for the agricultural programme is planned to be as efficient as possible through the programming of an evolutionary optimization tool: ​ vertical optimization_ the 4-loop desalination system continuously redistributes water. the system's energy demand is reduced significantly if the system is gravity driven. the vertical relationship of the technological programmes is optimized accordingly with a series of evolutionary algorithms. the output is a key driver for the nodal points sectional development. ​ horizontal optimzation_ the sectionally optimized programme is further developed in terms of its horizontal adjacencies and their connection to key parts of the site. this two dimensionally optimized composition is used as the logical backbone of the architectural manifestation.

the intervention ultimately becomes a driver for a new urbanity in which funghi, bacteria, humans and swarm machines of intelligence become “bio-citizens” contributing to a new urban morphogenesis. The project resembles a new ecological sensibility and calls for a new understanding of the role of humanity which – supported by artificial and biological helpers – has to reconsider its relationship with nature in order to accomplish the challenges of the future.
