Systemic Architecture
This is a manual investigating the subject of urban ecology and systemic development from the perspective of architectural design. It sets out to explore two main goals: to discuss the contemporary relevance of a systemic practice to architectural design, and to share a toolbox of informational design protocols developed to describe the city as a territory of self-organization. Collecting together nearly a decade of design experiments by the authors and their practice, ecoLogicStudio, the book discusses key disciplinary definitions such as ecologic urbanism, algorithmic architecture, bottom-up or tactical design, behavioural space and the boundary of the natural and the artificial realms within the city and architecture. A new kind of "real-time world-city" is illustrated in the form of an operational design manual for the assemblage of proto-architectures, the incubation of proto-gardens and the coding of proto-interfaces. These prototypes of machinic architecture materialize as synthetic hybrids embedded with biological life (proto-gardens), computational power, behavioural responsiveness (cyber-gardens), spatial articulation (coMachines and fibrous structures), remote sensing (FUNclouds), and communication capabilities (Ecological Footprint Grotto). Supporting the authors’ own essays and projects are contributions from key innovators in contemporary architecture and urban design: Michael Batty, Andrew Hudson-Smith, Michael Weinstock and Patrik Schumacher.
Synomics
At its core, Synomics represents a paradigm shift in how knowledge, systems, and disciplines are synthesized into a unified, recursive framework. By establishing a universal language for knowledge integration, Synomics enables seamless connectivity between diverse theoretical and practical domains, offering a self-regulating system that harmonizes complex structures across multiple disciplines. Rooted in the Greek etymology of "Syn-" (σύν, meaning "together, with, unified") and "-nomics" (νόμος, meaning "law, system"), Synomics defines a recursive, self-optimizing intelligence framework** that unites synthesis, axiomatic knowledge, atomic integration, quantum correspondence, linguistic singularity, and systemic harmonization. Unlike traditional synthesis models, which often lack recursive adaptability, Synomics establishes a hierarchical, evolving structure that integrates systems at all levels—from subatomic interactions to global networks. Since language is the only absolute truth, Synomics serves as the governing system for structured knowledge, reconciling diverse disciplines through recursive, hierarchical correspondence. By applying self-regulating intelligence to system harmonization, Synomics ensures that knowledge frameworks remain dynamic, coherent, and scalable, facilitating seamless interdisciplinary integration across all fields of study. This framework provides a revolutionary approach to structuring knowledge, allowing disparate elements to function as a harmonized whole in both theoretical and applied sciences.
The Systemic Image
A new conceptualization of the relationship between the systemic and the iconic in real-time simulations that distinguishes among four levels of forming. Computer simulations conceive objects and situations dynamically, in their changes and progressions. In The Systemic Image, Inge Hinterwaldner considers not only the technical components of dynamic computer simulations but also the sensory aspects of the realization. Examining the optic, the acoustic, the tactile, and the sensorimotor impressions that interactive real-time simulations provide, she finds that iconicity plays a dominant yet unexpected role. Based on this, and close readings of a series of example works, Hinterwaldner offers a new conceptualization of the relationship between systemic configuration and the iconic aspects in these calculated complexes. Hinterwaldner discusses specifications of sensorialization, necessary to make the simulation dynamic perceivable. Interweaving iconicity with simulation, she explores the expressive possibilities that can be achieved under the condition of continuously calculated explicit changes. She distinguishes among four levels of forming: the systems perspective, as a process and schema that establishes the most general framework of simulations; the mathematical model, which marks off the boundaries of the simulation's actualization; the iconization and its orientation toward the user; and interaction design, necessary for the full unfolding of the simulation. The user makes manifest what is initially latent. Viewing the simulation as an interface, Hinterwaldner argues that not only does the sensorially designed aspect of the simulation seduce the user but the user also makes an impact on the simulation—on the dynamic and perhaps on the iconization, although not on the perspectivation. The influence is reciprocal.
