METEORA IS THE DESIGN STUDIO OF THE CHAIR OF DIGITAL ARCHITECTONICS [HOVESTADt] AT THE DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE OF ETH ZÜRICH. Meteora is never the same, she evolves, grows and changes constantly. She is a mirror of the state of work we do in our studio, and an infinite sum of its sediments. EXPLORE THE PLETHORA OF ITs CHARACTERS, DREAMS, AND VISIONS BELOW.

METEORA will use artificial intelligence
to write a text to explicate a precise position in today's world,
to create a spectrum of images to reflect this world
and design an architectural artifact that brings things into adequate proportions

This studio works on the idea that a substantial understanding of TODAY’S TECHNOLOGY (INTERNET OF THINGS, BIG DATA, MACHINE INTELLIGENCE ...) changes the perspective of ARCHITECTURAL THEORY and will result in different ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS and building constructions.

GOALS

1) IDENTIFICATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CHALLENGES OF TODAY’S TECHNOLOGIES;
2) TECHNIQUES OF WORKING WITHIN THE PLENTY OF THE INTERNET;
3) A METHODOLOGY TO DESIGN DIGITAL ARCHITECTURES;
4) UNDERSTANDING OF THE SHIFT FROM HARD BUILDING CONSTRUCTION TO SOFT BUILDING APPLICATIONS, AND
5) AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPORTANCE OF BECOMING A LITERATE DIGITAL PERSONA IN ORDER TO BE AN ARCHITECT TODAY.
