Emerging paradigms in architecture reflect the shift in science from determinism to the complexity model and a new understanding of the universe as a self-organising system that moves, most often in a non-linear way, to different levels of equilibrium. This conference considers how architecture should best respond to this departure from the mechanistic world view on which both classicism and modernism were based.
Greg Lynn on the rhythmic differentiation of surface continuity.
Alejandro Zaera-Polo on architecture as the organisation of matter.
Mohsen Mostafavi on the dis-junction between object and thought.
