How digital artefacts are currently shaping our culture, our thinking forms, and how this deep integration of digital culture will progressively start to play a considerable role in postdigital architecture design processes. 

“This invisible layer of electromagnetic signals is particularly dense in the populated and technology-driven environments constituting the postdigital cities. [...] Furthermore, it is also very important to realize that this invisible layer has a direct impact on the physiological reality of our bodies. The humans of the postdigital age are literally, as much metaphorically navigating in an information ocean of electromagnetic waves” –  Mathieu Bujnowskyj

“The architecture of the well-connected environment” is about the possibility to shape the spatial repartition of the electromagnetic layer in a similar way we mastered the thermal and environmental control of space. It is about designing new spatial poetics, domestic routines, appropriation patterns architectural typologies and architectonic elements taking into consideration the non-visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum #fullspectrum #postdigital #wifiscapes #techbrutalism #digitalbricolage

IAM – Internet Age Media is developing a series of short videos questioning essential topics of the postdigital age such as print vs. digital media, how to make a sustainable living in internet businesses, niche ecosystems, etc. Definitively worth to connect to future and current innovative architectural practices. >>> http://www.internetagemedia.com/we-are-internet

Hi there ! If you are interested in digital fabrication the MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms has an open courseware.

In the 1920′s, Le Corbusier developed his architecture on the roots of the Second industrial revolution – on the aesthetics of the machine, on new principles of industrial production that set the bases for Modern Architecture. We are living also the genesis of a new “third” industrial revolution, what should be the architectural answer to this paradigm shift ? 

“Postdigital” implies a period going after, or in continuity of the digital revolution. But what is the digital revolution itself ?  Professor Neil Gershenfeld from the MIT center for Bits and Atoms presents the history of the digital revolution. Actually there is three phases in the digital revolution, first the digital conversion of communication, then the computing and finally the fabrication.
