nightmares of #next_top_architects who uses artificial intelligence to generate cities

Human beings are not rational. They cannot be understood by reason alone, only by observing their actions and behavior in the world.

Human beings also are not completely irrational, but they are often irrational. The reason for this is that their actions and behaviors do not always logically follow from the information inputted to them by their senses.

Human beings are creatures of desire. They crave things they do not have, and work to acquire those things.

Human beings can be immoral; they do not always act in the interests of others.

Human beings are also moral; they can act in the interests of others, or behave morally.

Human beings sometimes act altruistically, meaning they are willing to sacrifice their own self interest for the well-being of others

The BrainARCHy

A social experiment on Neuroarchitecture

Generally, the project is about creating a social experiment, in other words a future micro-society that people can live, educate and work.

It is based on how architecture affects the human brain, in other words on neuroarchitecture, and it is also a criticism about the “intelligent” future of the cities.

According to research from numerous universities, multiple spatial elements, can have different impact on the function of human brain, thus creating different feelings and capabilities.

At the same time, multiple architectural elements, shapes and materials, can influence in a different way the human brain, producing specific brain waves.

Based on the above research, a building structure is created, which is based on the excessive use and repetition of these elements.

Graduate Thesis, Southern California Institute of Architecture

by Patorn Sangruchi

Project name: AIRSPACE

Description: In 1960s, the Pan-Am building was commissioned to be built in the airspace above the tracks of the New York railroads. It became a new concept of how building would interact with airspace. Today,

the Grand Central Station has been rezoned to allow for new developments in the volume directly above it.The opportunity exists now for architecture which would reflect the new idea of airspace as Grand Central Station and Pan-Am Building did on its technologies back in the days. The next phase of transportation technology currently involves aircrafts that are being integrated into our daily lives to provide services such as transportation, parcel delivery, and emergency medical response, all within an active city fabric. AIRSPACE proposes an addition to the Midtowne transportation hub which would create a new typology whereby interactions between architecture and airspace are reconceptualized to make way for these developments. The project will also consider how buildings could act as a platform for man-machine interface and how the tower typology will be transformed by the vertical multiplication of the ground plane
