An ongoing project of articulating and hybridizing architecture’s environmental agencies.
The environmental prosthetic: architecture performs as an active infrastructure within local and regional ecological contexts.
The environmental machine: architecture focuses internally, via high performance envelopes, efficient use of structure control of autonomous climates.
The environmental index: rather than attempting to alter the environment, architecture works to make it visible and understandable.
The environmental aesthetic: architecture questions its own definition and boundary through the production of heuristic, aesthetic experiences.
These otherwise “complete” agencies of architecture are forced into entangled adjacencies with one another which results in the production of hybrids: novel agencies beyond the original four.
