DESIGNING THE IN-BETWEEN
DEFINING A NEW URBAN EXPERIENCE THROUGH THE LENS OF DIGITAL CRAFT
Award-winning studio FUTUREFORMS has made a name for itself activating public space through works that blur the boundaries between public art and architecture.
What does it mean to create public art and architecture in the 21st century? As cities become increasingly digital, the boundary between the built environment and the algorithms that shape our lives is beginning to dissolve. This shift is being defined by a new era of‘ Digital Craft’— a process that utilizes computational logic to move beyond massstandardization. By treating the computer as a master artisan’ s tool, architecture is no longer a static object, but a site-specific intervention that responds to its environment like a living participant in the urban realm.
