Forecasting Design: Architecture Defined by Entropic Processes

Jared Winchester and Cory Greenfield will present recent work from their collaborative design studio, Entropic Industries, including their proposal for the Albuquerque Public Art Design Competition. The studio seeks new ways of conceiving architecture so that the forces of time and nature are not an antithesis to its inhabitation, but a catalytic ingredient. Each project, in different ways, accepts the inevitability of a changing environment and forecasts ways in which the building or infrastructure can not only persevere, but be transformed through these dynamic and unpredictable states. The designs emerge as a result of serendipitous relationships staged between built form and a set of geographic variables—the initiation of a process, not the execution of a fixed result.
