“Late twentieth-century machines have made thoroughly ambiguous the difference between natural and artificial, mind and body, self-developing and externally designed, and many other distinctions that used to apply to organisms and machines. Our machines are disturbingly lively, and we ourselves frighteningly inert.�

** The student work shown here is the product of ongoing research using AI and style-transfer networks. This semester’s work pivots from an earlier focus on questions concerning machine-human collaboration in the design of architecture to a closer investigation of the peculiar, tendentious qualities these AI produced images possess. We looked to mimicry, described by Roger Caillois in “Mimicry and Legendary Psychasthenia” as notions of behavioral excess and material luxury, terms borrowed from George Bataille in his writing “The Accursed Share.” We sought to employ the AI to develop strange, new sets of artificial features in order to develop speculative proposals that engage ideas of artificial nature, density and new ideas of the sublime using Death Valley, CA as the site for our proposals. **

** Style-transfer networks were tasked to integrate and hybridize biological and architectonic features toward the formation of uncanny specimens as a site to speculate about the scale, function and material fabrication of such features. In addition, preconceived notions about the relationships between features, edges, figure, and ground begin to be reconsidered here. **

** The site for this studio is the strange landscape of Death Valley, CA. The students traveled to the site and hiked through the diverse, otherworldly terrain including Salt Creek, Badwater Basin, Devil’s Hole, Artist’s Palette, and the curious moving rocks in Racetrack Playa. It is within this vast and enigmatic environment that students proposed artificial landscapes consisting of large curiously featured grounds and architectural spaces that emerge and dissolve between the existing and proposed “natures”. **

*gemmifera coleoptera (n.) the analysis of the gemmifera coleoptera shows the breakdown of the specimen’s parts, and how these parts function harmoniously while giving the specimen certain capabilities that it has adapted over time within its native environment. Looking at the two main components of the specimen, the head and appendage, we can understand how all of its parts come together in a specified area. The flexible, pinkish vessels in the head and on the arm allow the specimen to capture and absorb nutrients providing the specimen with optimal functionality that is dispersed throughout the body as a whole. The gray structures provide a rigidity not only for protection against decay and degradation, but also to keep these main pinkish areas in tact as they have become the specimen’s most critical components. While allowing the specimen to achieve a great sense of tactility, these structural components come together at ball and socket joints, much like that of a shoulder, to allow for maximum movement throughout the appendage. They allow the specimen to move forward, dig below the surface, or even lift off the surface to traverse over impeding objects. // Instructor: Karel Klein, Assistant Instructor: Ryan Barnette

Bio-artificial Incubator

Nesting inside the tunnels and invading to the Death Valley, the incubators are the generators of the artificial nature.

They connect to the research lab nearby and they are constantly depositing and recollecting substances reshaping the salt basin site.

Passageway Tunnel

The merging and separating passageways are composed of several artificial tunnels. They are both the architectural frame of the research center and infrastructural for a larger network spreading out to the Death Valley. By using a combination of concrete and pervious salt rocks of the natural salt basin, all the passageways together also act as experimentation fields of the research center.

Death Valley Ground

The artificial ground extending to the underground of the existing site, intertwining with energy pipes and research excavation tunnels, it becomes a new root system inhabiting research programs and supporting the foundation of the architecture.

Pervious Carapace

The shell wraps around the passage tunnel that acts as experimental testing field where the reconfigured salt and sand materials are burst out of the incubator and deployed on the surface. The pervious structure allows them to be recollect at the bottom.

Bio-artificial Incubator

Nesting inside the passageway frame, this bio-engine controled by artificial intelligence collects natural sand, volcanic deposits, and microorganisms to produce, test, and observe the artifical nature within the research field.

Observation Deck

It is on the edge of the passageway where the original Death Valley geology meets the artificial nature. Researchers and visitors are inside the artificial ecosystem and looking out to the sub-tropical and desert landscape of the salt basin.

Death Valley Ground

The root system served as infrastructural tunnels are embedded into the existing salt basin ground.

By have access to speicemens from different depths enables researchers to study the ever-changing behaviors of the Death Valley geology.

HYBRID MODULATOR

Brain

Nucleus of the specimen’s central nervous system; here, all the voluntary and involuntary biological sequences are controlled and signaled from. Hybridity is of great importance in this area so as to support, yet also protect the vital material.

Armor

At the intersection of head and core, the armor supports the joint of two major components of the specimen’s body. The highly intricate armor acts as a sort of neck brace which allows two castly different systems to meet; as a result it is hollow to a degree.

Gill

The gill implies amphibious nature within the specimen. It is capable of consuming the fluids other than oxygen which the specimen encounters and then passes these along towards the center of the body, where they can be broken down to further aid secondary bodily functions.

Membrane Scope

The scope has two primary functions which pertain to the securing of prey as well as the utilization of nutrients and other important fluid intake. It uses visual perception to lock into prey and then releases a gelatinous “goo” which captures and breaks down the detained.

The membrane is, scientifically, considered both structural and intestinal; that is, its interlocking with the core locks the body into pace, while the slippage between the two allows digested foods and other intake to pass from the central shaft into the outer extremities of the body.

Armature Core

The core is both skeletal as well as active in its role in the specimen’s body. Its cylindrical shape serves as the specimen’s spine while its interiority processes consumed fluids and solids and passes them along from the head.

Calcified elements throughout the wing loosely define the shape and structure of the materials which fill the spaces in between.

Skin

The porous material which drapes the armature and infills the spaces between it, protecting the internal organs found throughout the wing and, much like the rudder’s webbing, capturing air and achieving lift upon flight of the specimen.

Rudder

The slight variations in orientation of the rudder hep determine directionality in movement, i.e. it serves to steer the specimen, including during flight. Its structure is served by webbing which captures air in its pocket.

// 74

ARCH 704_Spring 2020 //

Cranium

The protective skeletal layer of the head which supports the nervous system’s sensitive material. It is the foremost part of the specimen’s skull.

Cerebrum

The nervous fibers which compose much of the electrical signal dispersed from the brain.

Processing Chip

The intricate, rigid structure filters information generated by the cerebrum and disperses it accordingly throughout the body.

Gill

Another example of auxiliary intake along the neck region of the specimen. The gill supports the respiratory system by breaking down helpful particles which arrive in forms other than gas molecules.

Scilia

The fibrous tendriles which allow the specimen to smell. The hair-like structures also help filter the outside air as it passes through the many intake holes and fluid chutes.

Sensory Fluid

This “goo” is released from the scope and spread into the surrounding environment. It is multi-functional in that it sends an electrical signal back through the scope when it encounters prey, and it aso has acidic qualities that physically capture the prey and begin the digestive process outside of the body.

Exchange Zone

A close-up shot of the membrane and the passage of bodily fluids from the central core to the outer areas of the skin and wing.

// Instructor: Karel Klein, Assistant Instructor: Ryan Barnette

// 75

Directional Wing

The directional wing has a unique purpose, acting as a sort of dorsal fin and complementing the complexity and size of the larger opposite area which achieves lift.

The directional wing and the rudder are akin to the rotors of a helicopter.

Intake

One of several minute openings through which the specimen consumes its nutrients in either solid, liquid, or gaseous form.

Fluid Chute

Similar to intake, the fluid chutes are local to the armor.

They provide relative flexibility on this otherwise rigid area and allow a certain aerodynamicism, hence the understanding of this opening as one that allows the movement of fluid.

Webbing

The lightweight, soft material that fills in the gaps between the more structural elements of the rudder.

Much like a wing, the webbing resists air molecules and affects the specimen’s flight path.

Energy Discharge

An example of an appendage point at which heat and light are exuded as a result of the processes preceding it internally and externally.

*hybrid modulator (n.) this specimen feeds off of its environment, extracting nutrients from its surroundings in the form of minerals and organic material. Its exchange chambers facilitate a phase change in the extracted material which it then disperses throughout itself and puts to various subsequent uses, including as hunting goo which it uses to entrap prey. This exchange mimics the extraction of minerals from the soil of mycelium, which ultimately grows throughout the subsequent project’s synthetic nature until a buildup of pressure forces its release as spores which attract new birds and insects to Death Valley

Salt Formations Strange and unusua rock-like formations whose crystalline molecular structures result in the emergent patterns, flanked with veins.

Filtration Pools Protruding earth formations on this even plane disrupt the flow of salt through Salt Creek and extract it.

Striated Coils These artificial installations break down the scale of Salt Creek’s landscape, allowing flora and fauna to emerge in new patterns to the area.

Stratified Formations The stratified formations operate similarly to the striated coils but subtractively rather than additively - their emergence occurs embedded within large rock formations.

Salt Basin Salt basins found within this site serve as retainment areas for salt flowing through the area that can be used for research and artistic purposes.

*technoid insectile cyborg (n.) a cyborg beetle which is capable of detecting the narrow or dangerous space. It gathers information and distributes the data to the humans. Its large head consists of a large brain and lungs to facilitate the computation. It is a highly developed form of intelligence with implanted computing AI ability, it is capable of making decisions by itself based on its feeling of the surroundings, and rationalizing those decisions by computing and analyzing data. This beetle is friendly to humans, also cooperates with the rescue team at the disaster scene. Normally it operates with an energy fueled engine, converted from nutrients. As its biomechanical engine is combined with a digestive organ, it is also considered to be a warm blooded animal that feeds on small insects and grains. It captures preys with the tentacle located near its mouth and extracts their fluid and to consume energy and sustain its bio-mechanical state. // Instructor: Karel Klein, Assistant Instructor: Ryan Barnette

*retiform water strider (n.)

-this specimen is characterized by it inhabitation of a humid, waterside environment. The specimen develops unique features to adapt to nature. “Water strider� indicates this specimen is a predator walking on the water. Its unique webbing shape structure can help it move across the water by contracting and expanding, also providing limited movement for its skeleton due to its porous structure.

After a long period of adaptation to such a harsh environment, the specimen has evolved hard translucent shells to protect its soft organization.

Those features help the retiform water strider become an aquatic overlord.
