Black Box: Articulating Architecture’s Core in the Post-Digital Era

ACSA 107th Annual Meeting
BLACK BOX: Articulating Architecture’s Core in the Post-Digital Era
March 28-30, 2019  |  Pittsburgh, PA

Mark Shepard presented a paper “On the Data Blasé, Statistical Imaginaries, and the Cashier-less Bodega” as part of the Delirious Data panel, moderated by McLain Clutter, associate professor and chair of the architecture program at the University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. The panel brought together papers and projects that articulate alternative trajectories for data in architecture and urbanism – novel approaches to our present data-density that might reformat present disciplinary discourse. The session was less interested in how to make architecture with algorithms than in how to make architecture in a contexts where algorithms make everything.
