lab[au] pursuits since its foundation in 1995 the objective to link theoretical research the lab with the specific conditions in the elaboration and production of inFORMational projects la.BAU. As a collaborative agency including different partners from different disciplines, lab|au| sets up a network, a critical space of reflection and experimentation focusing on the specific modalities of IC technologies in their setting of languages as well as their potential in the founding of a discipline, MetaDeSign.
Metadesign as a discipline is about the transposition of inFORMation processes, transmission and computation, in textual, graphical, three-dimensional and biomorphic forms, in order to build up connectivity and effectiveness.In this manner MetaDeSign displays the theme of new space constructs relative to information processes As a collaborative agency ...>, including different partners from different disciplines, lab|au| sets up a network of transdiciplinary work focusing on the specific modalities of IC technologies in their setting of languages as well as their founding of a discipline, Meta.Design ...> according to social, semantic and spatial structures. It is the definition of architecture like codes / language drawn from concepts of communication and information sciences with that of architecture.. 'Metadesign' thus can be understood as a technology determinism that constitutes the main vector/thought in the concern of networked, information-based societies. | |
