Exhibition at PHASE 2 Gallery, 8/09/09 - 2/10/09, 8 Fitzroy St, London W1T 4BJ
Digital Hinterlands features a diverse range of work by some of the best recent architecture graduates from London's Architectural Association, Bartlett , Royal College of Art, and University of Westminster. Curated by Ruairi Glynn in consultation with Arup, this exhibition revealed how the latest computational design and rapid manufacturing processes are providing new ways of understanding and designing space. From built models, 1:1 fragments, material experiments and installations, to interactive devices, virtual worlds and robotics, the exhibition presented the ideas of a wave of young designers, operating on the speculative hinterlands of architectural design.
The work featured in the exhibition has been published alongside interviews, conversations and articles written by leading London Architects in Digital Architecture: Passages Through Hinterlands

MatArc: Increasingly, new universities and research clusters are touted as campus cities. The impetus behind such claims is the desire for the campus to draw upon the vitality of the city. Nanterre Campus has failed to become a utopian centre on the periphery of Paris due to the relentless growth of the city centre. MatArc is positioned to act as a catalyst, as a monumental centre, with a critical mass that will inevitably reconfigure the existing urban fabric to evolve MatArc into a centre for growth. Together, the Mat building, with the monumental arch will give Paris a new building typology, the MatArc.
