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

Urban Reef: Shampoo addresses the problems of localised ground discontinuity and programmatic and physical isolation within a larger urban area, by proposing a highly connected 3D network of housing integrated with commercial as well as recreational uses. By utilising the coral reef model as an example of an adaptive ecology defined by local relationships, the coral growth principle of increased growth rate at areas of high curvature is used to inform the distribution of housing units within the proposed network, while the fusion principle is investigated to differentiate the housing typology according to parameters of height, orientation and position in the site.
