Paolo Cascone: Eco-logic design: Towards high-tech design, low-tech construction (February 16, 2011)58:24

After an introduction by John Enright, Paolo Cascone of COdesignLab talks about using environmental variables as drivers for the design process.

Cascone discusses several projects including “Urban Ecologies: towards a performative urbanism,” and two office buildings designed through “performative testing.”

one discusses his research on African vernacular construction methods, and how they can inform a new architectural paradigm incorporating high-tech design with low-tech construction methods.
