| Abstract | This studio works on the idea that a substantial understanding of today's technology (internet of things, big data, machine intelligence ...) changes the perspective to architectural theory and will result in different architectural designs and building Constructions. |
| Objective | 1) Identification and understanding of the challenges of today's technologies; 2) techniques of working within the plenty of the internet; 3) a methodology to design digital architectures; 4) understanding of the shift from hard building construction to soft building applications, and 5) an understanding of the importance of becoming a literate digital persona in order to be an architect today. |
| Content | METEORA #07 will use artificial intelligence to write a text to explicate a precise position in today's world, to create a spectrum of images to reflect this world and design an architectural artefact which brings things into adequate proportions |
