title	Design in the Age of Dissident Cyborgs - Xenofuturism as caring-curing practices
source	D. Holzer, W. Nakapan, A. Globa, I. Koh (eds.), RE: Anthropocene, Design in the Age of Humans - Proceedings of the 25th CAADRIA Conference - Volume 2, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand, 5-6 August 2020, pp. 233-240

summary	This paper synthesizes several years of research in the field of the theory of architecture and design, and its subsequent undergraduate and graduate teaching. Specifically, it is a work that reflects on how architecture and design should face the three most important paradigmatic phenomena of our present and near future. Paradigms as things we think with, rather than as things we think about (Agamben, 2008), or in other words, it matters what ideas we use to think of other ideas (Strathern, 1992). These phenomena refer to environmental, technological and anthropological aspects, and the strategies to cope with them, involving alternate design thinking and practice in which futurabilities and futurizations depart from the displacement generated by post-utopian visions based on dissidence and subalternity.

title	CAD Research at the Martin Centre
source	Automation in Construction, No. 3
summary	The Martin Centre CADLAB has recently been established to investigate software techniques that could be of practical importance to architects within the next five years. In common with most CAD researchers, we are interested in the earlier, conceptual, stages of design, where commercial CAD systems have had little impact. Our approach is not Knowledge-Based, but rather focuses on using the computer as a medium for design and communication. This leads to a concentration on apparently superficial aspects such as visual appearance, the dynamics of interaction, immediate feedback, plasticity. We try to avoid building-in theoretical attitudes, and to reduce the semantic content of our systems to a low level on the basis that flexibility and intelligence are inversely related; and that flexibility is more important. The CADLAB became operational in January 1992. First year work in three areas – building models, experiencing architecture, and making drawings – is discussed.
