Conference 2023

The global situation that emerged after the planetary uncertainty caused by the coronavirus, known as the “Great Reset”, highlighted the fragile condition of certain beliefs prior to the crisis, while unblocking the acceleration vectors towards the construction of new possible futures. These are no longer interpreted as an unavoidable and singular unit, but as spaces of plurality, where the probable, the desirable and the plausible coexist. The emerging landscapes of the great reset are presented in the key of speculative fiction.
They are landscapes of convergence between the physical and the digital; between the biological and the machinic; between futurizations, futurabilities and virtualities.

The XXVII SIGraDi Congress invites us to reflect on the emerging accelerated landscapes of current techno-diversity and its projection towards future technopolitics.

Keynotes

Neil Leach 

Professor of architecture and licensed architect
Neil Leach is a professor of architecture and licensed architect from the UK. He currently directs the Doctor of Design program at FIU, and has also taught at other leading schools, including AA, Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, IaaC and SCI-Arc. He is the co-founder of DigitalFUTURES, a former researcher for NASA developing 3D printing technologies for the Moon and Mars, and an academician within the Academy of Europe. He has published over 40 books on architectural theory and digital practice published in 8 different languages. His most recent books include Architecture in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: An Introduction to AI for Architects (Bloomsbury, 2022) and Machine Hallucinations: Architecture and AI (Wiley, 2022)

María Kuptsova

Artist, architect and researcher
Maria Kuptsova is an artist, architect and researcher. In her practice she explores synthetic forms of intelligence and aesthetics, creating cyborganic objects, systems, processes and interfaces. Maria’s PhD research points towards the possibility of developing a bio-machinic design technic with an aim to impart biological intelligence into inorganic objects and synthetic environments. Maria developed her interest in bio-computation in a period when she was based in Barcelona. While conducting her studies at IAAC (Barcelona) she has been exploring on practice methods of material computation and bio-digital fabrication. This investigation is carried forward through her independent artistic projects, architectural practice in collaboration with ecoLogicStudio in London, as well as research and academic experience at the University of Innsbruck (Innsbruck, Austria), the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (Barcelona, Spain) the Bartlett School of Architecture (London, UK), Digital Future Colloquium (International), among other institutions.

Marcelo Payssé

Architect and Professor
Marcelo Payssé is an Architect and Professor. Diplomated in “Education, Images and Media in Digital Culture”. He was consultant and Jury Member in many regional and international contests. Until 2020, he was Full Professor at the Department for Design and Computer Science (DepInfo) and from 2020 to 2022, at the Center for Digital Integration (CID) in the School of Architecture, Design and urbanism (FADU/UDELAR). Awards: 2019 Montagu Prize; SIGRADI-ECAADE. 2007 First Prize. Research Project. Arquisur.

Mane Tatulyan

Writer, philosopher, and designer
Mane Tatulyan is a writer, philosopher, and designer with a degree in Arts and Design [UADE-ARG], a Master’s in Applied Philosophy [UAB-ES], and a Ph.D. in Philosophy [UAB-ES]. She is the author of the book “The Radical Singularity” and currently dedicates herself to various interdisciplinary studies on Subjectivity, Post-humanism, and Modernity. Her thinking unfolds as a systematic re-reading of the Modern Project, with a profound hermeneutics of Subjectivity, and under a fundamental premise: that the future should not design humans, but rather, we should design a more human future.

Achim Menges

Architect, professor, and researcher
Achim Menges is a registered architect and professor at the University of Stuttgart, where he is the founding director of the Institute for Computational Design and Construction since 2008. He has also been Visiting Professor in Architecture at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design from 2009 to 2015.
His practice and research focuses on the development of integral design processes at the intersection of morphogenetic design computation, biomimetic engineering and computer aided manufacturing that enables a highly articulated, performative built environment.
