Round of applause | Awarded Grants

A huge congratulations to the seven research projects that have nearly three million euros from the NWO ISA Smart Cultures grant, with the aim of making connections between innovative artistic and cultural practices, and scientific and societal issues. This is a significant moment in time as NWO and SIA, only for second time, offer this trans-disciplinary route. The Smart Cultures grant acts as a springboard for dynamic researchers that continuously warp and rewrite the boundaries between the arts and sciences. ARIAS are especially excited about three of the projects awarded within our network, and pleased to see such a diverse consortium of partners! A round of applause to,

Experimental Architecture: Designing the Unknown
by Rachel Armstrong
In this ground-breaking book, the first to provide an overview of the theory and practice of experimental architecture, Rachel Armstrong explores how interdisciplinary, design-led research practices are beginning to redefine the possibilities of architecture as a profession. Drawing on experts from disciplines as varied as information technology, mathematics, poetry, graphic design, scenography, bacteriology, marine applied science and robotics, Professor Armstrong delineates original, cutting-edge architectural experiments through essays, quotes, poetry, equations and stories.
