Ad-hoc responses, mutual aid, and mediatized life-at-home altered the conditions of domestic interiors. This exhibition is part documentary, cataloging shifting conditions of living and relationships to the home, and part imaginative, projecting forward how shared domestic infrastructure might radically redefine visions of resilient neighborhoods.

The image of a duct-as-dune interprets the ceiling as an environment full of labor, design, and perhaps delight, or, at the very least, comfort. It considers the overhead site as a productive plenum for architectural positions. <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6f5c3dd00cec77c60ddbb664602544845445d958a29a70aa16329a5f2f5cf4d2/ds1.jpg" data-mid="62188486" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6f5c3dd00cec77c60ddbb664602544845445d958a29a70aa16329a5f2f5cf4d2/ds1.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/40505858f07516c7a951de92ca2c5fbc71128319d6f03a877016786e162cadb4/ds2.jpg" data-mid="62190283" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/40505858f07516c7a951de92ca2c5fbc71128319d6f03a877016786e162cadb4/ds2.jpg" /> Dune Ducts is presented as half of Superposition, a joint exhibition with Katy Barkan installed in the gallery at Perloff Hall in the Department of Architecture and Urban Design at UCLA. The joint exhibitions share an interest in the threshold between architectural objects and their spatial corollaries, skirting a clear boundary between the production of things and the production of environments. Superposition, as a model of working, does not attempt to resolve or reconcile. Rather, it serves as a counterpoint to the paradigms of synthesis and juxtaposition. The overlay of multiple categories of work and multiple authors allows for errors, transpositions, and irresoluble differences. <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1e3c66763c4f37458e29ff70f9f8905b5f762bee9e32e5590af208136d07fb58/ds3.jpg" data-mid="62191414" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1e3c66763c4f37458e29ff70f9f8905b5f762bee9e32e5590af208136d07fb58/ds3.jpg" /> Photos by Joshua White Fall 2019 https://descriptive.services/Condition-Exchange-Unit Thu, 27 Feb 2025 19:22:59 +0000 Descriptive Services https://descriptive.services/Condition-Exchange-Unit <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4a79dfe8966cd206813e247f11e4c70c06f3309bb317ea72aae044fd78838dc3/vlcsnap-2024-04-19-14h55m51s280.png" data-mid="227359644" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4a79dfe8966cd206813e247f11e4c70c06f3309bb317ea72aae044fd78838dc3/vlcsnap-2024-04-19-14h55m51s280.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fcd719a3c91af3317eb19efbaffcbe79fd791289077c96a9bc17e8e3ace8da76/vlcsnap-2024-04-19-14h58m49s427.png" data-mid="227359646" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fcd719a3c91af3317eb19efbaffcbe79fd791289077c96a9bc17e8e3ace8da76/vlcsnap-2024-04-19-14h58m49s427.png" /> Condition Exchange Unit Condition Exchange Unit connects histories and futures of air management through interactive projections of a digital environment.

Over the past year, the demands of working from home (for those fortunate to do so) and households of simultaneous tele-activities posed challenges to the communal occupation of space. Architectural habits like the open floor plan require a constant negotiation of activities. Rather than minimize the negotiations of collective living, this house revels in them. The communal residence navigates the individual within the collective with a fluctuating series of overlays, openings, and boundaries.

The waste from large structural members is made into veneer and strand lumber while the sawdust is boiled into pulp and formed into sheets. Wood is standardized and deformations are smoothed out. The architecture of the American Southwest has long used whole and minimally processed timber. Vigas, latillas, and coyote fences bare the traces of trees, forests, and imperfections. As increasingly severe storms, fires, and unpredictable weather decimate trees, debris is an increasingly pervasive material. <img width="1746" height="1314" width_o="1746" height_o="1314" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/88747db61b787dfbd7b977e5d02f1ee81e9b2930cb04b01e3377e6327b567322/2_Dwg.jpg" data-mid="227358713" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/88747db61b787dfbd7b977e5d02f1ee81e9b2930cb04b01e3377e6327b567322/2_Dwg.jpg" /> <img width="1746" height="1314" width_o="1746" height_o="1314" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/62ec574c50ae6f817a3231352532bc5cb7827341c3fc3e26b060d0fabb1b94de/branch1port.jpg" data-mid="245540643" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/62ec574c50ae6f817a3231352532bc5cb7827341c3fc3e26b060d0fabb1b94de/branch1port.jpg" /> Debris Structures documents a series of works made using timber debris. Fall trees, branches, and timber wreckage are used to create a series of structures guided by their imperfections. In Debris Structures, computational design methods layer on long-standing building traditions to capture the specific properties of each piece. Timber is scanned, modeled, and put to work in irregular compositions. Presented as a series of digitally-generated prints, the structures shape an architecture of timber debris.

The Museum as Climate Policy redefines institutions as a public resource where the nature of content is reassigned to the public. The Museum as Climate Policy generates thought on climate change and green futures through user documentation and public policy contributions. Rather than conserving objects, this physical and digital museum is a center for documenting and untangling the web of climate impact, understanding the relationship between the individual and the collective. The museum addresses the need for urgent action on climate change by restituating the museum as the center of policy discourse and providing an infrastructure for direct action.&nbsp; The museum’s visitors are empowered to recover from climate guilt and doomism, and to instigate change via an exchange of object for knowledge and knowledge to action.

We're calling our software Match-by-Patches. Like the Content Aware tool in Photoshop or Warhol's Paint-by-numbers, it doesn’t introduce entirely new things, it just reshuffles existing content. We thought it fitting to use it for a renovation, in this case, an office. To force some comparisons with this method of working, it could be considered a form of painting. Indeed, the larger field of adjacent techniques and tools is called in-painting. Also known as image interpolation, in-painting is used to reconstruct deteriorated parts of images or to paint-in missing pieces based on surrounding imagery of materials. However, it also bears resemblance to what could be considered drawing. Moving a cursor across a screen to select a region of pixels relies on lines to enclose an area. If imaging can be described as a form of drawing with material, then drawing in-painting might serve to give material some form of coherence according to image logic.

Supported by the UCLA Architecture and Urban Design Teaching Fellowship, the exhibition presents the back-side of the wall as a site of coordinated labor, loose material formation, and the internet of concrete.&nbsp; 10 Casts constructed a one bedroom apartment’s worth of plumbing containing hook ups for a bathroom sink, shower, and toilet and a kitchen sink. Forced to fit in the space of 2426, a gallery for architecture in Los Angeles, the apartment’s walls were distorted around the floor grid of the gallery. Various formats of imaging inform casting and guide the pouring of concrete on tilted formwork: accelerometer readings, standards of plumbing flow rates, properties of thermal expansion, and edge-detecting video feeds of concrete slurry against a snap line grid. <img width="1200" height="798" width_o="1200" height_o="798" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f266ad7607b58bd48547c9ad7b4532451c4294b61111d9f97a761380d40d4d0a/image-13.jpg" data-mid="63485684" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f266ad7607b58bd48547c9ad7b4532451c4294b61111d9f97a761380d40d4d0a/image-13.jpg" /> The sensor readings and imaging feeds steer slumping in areas of need and produce void or thinness where a thickened mass was not required. Wifi enabled microprocessors and accelerometers attached to formwork both calibrate tilts and stream live to the web. After installation, the wifi boards streamed independent networks through which visitors could access drawings and instructions, merging the means of construction and dissemination.

The organizations were separated for distinct activities but joined for maximum shared space for large events. Partitions separate. The lack of cladding connects. Infrastructure, storage, and a variety of functions are built into the walls and can be rearranged depending on functional needs or desired levels or opacity. To enable the diverse uses of the space, the design and build out included flexible furniture (tables, benches, a stage) that can be collapsed, moved, or plugged into the wall frames. The lease for 177 Livingston was an experimental arrangement between the landlord, the city, and the three organizations. Because the free lease was given for anywhere between three months and two years, the open frames were designed to be easily taken down, flat packed, and set up in a new temporary space. Designed in collaboration with Rachel Himmelfarb with support from common room.

The work shifts the focus from architecture projects as such toward a conceptual framing of how Office Equipment and Operating Systems support the descriptive services of architectural production. Scanners, plotters, desks, measuring devices, software subscriptions, shared drives, modified appliances, and purpose-built tools sit alongside each other. The customization of equipment may no longer distinguish the qualities of work. Yet like the books in an architect’s library, equipment establishes a set of references. Organized by Reimaging, installations feature work by Theo Triantafyllidis, d.esk, Reimaging, and Roundhouse Collective. <img width="1200" height="585" width_o="1200" height_o="585" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d32f1f341e19fe7d207e247f4de81d814f37e25346113f8e3e989b60bc1eebe5/oeos3.gif" data-mid="62191599" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d32f1f341e19fe7d207e247f4de81d814f37e25346113f8e3e989b60bc1eebe5/oeos3.gif" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c59c9c24399922939743c04d955452af2e7739ef9a3bd2a86ab2b999cf527580/oeos7.jpg" data-mid="62192579" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c59c9c24399922939743c04d955452af2e7739ef9a3bd2a86ab2b999cf527580/oeos7.jpg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5faa2fd8285aab6806306283817b7b80445d69a025d3c08afbe143f366894c96/oeos2.JPG" data-mid="62192577" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5faa2fd8285aab6806306283817b7b80445d69a025d3c08afbe143f366894c96/oeos2.JPG" /> <img width="2048" height="1581" width_o="2048" height_o="1581" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ce8542a84dabd7eeb3ea90c25c94a93e0846aef81cba86b110e041f1f82376a5/oeos-zoom-out.jpg" data-mid="62191465" border="0" data-scale="89" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ce8542a84dabd7eeb3ea90c25c94a93e0846aef81cba86b110e041f1f82376a5/oeos-zoom-out.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1500" width_o="2000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2b6aa70ad92e3ca9e04b0d41c74384b3cc56c495c58771e958d8efebb47d84d1/oeos-5.jpg" data-mid="62192576" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2b6aa70ad92e3ca9e04b0d41c74384b3cc56c495c58771e958d8efebb47d84d1/oeos-5.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1500" width_o="2000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7690bae16cfa6946132037b79ce6617ea735cc3bb8ed2ff4d7e1d69d238cc945/oeos6.jpg" data-mid="62192578" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7690bae16cfa6946132037b79ce6617ea735cc3bb8ed2ff4d7e1d69d238cc945/oeos6.jpg" />
