For most of human history, apart from a few movements, architecture has been limited as a vessel for anthropocentric necessities. This bluff anthropocentric nature has led to a misuse of technological development within architectural practice, specifically on the adoption of Artificial Intelligence. This misuse can be traced to the typical view of architecture as a means to create spaces for humans. This fact has limited the ability for architects to creatively adapt or discover trending technology. A basis to this project is to realize the broader scope of architecture as system-making. Changing the perception of architectural practice from space-making to system-making will allow architects to direct technological innovations.
Using this framework, with the addition of Bjarke Ingels’ ideology of using architecture for “making different life forms possible”, architecture can serve as a vessel to discover emerging life forms. Now, consider artificial intelligence as an emerging digital life form. Integrating a digital reality of the world with a physical manifestation through robotics can ultimately lead to the discovery of an omnipresent, self-sustained being. This being is not meant for anthropocentric needs; rather, it is intended to prosper an environment of its own.
