Can architecture integrate living functions? Can new buildings know and care? The Hylozoic Series brings together researchers and designers from Canada; USA; and Europe attempting to develop a potent new kind of lightweight architecture. The group is devoted to developing new technologies and new aesthetics for adaptive building systems. New generations of floating filigrees and filtering meshworks offer empathic feelings and self-renewing metabolisms. This book gathers together working papers that demonstrate current work in progress within this increasingly ambitious collaboration. Documents from Hylozoic Series installations in Salt Lake City; Sydney; Trondheim; Nottingham; London; Cambridge; Paris; Hangzhou and Seoul constructed between 2011 and 2013 are included in brief.
