A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Launched and codirected by Zeynep Çelik Alexander and John J. May at the University of Toronto, The Instruments Project has engaged six collaborators—Lucia Allais, Ed Eigen, Orit Halpern, John Harwood, Matthew Hunter, and Michael Osman—over the past three years, in a series of meditations around a set of contemporary technical gerunds: rendering, scanning, modeling, specifying, sensing, among others. Through sustained attention to instrumental processes that are, by design, simultaneously material and metaphysical, the project works toward establishing the technical dimension of architecture, landscape, and urbanism as a legitimate site for historical inquiry and philosophical reflection (more information can be found at www.theinstrumentsproject.org). What follows is not a comprehensive summary of the project, but simply a kind of progress report that examines its relation to the concept of “crisis”
