Laurence Crouzet participates in Session III Digital Knowledge Cultures.
Friday, November 22, 2024 at TUM-Institute for Advanced Study, Lichtenbergstraße 2a, 85748 Garching.
Advanced digital technologies and research in architectural materials and construction processes are transforming work and life towards digitalisation and sustainability. These developments present opportunities not only to reduce environmental impacts, but also to address long-standing labour inequalities, social injustices and gender imbalances in the field. This workshop aims to explore how social discourses and knowledge cultures shape and are shaped by new technologies. It will examine design processes at the intersection of craft, systems thinking and algorithmic cultures, explore how the knowledge embedded in technology can be made more accessible, and offer ways to engage with the ecologies of making.
Lulu’s research focuses on repairing digitally fabricated architecture and ensuring the long-term preservation of related digital-born data and construction processes. Traditional building research methods alone cannot adequately capture information for authentic maintenance and upgrade. It is essential to prioritize approaches that leverage novel technologies, such as augmented reality, motion capture and tracking, and human-machine collaboration. Overlaying digital twins and human motion to synchronize with the physical twin allows for a seamless and precise repair process. This favors the transmission of intangible cultural heritage while preserving craftsmanship methods of discretely assembled buildings.
