The existing IBM campus is on a axial system of organization. People that come into the building have to come along the lines of axis, I wish for the next development of building to respond to that organization but then flow into its own very distinct organization. The axial organization of building was a popular form of organizing building that need to have importance such as government institutions and in contemporary society large corporate organization what to present them self as a very organized and strict structure. Since IBM is in the business of innovation and discovery, what if this new building does not respond to this antiquated system, what if the building found its own organization system the was not axial the power and authority of the building comes from the way the building uses innovative way to connect the work force to each other as well as how the employees operate in the building and the way the building is integrated into the landscape, whether in some cases the building is carved into the building or were it begins to find its own space above ground.

Introduction

To regulate systems—existing and designed—is the role of the contemporary architect. Systems are governing practices, rule sets, manners of assembly, part-to-whole relationships, and networks. Increasingly, architectural design can be understood as the management of interrelations and degrees of correspondence between multiple systems—technical, structural, material, ecological, infrastructural, and sociocultural.

The influence of abstract organizational principles on corporeal/material constructs will be a central point of examination for design research. The studio will frame the horizontal spatial planning practices of mat-building typologies and the vertical material constructs of thickened wall-surfaces as distinct but reciprocally related forms of material-organization—systems that exhibit a predisposition toward continuity and a potential for differentiation. We will invent novel systems of organization at the intersection of visual and spatial fields, with the promise of eliciting new formations capable of providing diverse social ecologies and alternative performative characteristics.

Our investigation will depart from traditional modular organizations (uniform and repetitive) in favor of systems of complex repetition. Modernist architectural space sought to establish consistency between parts and wholes through modular logics made possible by the processes of industrialization; these methods relied on regulating systems and planning grids to organize space, particularly in plan organizations. While modules are stable or homogeneous systems of elements that can only be replicated or aggregated, complex repetition is an example of part-to-whole patterning that can become locally specific. While early attempts at complex patterning systems were still periodic (based on filling space with more varied yet still fixed parts), new tools allow us to explore aperiodic and non-recursive part-to-whole relationships, based on variable but specifiable parts and geometries. The studio will explore the possibility to organize flexible part-to-whole relationships that can grow and differentiate to produce complex material-organizations.
