This document summarizes a panel discussion on architecture and building technology in a post-critical age. The panelists discussed how architecture has increasingly incorporated digital technologies in practice, often prioritizing technological imperatives over critical discourse. They also noted that advances in building technology have rarely been motivated by questions of theory, ethics or justice. The panel sought to reevaluate the critical dimension of architectural design and its relationship to the material and environmental technologies that underpin practice. Specifically, they discussed how building technology could be addressed in a post-critical age.

BTES
represents
an
internaQonal
group
of
academics
who
teach
in
schools
of
architecture
and
who
are
commi^ed
to
advancing
the
value
of
technology
in
the
educaQon
of
the
architect.
Structural
design,
new
materials,
construcQon
techniques,
environmental
design,
and
digital
fabricaQon
are
some
of
the
subjects
of
interest
to
its
nearly
100
strong
membership,
be
it
manifest
via
teaching,
research,
or
scholarship.
In
this
light,
the
following
panel
discussion
seeks
to
idenQfy
contemporary
issues
of
criQcal
importance
to
architectural
educaQon
as
it
seeks
to
address
the
role
which
technology
plays
in
shaping
the
pracQce
of
design.
• Architecture,
both
within
and
beyond
the
academy,
has
recently
turned
to
all
things
technological;
doing
so,
in
an
evermore
globalized
and
networked
set
of
pracQces
predicated
on
vast
quanQQes
of
data
exchange,
the
promoQon
of
highly
mechanized
forms
of
fabricaQon,
diminishing
access
to
natural
resources
and
extensive
transnaQonal
displacements
of
human
labor.
Much
that
condiQons
the
architect’s
pracQce
is
now
predicated
on
the
limits
and
extents
of
ever
more
technological
imperaQves,
ocen
at
the
exclusion
of
all
things
criQcal
or
discursive.

10. Panel
Discussion
2/2
• Moreover,
the
extent
to
which
important
advances
in
building
technology
and
construcQon
have
been
moQvated
by
quesQons
of
theory,
ethics,
and
jusQce,
is
negligible,
if
nonexistent.
The
cultural
dimension
of
building
has
rarely
been
influenQal
in
the
development
and
deployment
of
building
based
technologies.
Instead,
market
imperaQves
and
global
procurement
pracQces
have
been
far
more
significant
in
condiQoning
what
actually
gets
built.
Acer
all,
architects
are
marginally
implicated
in
the
material
transformaQon
of
their
pracQces.
The
reasons
for
which
are
many.
Hence,
no
Qmelier
a
moment
is
there
to
reevaluate
the
criQcal
dimension
of
architectural
design,
parQcularly
in
what
concerns
its
relaQonship
to
the
material
and
environmental
technologies
that
subtend
its
pracQce
.
This
panel
discussion
seeks
to
address
the
present
lacuna
in
the
theoreQcal
foundaQons
of
the
architectural
design
by
asking
how
building
technology
might
be
addressed
in
our
post
criQcal

TECHNOLOGY
IN
a
Post-­‐Cri%cal
Age
Past
the
analog
versus
digital
divide
in
architectural
educaQon,
the
quesQon
now
becomes
what
are
the
digital
technologies
fundamental
to
an
architect’s
educaQon,
and
how/when/where
do
we
introduce
them?
Faculty
must
also
consider
whether
or
not
digital
technologies
–
especially
BIM
and
parametric
modeling
–
can
and
should
be
used
as
design
tools
and
whether
or
not
the
uQlizaQon
of
digital
tools
to
incorporate
data-­‐rich
content
concerning
building
performance,
structural

digital
fabricaQon
output
are
enriching
the
pracQce
of
architecture
or
are
too
complex
for
students
to
digest
while
in
school.
In
a
post-­‐criQcal
context,
what
then
are
pedagogical
tools
and
curricular
frameworks
that
allow
for
the
introducQon
of
criQcal
digital
technologies
as
integrated
and
integral
components
of

PRACTICE
BASED
EDUCATION
Technology
is
being
reposiQoned
in
the
pracQce
and
appreciaQon
of
architecture.
This
is
evidenced
by
an
increasing
focus
on
sustainable
design
as
well
as
in
the
recent
announcement
by
NCARB
regarding
licensure
upon
accreditaQon.
Studies
by
Design
Intelligence
seem
to
note
that
schools
are
divided
into
two
primary
groups:
those
with
a
focus
on
history/theory
and
those
that
value
technology/sustainable
design
and
a
future
in
pracQce.
In
light
of
this
informaQon,
how
might
the
content
and
format
of
educaQon
change
and
be
changed?
How
can
the
experQse
of
BTES
be
involved
in
this
potenQal

towards
this

28. In
the
survey
of
students,
the
responses
by
those
a^ending
Harvard
and
Columbia
(the
only
Ivy
League
schools
with
published
student
survey
results)
showed
a
body
of
students
which
tended
to
be
ambivalent
to
architecture’s
professional
insQtuQons,
and
the
profession
as
a
whole.
Asked
if
they
plan
to
become
a
licensed
architect
in
the
future,
only
73%
of
Harvard
and
61%
of
Columbia
said
yes,
compared
to
a
naQonal
average
of
83.4%.
NaQonally,
63%
of
students
either
already
are,
or
plan
to
become
LEED
accredited.
At
Columbia,
this
drops
to
44%,
and
at
Harvard
just
37%
–
and
this
in
a
profession
which,
as
the
report
demonstrates,
values
sustainability
very
highly.
Finally,
this
ambivalence
towards
the
profession
of
architecture
manifests
in
fewer
graduates
being
happy
to
work
for
others:
asked
what
they
plan
to
do
acer
graduaQon,
only
1.8%
of
students
naQonally
predicted
self-­‐employment.
At
Columbia,
this
rises
to
5%,
and
at
Harvard
to
a
colossal
12%.
Let
me
reiterate
that:
Harvard
graduates,
despite
being
hugely
coveted
by
architecture
firms,
are
almost
seven
Qmes
as
likely
as
other
students
to
go
it
alone.

PROTOTYPING
A
NEW
PROFESSION
In
the
CreaQve
Architecture
Machines
Studio,
taught
at
California
College
of
the
Arts
by
Jason
Kelly
Johnson
and
Michael
Shiloh,
students
test
new
arQculaQons
between
design
and
construcQon
by
prototyping
roboQc
assemblies
that
scan
the
environment,
apply
a
design
logic,
and
build
through
iteraQve
mechanisms
that
combine
digital
and
material
feedbacks.
This
pedagogy
uses
advanced
technology
to
teach
students
how
they
can
fundamentally
reimagine
the
design-­‐and-­‐construcQon
process
to
address
the
scale
and
speed
of
contemporary
development
processes.

The
advent
of
21st
century
technologies,
coupled
with
the
irreversible
consequences
of
global
climate
change
and
the
shicing
urban
needs
for
an
expanding
urban
populaQon
of
2.5
billion
people
delimit
the
core
challenges
that
are
defining
the
future
of
the
discipline
of
Architecture.
This
short
paper
is
an
overview
of
the
STEM
Academy’s
charter,
and
then
promotes
architecture’s
evoluQon
to
a
STEM
discipline.

Our
problem
is
this:
men
live
on
the
earth.
Why?
How?
Others
will
answer
you.
My
task
is
to
search,
is
to
try
to
save
these
men
of
today
from
misfortune,
from
catastrophes,
to
establish
them
in
condi?ons
of
happiness,
of
everyday
happiness,
of
harmony.
It
concerns
especially
reestablishing
or
establishing
harmony
between
men
and
their
environment.
