This book sets out the conditions under which the need for a new approach to the production of architecture in the twenty-first century is established, where our homes and cities are facing increasing pressures from environmental challenges that are compromising our lives and well being. Vibrant architecture embodies a new kind of architectural design practice that explores how lively materials, or 'vibrant matter', may be incorporated into our buildings to confer on them some of the properties of living things, such as movement, growth, sensitivity and self-repair. The theoretical and practical implications of how this may occur are explored through the application of a new group of materials. Characteristically, these substances possess some of the properties of living systems but may not have the full status of being truly alive. They include forms of chemical artificial life such as 'dynamic droplets' or synthetically produced soils. As complex systems, they are able to communicate directly with the natural world using a shared language of chemistry and so, negotiate their continued survival in a restless world. Vibrant architecture may create new opportunities for architectural design practice that venture beyond top-down form-finding programs, by enabling architects to co-design in partnership with human and nonhuman collectives, which result from the production of post natural landscapes. Ultimately, vibrant architecture may operate as an ecological platform for human development that augments the liveliness of our planet, rather than diminishes it.

In this ground-breaking book, the first to provide an overview of the theory and practice of experimental architecture, Rachel Armstrong explores how interdisciplinary, design-led research practices are beginning to redefine the possibilities of architecture as a profession. Drawing on experts from disciplines as varied as information technology, mathematics, poetry, graphic design, scenography, bacteriology, marine applied science and robotics, Professor Armstrong delineates original, cutting-edge architectural experiments through essays, quotes, poetry, equations and stories. Written by an acknowledged pioneer of architectural experiment, this visionary book is ideal for students and researchers wishing to engage in experimental, practice-based architectural and artistic research. It introduces radical new ideas about architecture and provides ideas and inspiration which students and researchers can apply in their own work and proposals, while practitioners can draw on it to transform their creative assumptions and develop thereby a distinctive "edge" to stand out in a highly competitive profession.

"Global Art, Culture, and Media Perspectives" offers a comprehensive exploration of the intricate relationships between art, culture, and media in our interconnected world. We delve into the profound impact of globalization on creative expressions, cultural identities, and media landscapes. Beginning with an examination of the historical and theoretical foundations of globalization, we explore how it has transformed the production, distribution, and consumption of art, culture, and media. Through diverse case studies and theoretical frameworks, we provide insights into the complexities of cultural exchange, hybridization, and resistance in the contemporary global context. We critically engage with contemporary artworks, cultural phenomena, and media artifacts to uncover the diverse manifestations of global cultural production and consumption. From international art biennials to transnational media conglomerates, we highlight how individuals and communities navigate cultural differences today. We address the power dynamics in global cultural flows, including cultural imperialism, hegemony, and appropriation, advocating for a more inclusive and equitable approach to cultural exchange. Examples of cultural activism, grassroots media initiatives, and collaborative artistic projects demonstrate how art, culture, and media foster cross-cultural dialogue and solidarity. Accessible yet intellectually rigorous, this book is essential for anyone interested in creativity, communication, and globalization.
