Abstract

The paper discusses the critical difference of modernist approach of designing for- and increasing approaches of designing with- or across-, in this case with/across the overall eco-system. The research aims to engage all possible agencies in urban environment for its shift from Anthropocene. Such attempts resulted in ratification of its own design field called Systemic Approach to Architectural Performance. The research by design is generated through real life community trans-disciplinary observations, gigamapping, full-scale prototyping and their performance reflections and re-designs, being called the ‘real life co-design laboratory’. It is achieved through two layers: engaging the communities at place with prototypes as well as placing parametric recipes for DIY online. The prototypes are therefore also exhibits with QR codes leading to the DIY recipes to be locally adapted for specific parameters. This work is therefore oscillating between the ‘bottom up’ and the ‘top down’ approach, targeting the local specific communities worldwide.
