1971: Charles Harker, founder of the TAO Design Group in Austin, Texas, juxtaposes Le Corbusier’s “machine for living” with a new concept for habitation that he coins the “soft machine.” The Tao Design Group—a group of architects, sculptors and artists— experiments on building without drawings, spraying urethane on a chicken wire armature based on sketches and written rules for enclosure. Every step is a fluctuating process of incremental adjustments that necessitates constant reinvention of the original plan.

More recycling: Does recycling refer only to materials and physical matter? EcoRedux suggests that in addition to the recycling of materials, we recycle histories of the immediate past. In the history of ideas, discourses get recycled. Concepts emerge as allegedly new, though ideas undergo long journeys of migration from one epistemological field to another. Therefore, recycling is an ideational and philosophical system of viewing the world of ideas, information and matter as flow rather than as the accumulation of discrete objects. More than a material system, recycling signals the migration of life through the conversion of one thing to another.

URBAN PLANET will reflect on the urgency to affect change in urbanization practices when confronted with the context of unviable “territorial ecologies,” defined as spheres of sustainable interaction between humans and their environment. The guest speakers will shape an explicit understanding of different urban contexts examined via the lens of ecological viability and speculate open-ended alternative urban futures. . . . We aim to reveal the inner workings of emerging urban and demonstrate the inevitability of this discussion in our overpopulated and URBAN PLANET.
