Beyond Entropy

Beyond Entropy

Energy in architecture is normally considered as either an exclusively technical issue or something relating to the sustainability debate. While both these are important they are reductive -- architects seeking to solve specific energy related problems. This project sets out to create a new paradigm for talking about energy, which can be used to stimulate and frame new forms of understanding.

This project places architects at the heart of the enquiry, stimulating the relationship between the scientists and artists to create a new horizon for how we think about energy and its relationship with space.
