The talk will focus on several recent projects by the architectural collaborative servo of which Gow is a founding partner and on student work from a series of research seminars taught by Gow and David Erdman at the UCLA department of Architecture and Urban Design. 14:00 *Title: “L’envers du décor”: ornamentation and technology in late 20th century architecture"* Speaker: Brenda Edgar After the style imagé of the 1990's ornamentation in contemporary architecture, appeared forms of algorithmic ornamentation presenting a means of generating form through calculation and process based procedures, thus transcending the aesthetic critique. Is this “non-standard” production enabled by currents CNC technologies re-establishing the possibility of customization that has been excluded from architecture since the industrial revolution? This lecture explores this question and situates the current trends among this discourse.
