in square lab is an architectural practice that specializes in Time Based Architecture.
This
is an architecture that interacts intelligently with the environment
and its users. This is based on the idea that the environment and the
perception of it changes over time, hence allowing for the prospect of
an architecture that manipulates the complex processes within the
environment (ie media) to create new tangible and intelligent
relationships.
The practice and design of Time Based Architecture
are technology driven and often involves collaboration with diverse
disciplines. Through the utilization of cutting edge technology and
diverse knowledge, we begin to manipulate and interpret media in new
ways. This manipulation of media in time creates an architecture that
can interact intelligently with the environment and its users.
An
architecture that can interact intelligently with the environment and
its users is different from and provides more value than a static
architecture because it can address issues with the environment and
users in real time. In other words, the architecture can react to
changes in the environment or users, and adapt/ respond accordingly to
create an optimal condition.
