Monumental Wastelands - 2022
Immersive video wall - A reconstruction of urban memories into a new streetscape
“Monumental Wastelands Magazine'' is a bi-annual independent publication for the research and investigation of contemporary spatial practices and its contingencies, materialized as a bi-lingual (English/Spanish) augmented magazine, with written and visual contributions from a diverse group of authors in various fields with different backgrounds. Additionally, each of the articles has an original augmented contribution, which can be accessed via the AR App.

All iteractive - How can developing interactive and immersive games with players feedback loops produce design research?
All interactive - Lecture on teaching and Folly Feast Lab work - University of Tokyo - Syracuse Florence - ALBA Beirut - Angewante - 2022ALL INTERACTIVE investigates the role of interaction and immersion in designing spaces. We will dive into the exciting world of game engine, photogrammetry, artificial intelligence, simulation, networking, virtual and mixed realities to understand how they can be built as research tools.

Demo Demo Demo Demo exhibition
Architecture’s power lies in the ability to adapt and enact new, possible futures that demolish dated norms. Demonstration implies design can be both a generative act and form of resistance. cityLAB's upcoming exhibition, "Demo Demo" (Demolition, Demonstration), features new work on housing, open space, resilience, material transformations, and more from their initiatives and the projects of UCLA AUD faculty.

Other Wilds
IDEAS Summer studio exhibition - UCLA A.UD - 2021The Other Wilds Summer Studio exhibition will congregate around the topic of wilderness. Through a series of design exercises, we speculated on and experimented with Earth’s wild environments, technology’s wild algorithms, and fiction’s wild futures. Other Wilds is built on a thematic collaboration between all four of the UCLA A.UD IDEAS studios, and gives a taste of the workflows and concepts we cover as a collective. Common to all the studios is a focus on technological innovation and future speculation, as we all search for the urgent agendas and new media at the edge of architectural practice.
Over the summer, we worked on three mini-projects that will expose you to software and workflows used by the IDEAS studios around technological interaction, simulation, and representation:
Yara Feghali: Wild Choreography - Agent Simulation and Surface Modeling
Yara Feghali: Virtual Herbaria - Augmented Reality and Game Engine
Nathan Su: Hyper-Human Wilds - Speculation and Representation
