Pamphlet Architecture 37
Catty Dan Zhang
2023

Pamphlet Architecture 37 was awarded to Catty Dan Zhang for her submission “Active Atmospheres: On Instruments and Protocols for Medium Hybrids and Architectural Voids.” By constructing atmospheres as the world of the unseen in real time and as part of environmental, social, and technological realities, PA37 examines our radically mutated intimacy with digital technology. In three categories of a total of eight design experiments, the author analyzes techniques and mediums that are essential to contemporary digital culture and translates networked technological interfaces into synergistic spatial systems and materialities in response to present urgencies around the air we breathe, the data we exchange, the image we consume—through the industrial, mechanical, domestic, and virtual frameworks.

This pamphlet includes conversations with Orit Halpern and Rebecca Uchill.
