This paper reports on the experiences of creative practice graduate researchers and academic staff as they seek to comply with the requirements of the Australian National Statement on the Ethical Conduct of Research Involving Humans. The research was conducted over a two-year period (2015 to 2017) as part of a wider project ‘iDARE – Developing New Approaches to Ethics and Research Integrity Training through Challenges Presented by Creative Practice Research’. The research identified the appreciation of ethics that the participants acquired through their experience of institutional research ethics procedures at their university. It also revealed a disjunction between the concepts of ethics acquired through meeting institutional research ethics requirements, the notion of ethics that many researchers adopt in their own professional creative practice and the contents of professional codes of conduct. A key finding of the research was that to prepare creative practice graduates for ethical decision-making in their professional lives, research ethics training in universities should be broadened to encompass a variety of contexts and enable researchers to develop skills in ethical know-how.
In the last decade, biotechnical architecture has become one of the most fertile areas for speculative architecture. Guest‐Editor Pia Ednie‐Brown traces the recent lineage of this field, highlighting the work of Ginger Krieg Dosier and Michael Dosier of Vergelabs, which has pushed biotechnical architecture further towards actualisation; their company bioMASON specialises in the biomanufacture of building material and its architectural applications.
An interdisciplinary design research collaborative led by AlisaAndrasek, CONTINUUM emerged from a series of design research seminars at Columbia University's graduate school of architecture. Working collaboratively with Robert Aish, Andresek's workshops explored the potential of the new Bentley Systems' GenerativeComponents design software, which at the time was in beta testing. CONTINUUM was formed to extend the possibilities of such collaborations and has expanded its network, occupying an interesting and unique territory of intersecting interests between academia, corporate practice and the companies that create design tools. Traditionally understood as antagonistic, commercial and progressive interests and intentions find common ground in their shared need for research into advanced design software that will enable the retooling of architectural practice. Here, Pia Ednie-Brown, with illustrations by Alisa Andrasek, examines the unique ways in which CONTINUUM enfolds diverse professional and academic practices. 18An interdisciplinary design research collaborative led by Alisa Andrasek, CONTINUUM emerged from a series of design research seminars at Columbia University's graduate school of architecture.

CONTINUUM A Self-Engineering Creature-Culture CONTINUUM: A Self-Engineering Creature-CultureSymbolic model, modelled in Bentley Systems' GenerativeComponents software, illustrating the topological map between features. The model is made up of points, lines and angles that are informed by the specific location of 'attractor' features. Neri Oxman, Tropisms: Computing Theoretical Morphospaces of Branching Growth Systems, MIT, 2006The project was developed by Neri Oxman from the MIT Computation Group. As its main focus, an L-system is developed as a cellular automata algorithm to allow multiple effects to occur simultaneously within the 'growth' process of the system. The logic follows an algorithm that takes in as variables the initial rules for 'growth' and 'decay' , and a set of local 'attractor' points that affect the system locally. Top: Images illustrating two models that were developed from the same algorithm (identical grammars) using different locations of 'attractor' points. Bottom: P...
In an age of casual dressing and informal, fluid social meetings, Pia Ednie‐Brown, Associate Professor the School of Architecture and Design at RMIT University, Melbourne, highlights the paradox of the highly formalist nature of many temporary structures. Often designed to be the event itself, pop‐ups have become the ‘architecture of the occasion’. These are epitomised by the elaborate and eccentric one‐off designs of cultural pavilions or follies. Could it be, Ednie‐Brown asks, that this shift to a formalist architecture is giving us the unique opportunity to embrace the casual informality of today's social interactions, while still getting ‘glimmeringly sequined up for the event’?
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
