Formed in 2001, AUDC [Architecture Urbanism Design Collaborative] specializes in research as a form of practice. The AUDC Network Architecture Lab is an experimental unit at Columbia University that
embraces the studio and the seminar as venues for architectural analysis and speculation, exploring new forms of research through architecture, text, new media design, film production and environment design...
Specifically, the Network Architecture Lab investigates the impact of computation and communications on architecture and urbanism. What
opportunities do programming, telematics, and new media offer architecture?
How does the network city affect the building? Who is the subject and what
is the object in a world of networked things and spaces? How do
transformations in communications reflect and affect the broader
socioeconomic milieu? The NetLab seeks to both document this emergent
condition and to produce new sites of practice and innovative working
methods for architecture in the twenty-first century. Using new media
technologies, the lab aims to develop new interfaces to both physical and
virtual space.
The NetLab is consciously understood as an interdisciplinary unit,
establishing collaborative relationships with other centers both at Columbia
and at other institutions.
The NetLab begins operations in September 2006.
