detail: Inspired by recent advances in the life sciences, many of today’s architects are exploring new design techniques, structures and materials.  The Gen(H)ome Project, on view at the MAK Center for Art & Architecture through February 25, 2007, presents projects that utilize the methodologies of nanotechnology, climatology, cell physiology, robotics and algorithms to create “genetic modifications” of the Schindler House.  Complementing the exhibition, the panel discussion will explore how evolutionary systems, organisms, populations and emergent behavior have engendered new possibilities for architecture. Admission: free with general $6/7 admission to the Schindler House.
