This year Pressing Matters 9 was completely rethought; the aim was
to present an Open Source publication that shares the Department of
Architecture's concept of design research, an integral approach of
critical thinking, rigorous research, and a deep understanding of
the complex layers of architecture. Together with Jonathan Jackson
of the renowned design Studio WSDIA in NYC, a more integral design
was developed, allowing input from research [ARI labs], students,
faculty and Penn's special events. The content and layout focus on
an indepth representation on how in recent years we have integrated
expertise and content from our courses into our Design Studio's.
Pressing Matters is an annual design and research compilation from
the Department of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania
Stuart Weitzman School of Design, showcasing student work, faculty
research, and innovations in pedagogy. The Department launched the
one year MSDRAS program this year, directed by Assistant Professor
Robert Stuart Smith. The Master of Science in Design: Robotics and
Autonomous Systems aims to critically develop novel approaches to
the design, manufacturing, construction, use, and lifecycle of
architecture through creative engagement with robotics, material
systems, and design computation. Students will develop skills in
advanced forms of robotic fabrication, simulation, and artificial
intelligence, in order to develop methods for design that harness
production or live adaptation as a creative opportunity. This is an
excellent addition to the existing MSD programs: the MSDEBD
directed by Professor Bill Braham and the MSDAAD directed by
Professor Ali Rahim, all presented in Pressing Matters 9.
