abstract:
”Second Wave thinkers conceived of the human species as the culmination of a long evolutionary process; Third Wave thinkers must now face the fact that we are about to become the designers of evolution.” (Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave, New York, 1981)
Despite the evolution of technology of the last decades, the human society embraces similar modalities of organization in collective dwellings. This paper draws a comparative analysis between different systems of organization in contemporary period on the one hand and the similarities in organization methods in ancient times, on the other. The rediscovery of the time-tested functional principles and the adaptability to multi-cellular dwelling structures in present times can be a useful example for evolutionary comparative analysis. By comparing different types of living units in different periods of time we can express our position regarding the evolution of the society. Consequently, the paper analyzes reference examples such as Derinkuyu (living underground caves) and Mvrdv in contemporary times, linking them to similar architectural constructions. The multi-cells programs are tackled in a formal analysis, with additional graphical representations of the organizations, the technological particularities and the human vs. overall scale topics. The cultural heritage follows the types of organization and the reactions on the fundamental levels of human nature. Therefore, the program that reaches its “end” today is adapted to new forms of interpretation regarding the act of living tomorrow.
Spot on with this write-up, I seriously believe this amazing site needs much more attention. I’ll probably be back again to see more, thanks
for the info!

it’s new to me. Nonetheless, I’m certainly happy I came across it and I’ll be book-marking it and checking back often!
I visited various web pages except the audio quality for audio songs present at this web site The Identity of Multicellular Dwelling System. The Living Cell – International Conference on Architectural Research ICAR 2012 | crisan architecture is in fact excellent.
Hello it’s me Fiona, I am also visiting this website The Identity of Multicellular Dwelling System. The Living Cell – International Conference on Architectural Research ICAR 2012 | crisan architecture on a regular basis, this web site is genuinely nice and the visitors are in fact sharing nice thoughts.
That’s a knowing answer to a diuffcilt question
I am really eager of reading The Identity of Multicellular Dwelling System. The Living Cell – International Conference on Architectural Research ICAR 2012 | crisan architecture regarding creating new blog, or even on the topic of Web optimization.
That’s a shrewd answer to a tricky quieston
definitely, fabulous images and text ! hardly wait for more..! all the best (my email is attached :))
