Abstract :
Karl Chu ruminates on the far-reaching impact that the convergence of computation and biogenetics will have on the unfolding history of man and nature. Could the world be moving into the so-called Post-Human Era, which will bring forth a new kind of biomachinic mutation of organic and inorganic substances? How can architects reconfigure the practice of their discipline in order to meet the demands of this computational and biogenetic revolution?
