Lecture date: 1998-11-21 The collaborative projects of Kolatan/MacDonald Studio reflect their interest in the impact of new technologies on the discipline of architecture. One of the emerging spatial paradigms is that of the network as a system of inter-relations between dissipative processes and aggregative structures that shape new spatial patterns and protocols. Their work focuses on the network model's capacity for cross-categorical and cross-scalar couplings whereby the initial systems are not merely interconected but form new hybrid identities. What differentiates this new generation of chimerical hybrid from previous mechanistic ones is the act of transformation. These new systems are not determined and cannot be understood through a logical extension of the initial parts alone. They are hybrid, but nonetheless seamlessly and inextricably continuous. Sulan Kolatan and Bill MacDonald founded New York-based Kolatan/MacDonald Studio in 1988. They both teach at Columbia School of Architecture.
