If you are in St. Louis this Fri/Sat, Darrick will be speaking at Washington University’s Sam Fox School of Design for their symposium:  URBANISM(S): SUSTAINABLE CITIES FOR ONE PLANET.  His talk, Edible Infrastructures: Cities, Farms & Algorithms, will explore the generative potential of food systems in the design of future cities and a discussion of the potential...

We’re packing our bags. Join us in San Francisco this Thurs-Sun where we’ll present our peer-reviewed paper – ‘Edible Infrastructures: Emergent Organizational Patterns for the Productive City’ summarizing our ongoing research into cities, algorithmic design & food systems. Other notable speakers at this year’s ACADIA conference include Greg Lynn, Neri Oxman, Saul Griffith, Achim Menges and Manuel DeLanda....

Edible Infrastructures is honored to be invited to attend TEDxDUMBO:Cities2.0 http://tedxdumbo.com/ this weekend to see/hear/discuss some inspirational new ideas on the future of cities. Check back later next week for a full report on the day’s events.

Phase II research, including our second test case, is slowly making its way onto the site.  Check the tabs above for the most recent work which focuses on spatial development of our prototypical Productive City, including: – programming of the urban circulatory network – a new emergent productive urban block organization – combinatorial strategies for...

Edible Infrastructures partners, Darrick Borowski and Jeroen Janssen have just learned that they have been awarded ‘Distinction’ for their dissertation “Edible Infrastructures: Organizational Patterns for Urban-Agricultural Landscapes.”  Thanks to everyone in Emtech (Emergent Technologies & Design) at the Architectural Association, especially Mike Weinstock, George Jeronimidis, Wolf Mangelsdorf, Toni Kotnik, Suryansh Chandra and many many more…

Edible Infrastructures, Vol II is in.  Printed, Bound, Delivered. Lots of new work in the spatial development of our algorithmically generated urban tissues. We’ll be posting new research from this phase online over the coming days.

We were asked to participate in the panel discussion and launch of ‘Urban Prototypes’, the new Research Cluster at the AA.  Jeroen and I (Darrick)  presented our work to-date, discussed the role of the ‘prototype’ in the context of urban design and answered questions as to how our work serves a model for an urban prototype.  The...

..to one of our team. Nikoletta has been awarded her Master’s with Distinction for her work on Edible Infrastructures. Congratulations Nikoletta! (Sooooo, see you back in studio on Monday?)

We are pleased to announce that Edible Infrastructures has won 2nd prize in the international design competition for a Center for Urban Farming in Brooklyn, New York.   See the announcement and other winning entries at the Suckerpunch website. Thanks again to our mentors, friends & colleagues who helped make it happen.
