Stripped-Down Shelters (S*D*S) are part of an on-going project to consider technologically intensive yet minimally spatialized shelters. Mechanisms, prefabricated assembly systems, and transformable componentry are all factors toward specific and self-contained architectural entities.

In addition to their compactness, Stripped-Down-Shelters require no penetration of the ground plane and, therefore, no property.

 

Stripped-Down Villas : Micro-Estates (S*D*V) are part of an on-going project thatcompact selected aspects of luxuriant living conditions down to a formulation of MICRO-ESTATES.

Eco/Mechs are ecological agents that constitute an approach to decentralizing infrastructure. As members of a METAL_ZOO they act together to form a SWARM_INFRASTRUCTURE.

 

split studio is an office for both applied and research-based projects in architecture, print, multi-media, and critical texts. its current interests are focused on the possibilities of architecture and computation. it is also interested in what, in history, can problematize the way one works with digital media in order to enact a tension between convention and experimentalism.

based in brooklyn and on the web, split studio was founded in by jason vigneri-beane (jcvb@splitstudio.com).
